Methods employed by researchers to compile a map depicting five levels of vegetation disturbance in lrkutsk Oblast in East Siberia are described. The paper describes the principles involved in the compilation, in an initial stage, of a geobotanical map depicting general levels of fire resistance within basic classes of vegetation, which provides a base for a derivative thematic map of overall vegetation disturbance.
