The article analyzes the parameters of vegetation cover natural dynamics within the forest-steppe zone in the territory of the Central Chernozem Region. Landscapes experiencing minimal anthropogenic impact were studied, such as small-dry-valleys and abandoned agricultural lands. During the mid-1980s to the end of the 2010s, an increase of differences in forest cover of small-dry-valleys was established between the northern and southern parts of the forest-steppe. The rate of forest cover increase differs significantly between forest-steppe physical-geographical subzones. The ratio of dry-valleys forest cover between the northern and southern forest-steppe increased from 1.6 in the mid-1980s to 2.5 in the late 2010s. There were statistically significant differences in dry-valleys forest cover between the forest-steppe subzones in 2018, which did not exist in the mid-1980s. The modern forest cover of abandoned agricultural lands in the northern forest-steppe is 7 times higher than this indicator in the southern forest-steppe. Abandoned lands located in various forest-steppe subzones differ significantly in the parameters of NDVI long-term dynamics in 2000–2018. In the northern forest-steppe, a positive statistically significant dynamics of the vegetation index was established. In the typical forest-steppe, NDVI dynamics is present, but it is less pronounced. In the southern forest-steppe, no statistically significant dynamics of the vegetation index was revealed. The established trends serve as indicators of increasing intrazonal differences in the natural vegetation cover within the forest-steppe zone.
Keywords: forest-steppe zone, small-dry-valleys, abandoned lands, intrazonal differences, reforestation, spectral response, remote sensing
