The paper reviews main R&D directions on methods for satellite monitoring of vegetation cover by the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Space Research Institute. The land cover mapping and disturbances driven changes monitoring methodology based on satellite remote sensing technique is described. The paper provides an analysis on perspectives for vegetation cover satellite monitoring developments taking into account remote sensing systems progress, nowadays open access policy to global satellite data archive, national and international priorities on environment protection, natural resources management, and global change science.
