Космические технологии в оценке экологии нарушенных земель на месторождениях алмазов в России

The results of processing satellite images of mining landscapes formed during the extraction and processing of diamond-containing ore are presented, the coefficients of self-restoration of vegetation cover are determined. It has been established that in the conditions of a sharply continental climate, transitioning to a subpolar one, at intensive rates of developing diamond deposits by an open method, all types of vegetation cover are slowly forming, which does not meet the requirements for restoring the ecological balance when conducting business with diamond mining enterprises.
