The condition of the vegetation cover in Moscow was estimated using the NDVI vegetation index. To construct synthetic images, Landsat 5, 7, and 8 multispectral satellite images taken during the active vegetation period from 1999 to 2019 were used. Index indicators are calculated for pine forests located in protected areas, in urban parks among high-rise buildings and inside private low-rise building districts. The results showed differences in the NDVI values between these three types of birch forests, however, temporal trends show similar dynamics of changes in the physiological state of trees over the studied period.
