Popis: This paper presents results of an analysis of damage to cedars growing on the slopes of the Tsagan-Daban Ridge (the central part of the Selenga middle mountain) caused by storm winds in 2018-2019. Based on a study of Landsat satellite data, the main areas of windthrows are determined, and their morphometric characteristics are calculated. The damaged areas of cedar forests on key sites in the Kunaleyka River basin are surveyed with UAV. The causes and consequences of windthrows in the Tsagan-Daban Ridge taiga are identified.
