We studied the Landsat data using possibilities for stem volume assessment of such species as larch and aspen. Analysis of relationship was based on correlation definition between forest specie reflectance in a red band of the winter imagery and its stem volume, derived from forest inventory data. The level of relationship between those parameters is 0.83 and 0.79 for larch and aspen, accordingly
Keywords: forests stem volume, remote sensing, forestry
