This study evaluated the influence of field-protective agroforestry plantings on microclimatic parameters, population density, vitality structure, morphometric characteristics, and productivity of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) agrocenoses in agricultural landscapes of Ukraine. Field observations, microclimatic measurements, morphometric analysis, vitality assessment, and productivity evaluation were conducted at different distances from shelterbelts and compared with open agricultural fields lacking agroforestry elements. The results demonstrated that agroforestry systems substantially modified environmental conditions by reducing temperature extremes, increasing relative air humidity, and promoting more stable snow cover distribution. The strongest ecological stabilization effect was observed within the 50-150 m zone from agroforestry plantings. Winter wheat populations .. Read More»
