Abstract:
There is great interest in quantifying and understanding how shelter modifies crop growth and development under Australian conditions. Small constructed enclosures (shelters) can consistently reduce wind speed, allowing experiments to be run with replicated sheltered and unsheltered treatments in close proximity. The aim of this study was to quantify the effect on microclimate of consistently reducing wind speed by 70% and explain the consequences for dryland wheat (
