THE USE OF PROTECTIVE WINDBREAKS TO EXPLORE EFFICIENT THE LAND

Abstract

Due to irrational management and exploitation of farmland and forests there were registered in the world, increasingly intensified soil degradation processes with negative effects on production costs and land use. The territory of the Moldova is characterized by rugged relief. Absolute average altitude of Moldova surface is 147 m, maximum - 429 m and minimum - 5 m. Predominance of the slopes on the 80% of the territory creates favorable conditions for the development of erosion processes. The area of eroded soils that have lost from 20 to 70% of their original fertility is about 36%.
