Popis: The rate and specifics of formation of unique hydromorphic landscapes in the upper parts of three Dnieper reservoirs are assessed based on the analysis of space photographs Landsat-5 and Landsat-7 over a many-year period, as well as topographic and electronic maps. Their area in the examined water bodies was found to exceed 25 thousand ha, and that in the entire chain of reservoirs, to exceed 35 thousand ha. The mean annual rate of increase in the area of hydromorphic landscapes varies from 66 in the Kanevskoe Reservoir to 351 ha/year in the Kievskoe Reservoir; the processes vegetation growth were found to significantly accelerate in the recent years.
