Climate impact drivers provoke fires in protected areas of Polissia / Karamushka V., Boychenko S., Nazarova O. // 16th International Conference Monitoring of Geological Processes and Ecological Condition of the Environment, Monitoring, 15-18 November 2022. - Kyiv, 2022. - Code 188342. - https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.2022580238https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.2022580238https://ekmair.ukma.edu.ua/handle/123456789/26273The purpose of the research was to analyze the dynamic of the climate impact drivers (CIDs) in the Regional Landscape Park Mizhrichynskyi (RLPM), Chernihiv Region, and to determine changes occurred in the protected areas affected by CIDs using the satellite monitoring data. It is shown that in the region for the period 1991-2021, such CIDs as the average annual surface temperature have a tendency to increase (the rate is 0.68оС per 10 years, average annual value is 8.4±0.9оС), while atmospheric precipitation tends to decrease by 5-7% per 10 years (-24 mm per 10 years, an average annual value is 581±94 mm). During periods with minimal precipitation and high temperatures, conditions favorable for the development of fires arise. Such conditions were observed in 2020. As a result of the fire in the RLPM (April 2020), more than 650 hectares of forest ecosystems were affected. Using the satellite monitoring data, the area of the territory covered by the fire was determined, and using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index as an indicator, the development of successional processes in this territory was recorded. Field studies confirm the occurrence of pioneer species in the fires. The list of these species includes but not restricted to Viola tricolor, Pinus sylvestris, Salix rosmarinifolia, Corynephorus canescens, Oenothera biennis L., Hieracium pilosella L.enRegional Landscape Park Mizhrichynskyiclimate impact driversforest ecosystemsecosystems of the Ukrainian Polissiaclimatic conditionsconference materialsConference materials
