Can windbreaks and shelterbelts help Increase carbon sequestration

HARTINGTON — Forests, farms, and other wooded areas provide a wide array of health benefits, such as supplying clean water, supporting wildlife habitat, adapting to climate change, and sequestering carbon. Like trees in forests, trees planted in agroforestry practices (windbreaks, shelterbelts, etc.) also sequester carbon and play an important role in reducing greenhouse gas concentrations.
