Abstract: 
We propose a technique for terrain biodiversity estimation which is based on medium spatial resolution hyperspectral satellite imagery. The technique makes allowances for ecological factor influence on biodiversity spatial distribution. Our results of biodiversity estimation for the Crimean peninsula south-west part by fuzzy-logic model is presented.
Keywords: biodiversity, ecological factor, satellite imagery
