Forest fires have an impact on forest stands, atmosphere and soils in forested areas. Many authors have established that the thermal effect on the near-surface layer of soil can have a negative impact both on the soil itself and the further development of grass stands and forest stands. It is necessary to develop systems for geoinformation monitoring, taking into account the thermophysical processes in the soil layer at the level of mathematical models. It is necessary to conduct experiments to verify such models....

Thunderstorm activity is the main natural cause of forest fires occurrence. Lightning discharges are divided into cloud-to-ground and cloud-to-cloud. The higher the current, the higher the probability of fire in the forest. Geographic information systems are a convenient and multifunctional means of visualization and geospatial data analysis, including the level of forest fire danger. It is necessary to design the structure and information flows in such a GIS system. The development of such a GIS system is carried...

Anthropogenic load is the main cause of forest fires near settlements and various objects of transport or industrial infrastructure. It is proposed to mark out a point source of anthropogenic load. Similarity in the processes of propagation of anthropogenic load and diffusion heat transfer was used for simulations. The quantitative characteristic of the anthropogenic load is the virtual (possible) number of forest fires in a controlled forest-covered area. A one-dimensional mathematical model for estimating the sp...
