Overall change
+295 hamore forest than in 2000

Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Kramatorsk grew from about 3,970 hectares to 4,260 hectares, a net gain of about 295 hectares (+7.4%). New forest grew on about 361 hectares, while 65 hectares were lost.

These 2000 and 2020 maps, from the University of Maryland, count any land with trees taller than 5 m as forest, including plantations and orchards. Forest that was cut or burned and had grown back by 2020 counts in both years, so the loss here is smaller than the yearly figures.

These figures cover everything within 10 km of the city center, a wider area than the report above, because forest is usually lost at a city's edges.

At AQI 77 (Moderate): fine for most people; unusually sensitive people should take long or hard exercise easier. Windows: fine to open; close them if you are sensitive to pollution. Masks: not needed for most people. The reading changes through the day, so check again before a long run or ride.

What has the air quality in Kramatorsk been like this week?

Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Kramatorsk's daily AQI at 36 on average, from 16 on Nov 5 to an hourly peak of 77 on Nov 10. No day averaged above 100, the level where the air turns unhealthy for sensitive groups.

How much forest has the area around Kramatorsk lost since 2001?

Since 2001, the area within 10 km of Kramatorsk has lost about 44 hectares of forest (about 62 football pitches): 2.1% of the forest it had in 2000.

What is the tree count in Kramatorsk?

Kramatorsk has an estimated 160,993 trees across the 12.53 km² of land measured — 51.4% tree cover, already past the 30% tree-cover target set for this area.

How many more trees does Kramatorsk need?

Kramatorsk has already reached its tree-cover target, so no additional trees are needed to close the gap.

How are Kramatorsk's air quality and tree cover measured?

Air quality comes from ground monitoring stations via OpenAQ where one reports nearby, and otherwise, as here, from the Open-Meteo / CAMS model, which may differ from street-level monitors. Tree cover is measured from Sentinel-2 L2A (ESA Copernicus) via Earth Search satellite imagery at 10 m detail across a 2 km radius around Kramatorsk; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
