Abstract
In this paper, the occurrence, frequency, and character of stormy winds in clonal poplar plantations in Vojvodina Province were studied in the period from 2016-2021 years. 10 large gusts of stormy winds were recorded, which caused enormous damage to poplar plantations. Depending on the strength of the wind, the age of the plants, and the state of soil moisture, the damage was reflected in windbreaks, windbreaks, and wind bending of trees.
