Abstract

The first attempt to build wind protection belts on the territory of Bulgaria dates back to the mid-twentieth century. At present, plantings are mature and perform to a great extent their function. However, in order to continue their positive role on agricultural landscapes they should be improved, current planned requirements reviewed, and factors that have the greatest impact on their sustainability analyzed. Unstable climate processes are one of the key parameters that change growth conditions, as a result, setting new requirements for these living technical facilities is necessary. The purpose of this chapter is to explore the past experience and create guidelines for planning shelterbelts in accordance with climate change and other modern trends. An examination of the proposed areas examines the construction of wind protection belts, types of green system-based structures, and optimal species composition. Agricultural landscape science structures the arguments for this chapter and aids in piecing together the recommendations.
