Abstract

Summary

Ukraine is obliged to comply with a number of conventions and strategies aimed at protecting wetlands. The territory of the Rivne Nature Reserve includes a number of unique Ramsar sites. In the past, these areas were transformed into a system of retaining structures, canals, and drained lands for agricultural and military purposes. Despite the positive economic impact of these land reclamation systems on the region, the past few decades have demonstrated the vulnerability of both natural systems and existing settlements to the transformation of the hydrographic network and peat wetlands.

The increase in the number of forest and peat fires is one of the consequences of such transformations. In order to justify revitalisation measures for wetland massifs, we conducted a spatio-temporal assessment of fire occurrence in the Somyne and Syra Pohonia massifs for the period 2010 to 2023. The modelling results indicate that fires occur almost every year, but their extent is particularly significant in low-water periods.
