Definition from
Wikipedia:
A windbreak or shelterbelt is a plantation usually made up of one or more rows of trees or shrubs planted in such a manner as to provide shelter from the wind and to protect soil from erosion.
Example sentences:
The establishment of a field shelterbelt requires a considerable amount of field preparation; valuable farmland has to be withdrawn from production of crops and the immediate strip of land alongside the shelterbelt loses its productivity. (Government of Alberta )
The innermost rows of a shelterbelt should consist of tall, deciduous trees. Use the smaller trees and shrubs on the leeward side. Shrubs planted in the outermost rows will catch drifting snow. The resulting vertical structure of the shelterbelt directs wind over the area to be protected. (Ohio State University)
Connecting shelterbelts with existing or planned perennial vegetation, such as woodlots and woody draws (tree/shrub establishment) or riparian areas (riparian forest buffer), provides additional benefits for wildlife and aesthetics. (Natural Resources Conservation Service)

Definition from
soco.jrc.ec.europa.eu:
Οι ανεμοφράκτες αποτελούνται από σειρές δέντρων ή χαμόδεντρων. Βοηθούν κυρίως στη μείωση της ταχύτητας του ανέμου και της αιολικής διάβρωσης, και συνεπώς προστατεύουν τις νέες καλλιέργειες και ελέγχουν τη μετατόπιση χιονιού και εδάφους.
Example sentences:
Οι καλύτεροι ανεμοφράκτες από την άποψη του περιορισμού της ταχύτητας του ανέμου είναι στοιχεία, των οποίων το πορώδες κυμαίνεται μεταξύ 25% και 60%. (evonymos)
