Duration of a vegetation season is the important bioclimatic characteristic which defines the productivity of ecosystems, parameters of mass and energy exchange processes between a land surface, atmosphere and other geosystem components. To calculate the phenological borders based on the satellite information it is necessary to have a notion about land processes corresponding to them. The method of the beginning and the end of vegetation season detection based on NDVI multi-annual series and meteorological data was applied. And this article deals with the comparison of the received results with real field observation data from Pechora-Ilych biosphere's reserve, situated in northern taiga of European part of Russia.
Keywords: remote sensing, NDVI, vegetation phenology
