Abstract:

Fire has been man's most powerful tool in shaping subtropical and temperate ecosystems since time immemorial. In Iran most fiers occur in the dry summer season. However, fire has not really been considered as an active agent in shaping Iran's forest distribution pattern and environment, although many reports contain a variety of references to forest fires. A fire raging for many days completely destroying several hectares of "beautiful primary forests". coniferous forest, that its replacement by lesser vegetation can be attributed to destructive agents, especially fire. Forest grazing also impacts possible fire patterns. Continuous grazing reduces the possibility that recurrent ground fires prevent the build up of inflammable debris, which might turn a relative harmless ground fire into a devastating crown fire. Oscillations of the treeline to insolation, wind and the impact of fire are effective in fire's damages. Fires do enormous damage to forests in Iran. The area inflicted comprises at least 217301.3 ha in 1371 till 1380 of 6235 fires. In Khorassan damage of fires in 1383 at least of 539.2 ha of 85 fiers, that15181 trees and 219 ton forage was damage in this fires
