The method of soil conservation in the coastal and dry regions where rows of trees are planted to check the wind movement to protect soil cover is called?
Shelter belts
Shelter belts (also called windbreaks) are rows of trees and shrubs planted across the direction of prevailing winds in coastal and arid regions. They reduce wind velocity near the ground, preventing the wind from lifting and carrying away loose topsoil.
Mulching conserves soil moisture, contour barriers and rock dams check water erosion on slopes — none of these target wind erosion. Hence shelter belts is correct.
