%X <p>The survival of forest tree species in wildfires was examined on two burned stands. Norway spruce (<em>Picea abies</em> (L.) H. Karst.) and birches (<em>Betula</em> spp.) proved to be sensitive to the effects of wildfire; almost all individuals of these tree species were killed by the fires. Scots pine (<em>Pinus sylvestris</em> L.) was more tolerable to the effects of wildfire; i.e. one out of five Scots pines survived. Fire tolerance increased as tree size increased.</p>
