Landscape changes accompanied by changes in soil properties occur in Central Siberia as a result of forest fire, surface processes and human impact. A non-steady-state technique tested the thermal properties of Siberian soils. Thermal conductivity of thawed soil increases in the active layer at depths of 5 and 30 cm after fire, especially in the organic layer due to an increase in density.
