The book Agroforestry in Irrigated Lands by A.M. Stepanov investigates the impact of narrow shelterbelts on aerodynamic, agromeoterological factors and yields of farm crops. Soil conservation and hydrological role of shelterbelts as a factor of biological drainage and general improvement of reclamation conditions of irrigated lands, prevention of salinization and waterlogging are shown. Instructions are given to design and locate shelterbelts in irrigated areas, depending on irrigation methods and technology.
