Description of the measure
Plant rows along the main wind direction to avoid storm damage and horizontally to the hill to avoid erosion
Comments on sustainability
Plantation across the slope reduces the erosion risk. A reduced risk for storm damage can be achieved by the orientation of the plantation in direction of the main winds.
