摘要
Fires significantly affect the structure and diversity of vegetation. Natural recovery of vegetation after fires in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone is of special interest because of its status as a nuclear disaster area. This is the first assessment of the potential for natural regrowth of forest and post-fire succession after the catastrophic fires of 2020 that scorched 62 000 ha of forest across the territory. Most of these areas (>80%) have high potential for natural regeneration but, in the first instance, forest species are commonly replaced by wasteland weeds, some of them invasive; 10 alien plant species were identified in the studied plots. Megafires facilitate vegetation shifts and opportunities for invasive species, especially in the early stages of succession. © 2023 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
