Question

which of the following is a soil conservation practice in which trees and shrubs are planted in a linear fashion that is designed to protect the soil from the effects of the wind?
crop rotation
contour plowing
wind breaks

Explanation:

• Crop rotation involves changing crops grown in a field over time to improve soil health and reduce pests, not related to wind - soil protection with linear - planted trees/shrubs.
• Contour plowing is plowing along the contours of the land to reduce soil erosion from water, not for wind protection.
• Wind breaks are rows of trees or shrubs planted in a linear way to slow down wind, reducing wind - related soil erosion and protecting the soil from wind effects.

C. wind breaks
