Abstract
The issue of creating various land cover maps from satellite imagery is very important. The results of the synthesis of geobotanical and cartographic materials obtained in the south-west of Yakutia during the period from 2005 to the present time are presented. The vegetation cover of the area under investigation is formed under the conditions of better heat supply with a greater amount of precipitation and a decreased continental climate. The forests in the region are characterized by a high mosaic of vegetation types associated with various manifestations of the landscape. To correctly combine the types of forest vegetation identified as a result of field studies and compare them with the results of satellite imagery analysis, single criteria have been identified that reflect the common origin, composition and location of the new sections. For a better digital classification of forest areas, a ready-made digital terrain and the use of their derivatives were required: slope maps, exposure. The relief conditions have a decisive influence on the development of forest communities, determining their appearance and typological position. It was determined that neither a visual definition nor the use of specialized vegetative indices makes it possible to determine forest vegetation with high accuracy up to forest types. The maximum unit for deciphering forest vegetation from satellite images is the group of types and formations of forests, which makes the correct selection of generalized plant complexes on cartographic products relevant.
