Different land cover types fires frequency in floodland landscapes according to remote sensing data

The frequency of fires is one of the signs of the emergence of a landscape fire regime, since the duration of fire periods requires the restoration of vegetation cover. The article shows the results of determining the number of fires in the floodplain landscapes of the Lower Don on the basis of natural burnt areas based on the materials of the remote Earth probe GABAM and revealed maps of land cover types ESA WorldCover. Comparison of these data on the number of fires in the context of the types of abandoned land cover and loans (floodplain areas) for the period 2000-2020. Meadows and wetlands are most often found burning, most often the Manych and Susatsko-Podpolnenskoe zayishchas are burning. The frequency of fires characterizes the most fire hazardous areas where fire prevention is necessary.
