Abstract

Permanent landscape fires contribute to changes in the species composition of vegetation, the activation of erosive processes and destroy animals and their habitats. For these reasons, it is very important to study the fire regime of natural steppes. The paper shows the dynamics of burning of Steppe lands in the Terekti  District of the West Kazakhstan region for the period from 2016 to 2023. Expert decryption based on data from the research area over a given period of time was made using Sentinel 2 space images. In total, 87,424 hectares of burning were detected. Most of the area was covered by the fire of very large fires, each of which was more than several thousand hectares, and the area of the largest fires exceeded 30 thousand hectares. Most of all burned areas have been repeatedly burned. After 2020, the flammability of the territory has significantly decreased, which is primarily associated with an increase in livestock, and in the second-with a deterioration in hydrothermal conditions. In dry conditions, weather affects the fire regime not as a factor in the spread of fire, but as a factor in the accumulation of a sufficient amount of combustible material. Therefore, a decrease in precipitation, an increase in temperature and pasture loads contribute to a decrease in the number and areas of fires due to a decrease in plant mass reserves.
