This paper presents the results of forest stand disturbance estimation in the forest-steppe zone in the Central Black Earth The paper presents the results of forest stand disturbance estimation in the forest-steppe zone in the Central Chernozem Region of Russia during the period 2000–2018. GIS-mapping and spatial analysis of disturbed forest areas have been performed in automated mode using multi-temporal Landsat data. Evaluation of forest disturbance was carried out both for deciduous, coniferous and mixed forests. Using data from more than 3000 forest areas it was found that the area of disturbed forests is significantly less than the total forest area. The share of disturbed forests in the western part of the region is much smaller than in its eastern part. The share of disturbed areas in deciduous forests is small. The largest share of disturbed forest ecosystems is in coniferous forest. The largest share of disturbed forest ecosystems amounting to 18.4 % is characteristic of coniferous forests. The deciduous forests are characterized by a small average area of disturbed forest plot unlike coniferous forest. The largest area of disturbed forest ecosystems is attributed to coniferous and mixed forests. of Russia during the period 2001-2018.
