Abstract: Forest fire not only destroys the forest ecosystem,but also emits a great deal of green - house gases,and affect the carbon cycle. Estimating fire emissions can help us to further understand the fire effects on the carbon cycle. This paper analyzed the differences of the vegetation index after fire,based on satellite remote sensing image of Huzhong in Daxing'anling in June 2010,Fire intensity was classified by the changes of vegetation index after the fire. The consumed fuel loading and fire emissions were estimated for the burned areas with different fire intensity and vegetation types. The results show that the total burned area of Huzhong fire is 5812.4 hm2,total fuel consumption is 76742.51 t,carbon emission 34534.13 t,the carbon emissions of the Larch forest and the mixed broadleaf-conifer forest were 14934.16 and 19599.97 t respectively.

Key words: forest fire, fuel loading, carbon emission, Daxing'anling
