The paper analyzes the spatial and temporal distribution of wildfires over a 13-year period in 36 sites of the Emerald Network located within the Ukrainian Polissia region. Materials of remotely sensed data from MODIS satellites provided by the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS) were used. The number of hotspots in each of the Emerald Network sites was calculated, and the density of fires was determined both in individual sites and for the entire territory. The temporal distribution of wildfires occurrence was analyzed, and the years and seasons of the maximum and minimum number of fires were identified. The area of burned land was estimated. The Emerald Network sites were ranked according to the obtained quantitative indicators. The locations and types of ecosystems most and least affected by fires were identified. It was established that most of the studied Emerald Network sites are characterized by a lower frequency of wildfires occurrence compared to the average values for the region.
