METHOD OF ESTIMATING DISTRIBUTION AND RESERVES OF RESOURCES AND ENDANGERED SPECIES OF PLANTS IN LARGE TERRITORIES

摘要

FIELD: physics.;SUBSTANCE: method of estimating distribution and reserves of resources and endangered species of plants in large territories involves making route field observations using GPS/GLONASS navigation receivers to determine areas where the investigated plant populations are growing, selecting and processing satellite imaging materials, detecting a link between spectral characteristics of the determined areas and field measurement results, modelling distribution and reserves, followed by checking the obtained results and estimating reserves of resources and endangered plant species.;EFFECT: method which enables to estimate density of cenopopulations and reserves of phytomass on large territories based on field investigation data and analysis of high-resolution spectrozonal satellite images Landsat, and the method also enables to forecast reserves of plant material for part of the territory.;3 dwg
