The Great Plains Shelterbelt was a project to create windbreaks in the Great Plains states of the United States, that began in 1934. President Franklin D. Roosevelt initiated the project in response to the severe dust storms of the Dust Bowl, which resulted in significant soil erosion and drought. The United States Forest Service believed that planting trees on the perimeters of farms would reduce wind velocity and lessen evaporation of moisture from the soil. By 1942, 220 million trees had been planted, covering 18,600 square miles (48,000 km2) in a 100-mile-wide zone from Canada to the Brazos River. Even as of 2007, "the federal response to the Dust Bowl, including the Prairie States Forestry Project which planted the Great Plains Shelterbelt and creation of the Soil Erosion Service, rep

  • Le projet Shelterbelt est un projet d'afforestation à très grande échelle lancé en 1934 aux États-Unis. Cette réalisation de macroingénierie a été mise en place afin de lutter contre le Dust Bowl, une série de tempêtes de poussières, véritable catastrophe écologique qui a touché, pendant près d'une décennie, la région américaine des Grandes Plaines dans les années 1930, érodant les terres arables sur des milliers de kilomètres carrés et contribuant à la désertification de la région.

  • Great Plains Shelterbelt (англ. "Защитный пояс Великих равнин") - проект создания ветрозащитных лесополос в штатах Великих равнин в США, начатый в 1934 году, в ответ на сильные засухи и пыльные бури начала 30-х годов. Проект был инициирован президентом США Франклином Делано Рузвельтом по предложению Лесной службы Соединенных штатов, эксперты которой предположили, что леса способны уменьшить скорость ветров и испарение влаги из почвы. К 1942 году было посажено 220 миллионов деревьев на площади 18 600 квадратных миль (48 000 км2) в полосе шириной 100 миль от Канады до реки Бразос. (ru)
