Abstract

The paper highlights the research results of ecological and economic role of lands under forest shelterbelts within agricultural landscapes. The achieved results have enabled to state that such plantations are the major focus towards agriculture enhancement. It has been ascertained the effective melioration impact of forest shelterbelts on the adjacent areas within different climatic regions and that the field-protective forestation has a common positive trend. On the other hand, some differences in observation results of forest shelterbelts research can take place due to unequal geographical and climatic conditions.
