wind break
Gust-blocking fence row
A windbreak is a barrier that blocks or reduces wind—typically a row of trees, a fence, or a wall positioned to shelter crops, livestock, or buildings.
Farmers plant windbreaks along field edges to prevent soil erosion and protect tender plants.
Also spelled as one word: windbreak.
