English term or phrase: shelterbelt
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 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establishment of a field shelterbelt requires a considerable amount of field preparation; valuable farmland has to be withdrawn from production of crops and the immediate strip of land alongside the shelterbelt loses its productivity.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
  • 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

  • 十勝平野といえば「防風林」と言われるくらい、畑を強風被害から守るための防風林は、今や北海道の農村景観の代名詞ともなっています。  現在では、防風林は単に農作物を気象の害から守るだけでなく、農村の生活環境や景観を維持するうえでも重要となっています。  この防風林も農業経営の大規模・多角化、道路の整備等により年々減少傾向にあります。 - 防風林効果調査報告書(林務�
