Abstract
We developed and implemented a method for determining long-term changes to the timberline. Sharing multitemporal satellite images Landsat, NDVI, digital elevation model ASTER GDEM 2 allows to quantify the vertical and horizontal displacement of timberline associated with the possible consequences of global warming. On the basis of the proposed method obtained current data on the dynamics of changes to the timberline on the Baikal mountains over the past half-century.
