The relevance of the research lies in the fact that the well-being of the Ukrainian nation, present and future generations, largely depends on the preservation of existing ecosystems, their support, and the enhancement of their quality and biodiversity. Particular attention should be paid to the problem of land cover degradation. Land cover currently holds a unique status regarding food security and is a dominant source for renewing crucial biospheric functions, ensuring the diversity of living organisms.
The anthropogenic and technological pressure on Ukraine's environment (land cover) exceeds several times the corresponding indicators in developed countries. A remote sensing data methodology was proposed to assess the impact of human, technical activities (anthropogenic predictor) on land cover degradation.
As a result of the research, the obtained data allowed for the assessment of Ukraine's land cover status and revealed the degree of its degradation caused by the influence of anthropogenic factors, namely, irrational agricultural practices, non-efficient long-term exploitation of mineral deposits, ineffective urban infrastructure design, irrational practices in forestry and park management, the influence of reservoirs, forest, and steppe fires, as well as military activities.
