Abstract

Results are presented from an analysis of multitemporal data obtained via satellite monitoring of the state of vegetation on the territory of Ivano–Arakhley Nature Park (Zabaikal’sky krai) after a 2015 natural fire. Radar and optical data are acquired from the Sentinel 1 and Sentinel 2 spacecraft, respectively. Spectral indices NDVI, NBR, MIRBI, and NDRE are used in combination with radar vegetation index RVI to determine the dynamics of the restoration of the vegetation cover affected by the fire. The positive dynamics in the state of the vegetation in postfire period 2016–2019 is shown by an increase in the values ​​of the NDVI, NBR, NDRE, and RVI indices. The effect the atmosphere on the values of the vegetation index ​​is shown.
