Abstract: Windbreaks were originally promoted across the U.S. Great Plains to reduce wind erosion. A review paper published nearly 30Â years ago showed yield increases for a variety of crops associated with windbreaks. However, with the widespread… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.agrformet.2021.108552
Abstract: Abstract The net change in crop yield imparted by tree windbreaks is the difference between the gain in the sheltered zone and loss in the competition zone. Previous modeling studies have simulated either positive or… read more here.
