For the vegetation classes, which cover the ground surface with a rather small area and studied by means of the ground-based remote sensors it’s necessary to select the suitable spectral indices, which cloud responded in a fast and effective way to dynamic environmental conditions induced by the different stress factors. The vegetation indices (VIs) can be such indicators calculated by the mathematical operations using reflectances in the different spectral ranges measured by the field remote sensors, i.e. spectroradiometers. Application of VIs allows identifying these changes of vegetation state, which aren’t visible at the visual observation. In order to select these VIs we have conducted the laboratory experiment with the cultivation of durum spring wheat variety “Diana” at the different higher seeding rates to provide by this way, first, the fast 100% plant cover, and, second, establish the stressed conditions for the plants. During this experiment the gasometric and spectrometric observation of the constantly growing phytomass carried out, when the measurements of intensity of СО2 absorption and release by the plants in process of photosynthesis/respiration and spectrometric ones have been performed practically simultaneously that allowed further calculation of VIs. Three vegetation indices such as MTCI, Clrededge and Clgreen were identified as the most sensitive to the changes of vegetation state and, thus, they can serve as the proper spectral indicators of vegetation condition, which are extremely necessary to develop the technique of estimating the variables of carbon cycle in the different ecosystems using satellite data and field measurements, improve of assessment for the climatic effects at the regional and local levels and estimating the IAEG-SDGs indicators of sustainable development.

The problem of transformation of lakes of Polissya region under the influence of global climate changes, and also anthropogenic factors in basin systems (drainage reclamation, agrarian nature use and chemicalization of watershed soils, growth of residential lands, uncontrolled extraction of water from underground horizons, unauthorized extraction of amber, etc.), which lead to the reduction of water bodies, acceleration of sedimentation, eutrophication and, as a consequence, transformation into lake-swamp complexes are substantiated. The main stages of field researches, features of decryption of lakes by space images, the essence of the concept of «paleo-lake» and natural aquatic complex (NAC) have been revealed. An algorithm scheme of research of natural-anthropogenic transformations of the lake with the use of remote sensing and GIS technologies has been proposed. With the help of the Google Earth resource the estimation of changes of parameters of the areas of model lakes of Volyn Polissya is carried out, and on an example of Bilske lake the changes in the area of the reservoir from the «paleo-lake» to the modern boundaries of the shoreline and water area have been analyzed. The hydrological and limnological parameters of Bilske lake have been analyzed. Based on the analysis of high-resolution space images (Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, Landsat) in different spectral channels, the ecological condition of the lake has been assessed by the vegetation index (NDVI), the dynamics of the thermal regime of the lake surface has been analyzed and the reservoir temperature changed during 2017-2021. A digital landscape map of Bilske lake, with the separation of aqua facies has been presented and landscape-assessment of NAC has been done. In the course of the research, the tendency to increase of temperatures of a reservoir has been established. The proposed approach using remote sensing tools to assess the ecological status of lakes is effective in methodological and practical terms. Along with instrumental and laboratory methods, it is expedient to use it for the creation of ecological passports of reservoirs, monitoring of lakes of reserved and recreational territories, long-term forecasting of development of aquatic complexes in the conditions of natural and anthropogenic transformations.

The article highlights the possibilities of using the technologies of remote sensing of the Earth (RSE) and geographic information systems (GIS) for monitoring studies of pollution factors of the environment within the municipal solid waste (MSW) dumps and landfill areas as well when the assessing their impact on the landscape components. The main purpose of the investigation is to formulate the general principles of creation and to determine the main components of the information system of geomonitoring of areas of impact of the MSW disposal landfills as part of an information-analytical system of analysis of the risk of emergencies of man-made and natural character, aimed at ensuring sustainable regional development of Ukraine. During the research of the Kyiv’s Oblast territory, space imagery from IRS satellites was used. For detailed exploration of the individual sites where the largest landfill sites and areas are located (northern Obukhiv district, Bila Tserkva district, Trypillya district), were also used images from the Quick Bird satellite. The improvement of the characteristics of the Kyiv’s landfill No 5 at the north of the Obukhiv district used the unmanned aerial vehicle data. Some of the factors that have a negative environmental impact on the environment and the population of MSW disposal landfills and the possibilities of monitoring them by RSE methods are considered in the article. As a result it has been shown that the RSE data integrated to GIS allow to obtain accurate information about the current state of the studied area quickly, to conduct timely monitoring and forecasting the development of negative phenomena and processes, which significantly increases the level of environmental safety at national, regional and site levels and provides an opportunity to develop a set of measures to reduce the environmental impact of MSW disposal landfills. The situation with waste, especially domestic waste in Kyiv’s Oblast, is getting worse every year. As a result, there is an increasing threat to human and environmental health. The obtained results show that one of the reasons for the current situation is the selection of unfavorable sites for the allocation of waste disposal landfills.

The problem of priorities establishing for expert interval-valued estimations when experts hold the opposite opinion is considered. The whole group of expert estimates is subdivided into subgroups, first of which provides the probability of the deposit presence, and the second one provides the probability of deposit missing. A ranking methodology for interval expert estimates of the territories’ hydrocarbon potential, consisting of two stages, is proposed. At the first stage, an estimates formed by two subgroups of experts are separately aggregated by optimization. Two aggregated interval estimates of the corresponding hypotheses probabilities are obtained as a result. In the second stage, a priority estimate is determined by comparing the results. A numerical example of the test territory evaluating for a hydrocarbon deposit presence was calculated. Interval-valued estimates by five experts were used in this example for the hypotheses of hydrocarbons presence/missing. Various metrics of the distance between interval values were used to calculate persistent minima of aggregating estimates. The results of the calculations indicate the hypothesis’ priority of a hydrocarbon deposit presence within the study area. The proposed methodology for ranking interval-valued expert estimates can be used in the “Geologist’s Computer Assistant” software system.The problem of priorities establishing for expert interval-valued estimations when experts hold the opposite opinion is considered.

The article deals with the method of classification of real data using the apparatus of fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic as a flexible tool for learning and recognition of natural objects on the example of oil and gas prospecting sections of the Dnieper-Donetsk basin. The real data in this approach are the values for the membership function that are obtained not through subjective expert judgment but from objective measurements. It is suggested to approximate the fuzzy set membership functions by using training data to use the approximation results obtained during the learning phase at the stage of identifying unknown objects. In the first step of learning, each traditional future of a learning data is matched by a primary traditional one-dimensional set whose membership function can only take values from a binary set — 0 if the learning object does not belong to the set, and 1 if the learning object belongs to the set. In the second step, the primary set is mapped to a fuzzy set, and the parameters of the membership function of this fuzzy set are determined by approximating this function of the traditional set membership. In the third step, the set of one-dimensional fuzzy sets that correspond to a single feature of the object is mapped to a fuzzy set that corresponds to all the features of the object in the training data set. Such a set is the intersection of fuzzy sets of individual features, to which the blurring and concentration operations of fuzzy set theory are applied in the last step. Thus, the function of belonging to a fuzzy set of a class is the operation of choosing a minimum value from the functions of fuzzy sets of individual features of objects, which are reduced to a certain degree corresponding to the operation of blurring or concentration. The task of assigning the object under study to a particular class is to compare the values of the membership functions of a multidimensional fuzzy set and to select the class in which the membership function takes the highest value. Additionally, after the training stage, it is possible to determine the degree of significance of an object future, which is an indistinctness index, to remove non-essential data (object futures) from the analysis.

Some previous studies showed that ecosystem biogeochemical processes were significantly affected by variation of the temperature regime. For example, experimental warming led to photosynthesis intensification and increasing of the vegetation productivity and biomass accumulation (Elmendorf et al. 2012; Lin et al. 2010; Lu et al. 2013; Wu et al. 2011). However, such association is not so clear under natural conditions (Mohamed et al. 2004). This study provides the results of a pixel-wise trend analysis which has been performed to identify regional trends in the vegetation productivity for the European territory over the last 14 years. The moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) time series data have been used to analyse net primary productivity (NPP) trends. The changes in terrestrial carbon stock caused by the dynamics of vegetation productivity have been estimated. The negative trend of the vegetation productivity was found for Eastern Europe. It was found that the increased summer temperatures negatively influenced the vegetation productivity in Western, Eastern and Southern Europe. The findings suggest that the mean summer temperatures have reached a threshold in Southern Europe and its subsequent growth would lead to reducing the vegetation productivity. At the same time in the northern regions, the threshold has not been reached; therefore, summer temperatures increasing will stimulate the growth of vegetation. Analysing the changes for different types of vegetation it can be noted that the carbon stocks of agricultural land have been decreased by 2.67 Mt C, while forests and savannah areas have positive dynamic (the carbon stocks have been increased by 1.64 and 3.7 Mt C respectively). Summary results for the whole European region indicate a positive trend (2.67 Mt) of C stock in the terrestrial vegetation.
已有研究表明,温度变化对生态系统生物地球化学过程有显著影响。例如,实验变暖导致光合作用增强,植被生产力和生物量积累增加(Elmendorf et al. 2012;Lin et al. 2010;Lu et al. 2013;Wu et al. 2011)。然而,在自然条件下,这种关联并不那么明显(Mohamed et al. 2004)。本研究提供了像素趋势分析的结果,该分析已被执行,以确定过去14年来欧洲领土植被生产力的区域趋势。利用中分辨率成像光谱辐射计(MODIS)时间序列数据分析了净初级生产力(NPP)趋势。估算了植被生产力动态引起的陆地碳储量变化。东欧地区植被生产力呈负变化趋势。结果表明,夏季气温升高对西欧、东欧和南欧的植被生产力有负面影响。研究结果表明,在南欧,夏季平均温度已经达到了一个阈值,其随后的增长将导致植被生产力的降低。与此同时,在北方地区,还没有达到这个门槛;因此,夏季气温的升高会刺激植被的生长。分析不同植被类型的变化可以发现,农用地碳储量减少了267 Mt C,而森林和稀树草原则呈现正动态(碳储量分别增加了1.64和370 Mt C)。整个欧洲地区陆地植被碳储量呈上升趋势(2.67 Mt)。
