Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shelterbelt Influence on Great Plains Field Environment and Crops: A Guide for Determining Design and Orientation Shelterbelts reduce wind velocity, wind erosion, and mechanical damage to plants. They also alter factors of the microclimate, such as humidity and temperature, in the protected zone. Hence mois ture is conserved by reducing evaporation and transpiration, and extra moisture may be trapped in snowdrifts. As a result of such changes in field environment, the favorable effect of shelterbelts on the growth and development of crop plants is registered at harvest.
