Indication of long-term changes in the vegetation of abandoned agricultural lands for the forest-steppe zone using NDVI time series

The paper presents results of the analysis long-term changes in vegetation cover abandoned agricultural lands forest-steppe zone Central Chernozem Region using time series Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), which are measured MOD13Q1 data. index dynamics linked with proportion forest communities formed on is investigated. values for period mid-August most informative analyzing share growing land. Abandoned coniferous forests have a higher correlation NDVI than fallows deciduous species. In 2000-2018, all types arable lands, presence positive statistically significant trend component established. Using slope angle coefficient line, spatio-temporal rate formation stands at beginning XXI century was carried out. Features this process studied.
