Agricultural yields increased by shelterbelts in Soviet Russia Shelterbelts in the Ukraine and the Central Asian Republics of the USSR are recorded to have increased yields from croplands at high rates. While, e.g., cotton produce rose from 33 to 63% in Uzbekistan, wheat and barley outputs from irrigated fields in the Krimea were much higher, and corn production could even be improved by up to 7 t per hectare on lands protected by a network of tree plantations. Poplars, oaks, planes, and black walnut with a height of 20 m have proved to be best suited to protect fields of up to a width of 800 m effectively. Wood sales from the shelterbelts usually compensate for crop income losses which result from the allocation of land to the trees.
