Landsat-8 thermal infrared images and land surface data were used for our analysis. The obtained thermal characteristics were compared with vegetation indices calculated for the period of active vegetation growth along several surface transects. Surface observations included geobotanical descriptions, phytomass estimations, measurements of thickness of the seasonally thawed layer, and visual identification of different effects of permafrost on the components of the taiga landscape. The obtained surface temperatures differed depending of forest type due to their bio-productivity characteristics on sporadic permafrost as the most important factor of forest growth conditions within the southern part of the cryolithozone. The differences in the thermal characteristics are due to varying degree of permafrost influence on boreal vegetation growth. The surface temperature was used as indicator to quantify the relationship between the latent heat and the sensible heat fluxes for the corresponding landscape. The areas with higher surface temperatures were usually characterized by higher sensible heat flux due to lower evapotranspiration of the plant canopy. The forest types with the highest evapotranspiration had usually the lowest surface temperatures. Such forest types are also the most fire-resistant systems, and have the highest water-discharge potential. This is characteristic of the forests under the lowest impact of permafrost (thawed soils or the presence of the permafrost layer at lower depths). Such types of forests have higher ecosystem service potential (e.g., fire-resistance and stock formation).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15020291","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,4]],"date-time":"2023-01-04T03:27:44Z","timestamp":1672802864000},"page":"291","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Detection of Geocryological Conditions in Boreal Landscapes of the Southern Cryolithozone Using Thermal Infrared Remote Sensing Data: A Case Study of the Northern Part of the Yenisei Ridge"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7242-7172","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexey","family":"Medvedkov","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Geography of the World and Geoecology, Faculty of Geography, Lomonosov Moscow State University, GSP-1, Leninskie Gory 1, 119991 Moscow, Russia"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Vysotskaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Geography of the World and Geoecology, Faculty of Geography, Lomonosov Moscow State University, GSP-1, Leninskie Gory 1, 119991 Moscow, Russia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6144-5826","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexander","family":"Olchev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Meteorology and Climatology, Faculty of Geography, Lomonosov Moscow State University, GSP-1, Leninskie Gory 1, 119991 Moscow, Russia"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"62","article-title":"Organization of the biosphere and sustainable development","volume":"37","author":"Gorshkov","year":"2015","journal-title":"Zhizn\u2019 Zemli"},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"Georgiadi, A.G., and Zolotokrylin, A.N.
