EVALUATION OF THE DYNAMICS OF RECOVERY AFTER FOREST FIRE WITH INTERPRETATION OF SATELLITE IMAGES

Рожков Ю.Ф., Кондакова М.Ю.
The dynamics of forest fires, changing vegetation on burned successfully traced in multispectral satellite images taken at intervals of several years. With the use of satellite image interpretation study area, made in the range of 15 years (1995-2009) was able to follow the dynamics of fouling on the scene of a fire burning in 1985. Show which areas and to what extent is overgrown wasteland and woodland formed on the site of the fire, due to overgrowth of larch, birch and pine. It is shown how and to what extent an increase forest productivity as overgrown burning on what areas has changed the composition of tree species. It is shown that there is an increase of burning overgrown vegetation index (which is directly related to productivity). Thus, in the period from 1995 to 2004. overgrowing smoother, and for the period from 2004 to 2009. rapid overgrowth.
