Wildfires are a major natural disturbance in Siberian forests, and they can strongly affect how much carbon these forests absorb from the atmosphere. This study investigated how different types of Siberian forests recover after fire, using 20 years of satellite data. The researchers looked at five types of forests, from evergreen to mixed and savanna-like forests, and tracked how plant productivity changed after fire. They found that all forest types experienced a drop in productivity after fire, but the size of the loss and the speed of recovery were different. Evergreen forests lost the most and recovered the slowest, while savanna-type forests recovered more quickly. The study also found that more intense or widespread fires led to larger losses, especially in savanna areas. These results show that not all forests respond the same way to wildfire, and forest type plays an important role in how well the land can bounce back. This information can help guide fire management and forest recovery planning in Siberia as wildfires become more frequent in a warming climate.
