Human-caused forest disturbances are destroying and degrading primary forests and are a critical global environmental issue. This is particularly the case within boreal Siberia, which is home to over one-quarter of the world\u2019s remaining primary forests and is subject to increasing fires, logging, and other disturbances.<\/p>\n

Despite this, detailed attribution and trends in disturbances are lacking for most Siberian regions. The Angara region located in the southern taiga of Central Siberia has been a hotspot of forest change in Eurasia, yet still contains vast tracts of remaining primary forests.<\/p>\n

In our study \u00a0we estimated fire and logging disturbances using MODIS and Landsat satellite imagery for the period 2002\u20132020 across the Angara region and analyzed the resulting trends.<\/p>\n

Average annual burned and logged area was about 220 and 31 thousand ha or 2 and 0.3% of the study area, respectively. In total, about 4.1 million ha (38% of the region) and 0.6 million ha (6% of the region) were disturbed by fires and logging, respectively. Both disturbance types showed increasing trends in annual area affected.<\/p>\n

Spatial analysis showed that almost 50% of fires were ignited within 2 km of anthropogenic features such as settlements, roads and logged areas. Almost 5% of the Angara region was burned two or more times during the 19 years of observations. Improved and strictly-enforced conservation and management policies are required to halt continued forest degradation in the Angara region and similarly-affected boreal forests in Siberia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
