The transect passed through four key regions (75 \u00d7 75 km2) with different climate and landscape conditions that allowed us to evaluate regional wildfire dynamics as well as estimate differences in post-fire forest recovery. The Level-2A Landsat data (TM, ETM+, and OLI) were used to derive: (i) burned area (BA) locations, (ii) timing of wildfire occurrence (date, month, or season), (iii) fire severity, and (iv) trends in post-fire vegetation recovery. We used pre-selected and pre-processed scenes suitable for BA mapping taken within four consecutive time intervals covering the entire period of data analysis (1985\u20132020). Pre- and post-fire dynamics of forest vegetation were described using spectral indices, i.e., NBR and NDVI. We found that during the last three decades, the maximum BA occurred in the southernmost Vanavara region where \u224858% of the area burned. Total BA gradually decreased to the northwest with a minimum in the Igarka region (\u22481%). Nearly half of these BAs appeared between summer 2013 and autumn 2020 due to higher frequency of hot and dry weather. The most severe wildfires were detected in the most northeastern Tura region. Analysis of NDVI and NBR dynamics showed that the mean period of post-fire vegetation recovery ranged between 20 and 25 years. The time of vegetation recovery at BAs with repeat wildfires and high severity was significantly longer.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14030790","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,8]],"date-time":"2022-02-08T23:42:20Z","timestamp":1644363740000},"page":"790","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Wildfire Dynamics along a North-Central Siberian Latitudinal Transect Assessed Using Landsat Imagery"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3491-4487","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yury","family":"Dvornikov","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Landscape Design and Sustainable Ecosystems, Agrarian-Technological Institute, Peoples\u2019 Friendship University of Russia, 117198 Moscow, Russia"},{"name":"Faculty of Geography, Lomonosov Moscow State University, GSP-1, 1-12 Leninskie Gory, 119991 Moscow, Russia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2174-8467","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elena","family":"Novenko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Geography, Lomonosov Moscow State University, GSP-1, 1-12 Leninskie Gory, 119991 Moscow, Russia"},{"name":"Institute of Geography, Russian Academy of Sciences, Staromonetny Lane, 29, 119017 Moscow, Russia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5015-5874","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mikhail","family":"Korets","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"V.N.
