Here we present a retrospective of the windthrows in forests of southern belt of taiga (Kostroma Oblast and the neighboring lands). Main traits of the massive windthrows are calculated. Dominant spatial forms of windthrows are identified. Annual rates of the forest cover disturbance from clearcuts, forest fires and windblows are compared. Topographical effect on spatial distribution of compartments of the massive windthrows is studied.
- Acknowledgements: This study was supported by the Russian Foundation of basic Research and Russian Geographic Society (project no. 13-05-41478 RGO_a).
- Keywords: massive windthrow, spatial structure of disturbance, forest cover, topography, remote sensing data, satellite imagery.
