Recent ideas on the multifarious role of cyclically recurring fires in the transformation of the main components of biogeocenoses in forests of light coniferous formation in the taiga zone of the northern hemisphere are summarized. A classification is given of the burns according to destruction of the succession of the main tree layer. The hypothesis of 'impuse pyrogenous induction' of regeneration of Scots pine population is substantiated. The idea of the fire as an 'information matrix' securing continuity of the horizontal structure of phytocenoses is proposed. The influence of fires on the cycle of soil formation and biogeochemical evolution of landscapes is discussed, as well as adaptation of tree pyrophytes and the role of fire selection in the formation of composition of plant ecobiomorphs in pine forests.
