Discontinuous permafrost occurs widely in the boreal forest, while throughout the tundra region permafrost is continuous and may be hundreds of metres deep. Until recent years few investigations have been conducted on the effects of fire on the perennially frozen ground in these northern circumpolar ecosystems. Little modification of permafrost conditions takes place during the actual burning, but the partial or complete destruction of the organic cover produces changes in permafrost lasting many years. There are three major effects of fire on permafrost, which are related to the amounts of vegetation and organic soil that are removed: the deepening of the active layer with resultant thermokarst and instability of newly thawed soils or slop...
