The work is devoted to the study of the forests of the Rostov region, the determination of the spatio-temporal dynamics of the area of the territory covered with forest, using remote sensing data and geoinformation systems. The relevance of the study is due to the active anthropogenic impact on forests in the steppe zone, in a region with a forest deficit cover. The purpose of the study is to study the state of forests based on the use of modern geoinformation technologies, to assess the dynamics of forest cover in the forest fund of the Rostov region. The object of research is one of the most wooded areas of the Rostov region – the Verkhnedonsky. To study the state of the forests of the Rostov region, satellite images obtained using the Sentinel-2 spacecraft and data from the Global Forest Change application were used. Earth Engine. The efficiency of application of various methods of classification of space images has been investigated. It was revealed that despite the forest fires that affect the forests of the region due to climatic and natural factors, the area of gum massifs since 2015, in accordance with the classification carried out, has increased by about 300 hectares.
