Abstract
The article is devoted to the model analysis of changes in the above-ground mass of trees in the forest per one tree under changes in tree height and normalised difference vegetation index. It is shown that the above-ground mass of trees on average rises with increasing NDVI index value. However, there is a certain height of trees at which the aboveground mass of trees does not change according to NDVI. A model explanation of this phenomenon, called the effect of “stabilisation of tree mass of a certain height with increasing vegetation index”, is given.
