CHANGES IN THE SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF VEGETATION COVER CLASSES IN UKRAINE BASED ON TEMPORAL DATA FROM SPACE SURVEY UNDER MODERN CLIMATE CONDITIONS
Abstract
The article presents the results of using multi-zone space survey materials from different spacecraft to distinguish different types of land cover and establish their boundaries and changes in their sizes over time. Space images from Sentinel, Landsat, Proba V, and TERRA/MODIS devices were used, which differ in spatial resolution, rotation frequency, and orbital period. Changes in the sizes of the established types of land cover over time are an indicator that allows assessing the nature and intensity of the impact of anthropogenic and natural climatic factors, which is necessary for the rational use of natural resources and the prevention of environmental disasters. The studies were carried out at two scale levels - at the level of Ukraine as a whole and the level of known natural zones. Images from the TERRA/MODIS satellite for 2001-2023 were mainly use. To identify changes in the vegetation cover of Ukraine, various classifications were used, compiled by various international organizations. The results of the research were obtained in quantitative form. In general, the results of the classification of land covers within the territory of Ukraine do not contradict ground observations but only complement them. The established changes in the areas occupied by different classes of vegetation allowed us to calculate changes in CO2 absorption by different classes of land covers during the study period.
