Remote Sensing Monitoring of Biotopes Distribution within Nature Reserve Area

Abstract

The core of renewable natural resources of any nation is its natural reserve fund. The issue of natural ecosystems preserving is becoming more and more actual at the present stage in terms of increasing human influence on the environment. The article presents models of assessment and analysis of the environmental state of nature reserves combining remote and ground-based methods of research. The natural resources potential and biotope distribution within Biloozerskyi site of Rivne Nature Reserve were analyzed based on the Earth Remote Sensing data in order to ensure the preservation of background environmental indicators. The technology of cartographic provision for assessment and analysis of the environmental condition of natural protected areas by means of geoinformation technologies providing interpretation of the results of analysis in a graph form on electronic maps was considered.
