Step-by-step explanation:

Shelterbelts are used to decrease windspeed within the sheltered zone and reduce the erosion of fertile soils on agricultural land. This can increase the productivity of agricultural land by protecting this valuable topsoil and nutrients.Growing vegetation, either cash crops or cover crops, protects the soil and keeps the winds higher off the surface. Standing crop residues function the same way. Flattened crop residues are more effective at reducing soil erosion by water by absorbing raindrop impact.

Answer:

Growing vegetation, such as cash crops or cover crops, protects the soil and keeps the wind at bay. Standing crop leftovers work in a similar way. By absorbing the impact of raindrops, flattened crop wastes are more effective at reducing soil erosion caused by water.
