The possibility of using vegetation indices to assess the dynamics of indigenous vegetation regeneration was analyzed using the example of a large massif of dark coniferous (spruce-fir) forests in the Vaninsky and Sovetsko – Gavansky districts of the Khabarovsk Territory with a total area of 34 ths ha and a 43 year history of forestry development. A map of the current state of vegetation and the history of forestry growth in the study region was developed by processing of a long-term series (1980–2023) of Landsat-3…-9 satellite data, expedition materials, and aerial photography data from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The calculated vegetation indices NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), EVI (Enhanced Vegetation Index), SWVI (Shortwave Vegetation Index), and BSFI (Bi-Seasonal Forest Index) are evaluated for their applicability in assessing post-harvesting dynamics in dark coniferous forests. The results show that the NDVI and EVI indices are unsuitable for these purposes, which is related to both the specificity of the object of investigation and the spatial resolution of the obtained materials. Although the BSFI and SWVI indices better reflect the dynamics of vegetation cover, they have disadvantages associated with large value scatter due to the specifics of the dark coniferous forests regeneration, which hampers data interpretation.
