Abstract :
The article presents the results of space monitoring of Kazakhstan arid and semi-arid areas´ vegetation on the basis of time series of NDVI and integrated vegetation indices. It is observed the trend of integral indices decreasing for the period of 2002-2013. This fact characterizes the increase of stress influence of weather conditions on vegetation in Kazakhstan during last decade.
