Burned-forest area type classification is an integral part of dynamic forest-type classification. Fire influences on forest structure and post-fire stand transformations are directly related to fire parameters and stand characteristics. Burned areas themselves are remarkable for their complex and dynamic nature. Therefore, they are considered to be a complex object from the viewpoints of both fundamental study and practical exploitation. Even when roughly describing burned areas at an elementary level, one encounters quite a number of problems. However, present forest classification and inventory should involve thorough burned- and cut-area studies incorporating both fundamental and practical aspects.
