Abstract 

The study presents a preliminary assessment of anthropogenic impact on a part of the object of the Emerald Network "Samarskyi Lis - UA0000212" (Ukraine) as a result of coal mining with the use of geoinformation systems. A complex of standardized field, chamber, laboratory and statistical research methods was used during the study of aquatic and terrestrial vegetation. In order to compare the data of visual observations and obtain representative and reliable research results, the object was additionally monitored using methods of remote sensing of the Earth. A satellite observation tool is used, which allows searching, processing and obtaining information from satellite data according to various indices: WRI, NDWI, MNDWI, NDSI. It has been established that long-term inundation and flooding of landscapes leads to a change in the species composition of the tree stand, the death of the understory and grass layer, and the complete destruction of the existing plant and animal communities. Research results are an important element of comparing the design indicators of the impact of planned activities with the real anthropogenic load on ecosystems in order to ensure the appropriate level of requirements of environmental and nature protection legislation. An important element of monitoring is the substantiation of the further need for protection and expansion of protected areas and water areas, restoration and protection of ecosystems of natural landscapes of the Samara forests. Consolidation of cadastral boundaries and further monitoring of such territories using remote sensing geoinformation systems are priority areas of development in the conditions of martial law and limited free access to such objects and insufficient use of direct geodetic and hydrogeological measurements.
