dc.description.abstract | Out of 88,361 km² of the Republic of Serbia’s territory, 53.76% is agricultural land, amounting
to 47,502.173 km². Considerable part of that land is situated in the Autonomous Province of
Vojvodina (APV) (19.69 %, or 17,397.92 km²). Its terrain mostly consists of lowlands belonging
to the Pannonian Basin, intersected by numerous rivers and canals. About 7% (exactly 7.1%)
of land in APV is covered by forest (compared to 29.1% in the Republic of Serbia), while that
percentage in the eastern parts of the province, where the effect of the southeastern wind
called Košava is the greatest, goes between 1.5 and 7.7%. Lowland terrain and the climate
there make this area susceptible to wind erosion, i.e. degradation of the agricultural land. The
negative effect is two-fold: deflation of fertile soil particles, and deposition of infertile material
over fertile agricultural land. Degradation of the agricultural land due to the wind erosion,
salinization of the soil caused by irrigation and flooding, spreading of infrastructure and
similar negatively affect the area of land convenient for agriculture. The paper points to all the
adverse effects that lead to the decrease of arable land areas in APV, making it vital to protect
and preserve the most fertile zones. As a priority measure, raising forest windbreaks is suggested
so as to provide a long-term protection of the degraded agricultural land and preserve
the existing agricultural land, along with the crops raised there. The purpose of this paper is
to analyze the need for, the types of and the techniques of forest windbreaks on the territory
of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, in the Republic of Serbia, as well as to establish
other positive impacts of planting and maintaining forests. It also presents a comparative
analysis of the change in the ration between agricultural and forested areas based on CORINE
