- Definition(s)
- 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. Wikipedia
- Example sentence(s)
- 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establishment of a field shelterbelt requires a considerable amount of field preparation; valuable farmland has to be withdrawn from production of crops and the immediate strip of land alongside the shelterbelt loses its productivity.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
by - 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
by - 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

- Perdea forestiera de protectie
- Additional fields of expertise
- Definition(s)
- "Perdelele forestiere de protecţie sunt formaţiuni cu vegetaţie forestieră, înfiinţate prin plantare, cu lungimi diferite şi lăţimi relativ înguste, amplasate la o anumită distanţă unele faţă de altele sau faţă de un obiectiv, cu scopul de a-l proteja împotriva efectelor unor factori dăunători."
Parlamentul Romaniei Legea nr. 289/2002 - by Simina Claudia Irimie
- Example sentence(s)
- "Potrivit specialistilor, singura solutie este realizarea unui complex de masuri, la scara larga si dupa un program bine stabilit, care sa includa si instalarea retelelor de perdele forestiere de protectie a campului impotriva vantului.
Avantajele acestora pentru dezvoltarea culturilor agricole sunt multiple. Imbunatatirea conditiilor microclimatice de crestere si dezvoltare a culturilor pana la o distanta egala cu de 20-30 de ori inaltimea perdelei, in partea adapostita si de 5-12 ori, in partea expusa, ar fi unul dintre ele. Asta, datorita in special, modificarii radiatiilor solare, micsorarii amplitudinii diurne a temperaturii aerului cu 1- 4 grade Celsius si cu 1-2 grade, a temperaturilor anuale, reducerii vitezei vantului cu 31-55% in partea adapostita si cu 10-15%, in cea expusa etc.
De asemenea, mai putem adauga: reducerea scurgerilor pe versanti si a eroziunii, de 4-5 ori; reducerea pana la oprire a deflatiei pe nisipuri si soluri usoare; micsorarea adancimii si duratei inghetului; micsorarea evapotranspiratiei etc."

- Definition(s)
- Windschutzstreifen werden auch speziell angepflanzte Hecken zur Verminderung von Winderosion genannt. Es sind meistens Hochhecken oder Baumhecken oder auch nur Baumreihen. Als weitere Heckentyp kommen die naturfernen Zierhecken hinzu. Own research - by Stefan Blasel
- Example sentence(s)
- Was sind Windschutzstreifen ?
Windschutzstreifen sind Pflanzungen von Bäumen und Sträuchern die meist mehrreihig hintereinander stehen. Das können bereits vorhandene Hecken sein, oft werden aber auch neue Windschutzstreifen angelegt.
Diese dienen im wesentlichen zur Reduzierung der Windgeschwindigkeit in den im Lee liegenden Flächen - http://www.uni-koblenz.de
