True, the shrubs and trees in windbreaks protect soil from erosion by rain water.
Explanation:
The windbreaks that occurs in fields are linear plantings of trees/shrubs designed to reducewind speed in open fields. It prevents soil erosion and protects properties from wind damage. Windbreaks are typically planted in multiple rows perpendicular to prevailing winds.
On the downwind side of a well-established windbreak, wind is generally slowed for a distance of 10 times the height of the trees. Old windbreaks may need renovation to function properly, including removal and replacement of selected trees/shrubs in the soil.
