Abstract

The results of Holocene fires history reconstruction in the Kansk forest-steppe Kranoyarsk Territory are presented using the example the Kuskun mire (Esaulovka river basin) and Rybnoye mire (Rybnaya river basin). The complex of paleoecological methods (analysis of macrofossils in peat and charcoal analysis) are using. The stages of increased fire activity were established at 4000-3000 and 1500-500 cal yr BP. These time intervals coincide with a decrease in moisture during the subboreal xerothermic maximum and a short dry period 1400-1300 cal. yr BP subsequently replaced by the Medieval Warm Period. When comparing the results obtained, a coincidence of long fire episodes with a change in local vegetation was revealed.
