Abstract:
This study develops a modern monitoring methodology based on the use of satellite data to assess the ecological condition of perennial tree plantations in the Quva district of the Fergana region. The research analyzes average NDVI indicators from 2014 to 2023 using satellite imagery from Sentinel-2 and Landsat 8, revealing a consistent decline in forest health over the years. Remote sensing technologies, particularly the Google Earth Engine platform, were employed to generate vegetation indices, which facilitated the visualization and assessment of zonal maps, degraded areas, and their dynamics. The study provides practical recommendations for environmental management, forest planning, and nature conservation. This research underscores the necessity of integrating digital technologies into the monitoring of perennial forests in the context of Uzbekistan and serves as a significant scientific and practical tool for ensuring ecological security.
