Information Technologies in Remote Sensing of the Earth

The results of experimental studies presented in this paper characterize the possibility of damaged forests quantitative state assessment in a few years after the fire according to multispectral satellite measurements. The necessary reference data on forest damage were collected during the ground surveys of test fire sites in the Republic of Komi and the Krasnoyarsk territory. The study showed that understory represented by grass and shrub vegetation has a significant impact on the values of vegetative indices during the active vegetation phase, and there is a need for local accounting of this factor.
