The article presents the results of a study of the dynamics of woody vegetation in the territory of Greater Moscow over twenty years (2000–2020). Using Landsat ARD remote sensing data and geoinformation technologies, a series of maps of growth and loss of woody vegetation were constructed based on reflectivity values, brightness temperature, and vegetation indices. When calculating the areas of forests and fields, it was found that over 20 years their area has slightly increased overall. It was
