The proposed approach allows us to evaluate the response of forest stands to local weather changes and resistance to insect attack without using data from weather stations, sometimes located far from experimental forest areas. All raw data were obtained during the season using remote sensing data (MODIS / AQUA). The ability to pre-determine decrease and loss of forest stands resistance to possible insect attacks can be extremely important for solving the tasks of forest-entomological monitoring and calculating the risk of forest insect’s outbreaks.
