Abstract: | Based on the fire statistics, the Daxing’anling forest area were classified into three fire cycle regions: northern coniferous
virgin forest region with a fire cycle ofl 10–120 years, middle conifer-broad-leaved mixed forest region with a fire cycle
of 30–40 years, and southern broad-leaved secondary forest region with a fire cycle of 15–20. The percentage of conifers and
broad-leaved trees, forest age and natural mature period of main tree species in different fire cycle regions were discussed
in concern with fire occurrence. The characteristics of fire adaptation and fire resistance of main tree species, such as
sexual and asexual reproduction, were discussed and evaluation of the synthetical fire adaptation was made. |
