Poplar efficiency in shelterbelts at some localities in Vojvodina

The effect of poplar shelterbelts on the change of wind velocity has been studied. The measurements were performed by standard method at several points in front of the belt, behind and within the belt. Based on the study values, it can be concluded that poplar is efficient in reducing wind velocity, as the species for shelterbelts which are established for wind breaking. Their effect is significant at the distances up to 100 m behind the belt, which is significant when networks of shelterbelts are established to control wind erosion in the large deforested lowland areas which are mainly used for agricultural production..
