Protective forest plantations (PFP) play an important role in preventing the degradation of agricultural landscapes, but due to reaching the age limit, a significant part of the PFPs is in an unsatisfactory condition. The current methods for evaluating the canopy density, which is often considered as a condition of plantings’ safety, are very laborious since they are based on expert interpretation of ultra-high resolution aerospace survey data, topographic maps, plans and field surveys using satellite geolocation devices. The article presents the ways to determine PFP density using BSFI (Bi-Seasonal Forest Index) derived from Sentinel 2 data and aerial photography materials from UAV instruments. The analysis of a dense cloud of points obtained by the UAV allowed us to identify a canopy of trees and shrubs and compare the canopy density values with the BSFI data. The BSFI values were calculated based on radiometrically normalized monthly NDVI composites for June-August and the maximum albedo of annual winter composites for the period 2019–2022. We have established a regression dependence of BSFI and density with a coefficient of determination equal to 0.86. The root-mean-square error makes 14.5 %. The use of the obtained results in practice will significantly reduce the volume of ground-based surveys of PFPs to determine their safety.
