We considered certain regularities in the transformations undergone by the plant communities during post-fire successions in a widely occurring forest of broadleaved-dark coniferous-Korean pine dominated by Pinus koraiensis, Picea jezoensis, Tilia taquetii and well developed mixed shrubs layer in the middle mountainous belt of the Southern Sikhote-Alin. The distinctive features of growth-rate and dynamics of the number of the post-fire tree generations were defined on 7 sample plots (50×50 m2), which were established on burn sites of diverse age. The distinctive features of the developing plant populations and the dynamics of the sinusial structure in the plant communities were revealed. The development and dynamics of the populations of initial, series and climax forms during post-fire successions in various areas were studied. The diversity and complexity of the sinusial structure in the communities were associated closely with different stages of post-fire successions.
