**Windbreak Interpretations**

Windbreaks protect livestock, buildings, and yards from wind and snow.
They also protect fruit trees and gardens, and they furnish habitat for
wildlife. Several rows of low-growing and high-growing broadleaf and
coniferous trees and shrubs provide the most protection.

**Field** windbreaks are narrow plantings made at right angles to the
prevailing wind and at specific intervals across the field. The interval
depends on the erodibility of the soil. Field windbreaks protect
cropland and crops from wind, help to keep snow on the fields, and
provide food and cover for wildlife.

Windbreaks are often planted on land that did not grow trees originally.
Knowledge of how trees perform on such land can be gained only by
observing and recording their performance where trees have been planted
and survived. The problem is compounded by the fact that many favorite
windbreak species are not indigenous to the areas in which they are
planted.

Each tree or shrub species has certain climatic and physiographic
limits. Within these parameters a tree or shrub may be well or poorly
suited because of soil characteristics. Each tree or shrub also has
definable potentials of height growth depending on the factors just
mentioned. Accurate definitions of potential heights are necessary for
proper windbreak planning and design.

**Information** in this subsection, which includes windbreak suitability
groups and a windbreak and environmental plantings table, can be used as
a guide in planning windbreaks and screens.
