The results of the succession processes analysis on abandoned arable lands of the forest-steppe zone of the Central Russian Upland are presented. Using data from 170 objects located in the Belgorod region, the features and types of changes in the vegetation cover of abandoned arable lands are studied. The results are obtained using multi-temporal satellite data of 2000–2018 and ground truth measurements. The peculiarities of the NDVI vegetation index long-term dynamics is studied for the main types of formation of plant communities on the abandoned arable lands. Grassy fallows with deciduous trees are most common in the region. The abandoned arable lands with coniferous species are confined to the places of coniferous forests. The increase of tree communities crown closure on the fallows proceeds more intensively for abandoned arable lands that are overgrown with conifers than deciduous species. A statistically significant increasing NDVI trend is established for abandoned arable lands with deciduous, coniferous and mixed stands. The relationship between the cover of fallows with the crowns of tree stands and NDVI is studied. Coniferous fallows are characterized by different NDVI values for various gradations of crowns projective cover.
