Abstract

Wind erosion is a widespread phenomenon causing serious soil degradation. It is estimated that about 28% of the global land area suffers from this process. Global climate changes are expected to accelerate land degradation and significantly affect the intensity of wind erosion. Shelterbelts are linear multi-row planting strips of vegetation (trees or shrubs) established for numerous environmental purposes. Shelterbelts are a specific type of agroforestry system which could reduce soil degradation (soil erosion). Shelterbelts mitigate greenhouse gas through trees storing carbon (C) in their above- and below-ground biomass, wherefore they are highlighted as one of the potential ways to mitigate climate change. The purpose of this chapter is to present wind erosion as a land degradation problem, especially in line with climate changes and the present concept of vegetation establishment in the form of shelterbelts for long-term multi-functional provision of ecosystem services, in particular carbon sequestration.

风蚀、气候变化和防护林
风蚀是造成土壤严重退化的普遍现象。据估计,全球约有28%的土地面积受到这一过程的影响。预计全球气候变化将加速土地退化,并显著影响风蚀强度。防护林是为多种环境目的而建立的线性多行植被(树木或灌木)种植带。防护林是一种特殊类型的农林复合系统,可以减少土壤退化(土壤侵蚀)。防护林通过树木在其地上和地下生物量中储存碳(C)来减少温室气体,因此它们被强调为减缓气候变化的潜在方法之一。本章的目的是将风蚀作为一个土地退化问题提出,特别是根据气候变化和目前以防护林形式建立植被的概念,以提供长期多功能的生态系统服务,特别是碳封存。
