Abstract

The article focuses on developing a multilevel hierarchical watershed management approach to assess and organize natural resource data for regional ecosystem management in southern Krasnoyarsk Krai, Eastern Siberia. Using spatial analysis, satellite data (including Terra MODIS and NASA Global Precipitation Measurement), and the MERIT Hydro digital elevation model, the study delineated four levels of watersheds and compiled a comprehensive database of natural characteristics such as terrain morphology, temperature, precipitation, vegetation indices, and soil properties. This integrated geospatial database enables detailed environmental assessment and supports mathematical and statistical modeling to inform ecosystem management and land-use planning. The methodology aims to assist public and private decision-makers in improving ecosystem management and promoting sustainable socioeconomic development in the region.
