co-exist with the amplifying fire rate [1; 2; 4; 5; 6; 9; 13; 14; 15]. Research is increasingly focusing on firefighting strategy adaptation, as well as studying the ecological role of fires in supporting forest health and biodiversity [13; 16; 17]. It is known that the complete suppression of forest fires leads to fuel accumulation which, in some forests stands, that can result in catastrophic fires. At a landscape level, natural fires may be considered as a tool in mega fire suppression, as other methods are not applicable across extensive boreal ecosystems [17; 18; 19].  
The growing knowledge of the ecological importance of wildfire, especially for pyrolytic species such as larch, is being increasingly acknowledged [4; 13; 20]. Thus, in the North American forests formed by _Larix laricina_, a greater dynamism was found in the wildfire-affected sites compared to the fire-excluded ones. At the wildfire site, tree populations are turning over faster, regenerating trees are growing faster, and more wood debris is available for decomposition [21]. Similarly, fires increase European larch (_Larix decidua_) regeneration [22]. In northern Siberia, larch (_L. sibrica_, _L. gmelinii_) has successfully regenerated within burned areas. However, at the sites with long fire return intervals, regeneration is poor and is not sufficient for supporting larch dominance [9; 23].  
In Siberia, the majority of fires occurred in the permafrost zone of larch-dominance [4; 10; 11]. Forests formed by _Larix sibrica_, _L. gmelinii_, and _L. cajanderi_ occupy a territory of about 310 MH in the permafrost zone. This is the largest forest community in Siberia (i.e., approximately 60% of the forests). Larch is known as the most cold-resistant Siberian species and has thereby adapted to the severe permafrost climate. All larch species evolved under conditions of periodic fires, have adapted to the influence of fires, and have obtained advantages against non-fire-adapted species [9; 21; 22]. Recent studies have shown an increase in larch growth increment as a response to warming [24; 25]. Meanwhile, an amplified fire rate within larch-dominant communities might be a challenge for the resilience of larch to the influence of wildfires.  
Larch-dominant communities within permafrost are considered the largest pool of carbon in Eurasia. Presently, larch forests, as well as Russian forests as a whole, have served as a sink of carbon, although there is a danger of transforming them into a carbon source [26; 27].  
Given the amplified fire rate, it is required (i) to extend and deepen our knowledge on the fire rate and its relationship with environmental variables; (ii) to understand the influence of wildfires on the tree species resilience; and (iii) to improve/adapt the firefighting strategy. In this paper, we have analyzed the influence of wildfires on the larch (_Larix sibrica_, _L. gmelinii_) forests that are growing within the permafrost zone of Siberia. We hypothesized that (i) fires are a prerequisite natural factor that support successful larch regeneration, larch forest vigor, and larch dominance in the permafrost zone; and (ii) warming leads to an increase in burned areas, fire frequency, and intensity.  
We seek answers to the following questions:  
1. What are the temporal and spatial dynamics of the burned areas, fire numbers, and severity in the larch forests growing in the permafrost zone?
2. What is the influence of fires on larch growth and regeneration within permafrost?
3. What are the patterns of post-fire GPP recovery within burns?
4. What should be the approach to firefighting in the zone of larch dominance within permafrost?
