What is another word for shelterbelt?
Pronunciation: [ʃˈɛltəbˌɛlt] (IPA) 
Shelterbelt refers to a type of planting or a line of trees that protects exposed areas from wind and erosion. Some synonyms for this term include windbreak, hedgerow, or screen. Windbreaks are typically composed of rows of trees and shrubs that are strategically placed to protect crops, reduce soil erosion, and improve animal habitat. A hedgerow, on the other hand, is a line of shrubs or bushes that are grown closely together to form a natural barrier for protection from the wind. A screen, meanwhile, may refer to a row or wall of trees, shrubs, or fences that provide privacy and protection from unwanted elements.
