The possibilities of remote sensing monitoring of Jun`Jaga coal open pit effects to tundra environment (Vorcuta region)

Abstract – The RS methods were involved for estimation of Jun`Jaga pit influence to terrestrial and water ecosystems. For investigation of area the vegetation map (1: 25 000) was prepared with using of NDVI those can select different vegetation communities (five classes) and disturbed area (mechanic...

Description
Summary:Abstract – The RS methods were involved for estimation of Jun`Jaga pit influence to terrestrial and water ecosystems. For investigation of area the vegetation map (1: 25 000) was prepared with using of NDVI those can select different vegetation communities (five classes) and disturbed area (mechanical effects). Vegetation classes helped to separate the area to some zones of sensitivities and prediction the stability of area landscapes to anthropogenic influence. The differences of snow melt between polluted and natural districts were indicating stable pollution level halo around colliery (polygons forms) and roads (lines forms). The form of halo was related with intensively and directions of winds in could season and relief form of area.
