[Factors affecting the vegetation restoration after fires in cold temperate wetlands: A review].

Cold temperate wetland plays an important role in maintaining regional ecological balance.Fire is an important disturbance factor in wetland ecosystem.Severe burning can induce the marked degradation of the ecological functions of wetland ecosystem.The vegetation restoration,especially the early vegetation restoration,after fires,is the premise and basis for the recovery of the ecological functions of the ecosystem.This paper reviewed the research progress on the factors affecting the vegetation restoration after fires in wetlands.The vegetation restoration after fires in cold temperate wetlands was controlled by the fire intensity,fire size,vegetation types before fires,regeneration characteristics of plant species,and site conditions.It was considered that the long-term monitoring on the post-fire vegetation restoration in cold temperate wetland,the key factors affecting the vegetation restoration,the roles of frozen soil layer on the post-fire vegetation restoration,and the theories and technologies on the vegetation restoration would be the main research directions in the future.
