Abstract
The focus of this investigation is on larch forests that occur on long-term permafrost. In spite of their comparatively small volume of wood they are of great importance, since they carry out an important stabilizing role in conditions where ecological equilibrium is easily disturbed. Powerful exogenous influences such as forest fires actively interfere with the life of the forest and may determine its future existence. Larch forests help to stabilize the ecological balance of the surrounding environment and provide a barrier impeding the expansion of the tundra to the south.
