Abstract

Results of an experiment for using the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), computed from NOAA/AVHRR images with a resolution of 8 and 1 km for studying the phenology, structure, and species composition of the taiga forests of Siberia are presented. A study is made of NDVI dynamics on the basis of 10-day values, characterizing the principal phases of the seasonal development of the forest: green wave, peak of increase in phytomass, brown wave, and leafless state. A reliable determination of the species composition of forests in two groups—coniferous and broadleaf—is possible.
