Abstract:The study of spatial pattern of forest fire locations is important to predict the fire occurrence as well as to understand the role of fire in landscape processes. A spatial statistical analysis of lightning-caused fires in Daxing′anling between 1988 and 2005, was carried out to investigate the spatial pattern of fires. Fire locations were found to be spatially clustered. The results also showed that there are some “hot-point” areas in Daxing′anling and geographical coordinates of those areas are 123°06′E,52°20′N;123°41′E,51°34′N;124°08′E,50°48′N, respectively.
