ABSTRACT: The results of monitoring the state of soil and vegetation in the river basins of the European part of the Russian Federation are shown, with the use of soil-production of potential in combination with the vegetation index (NDVI). Assessment of the 12 major river basins showed that its highest values were characteristic of ecosystems in the basins of the Dnepr, the Kuban and the Volga rivers, but in the latter case this indicator is significant, mainly due to the basin of the Oka River. The most significant stock of phytomass is concentrated in the basins of the Neva and the Oka rivers. Analysis of the dynamics of NDVI (MODIS) for small basins of the Klyazma River for the period between 2000 and 2014 made it possible to identify a group of basins characterized by stability of this indicator and its high values.

KEYWORDS: Soils and vegetation cover; watersheds; vegetation index; reserve of phytomass
