Abstract:The protective effect range of windbreake networks for cotton production area,which was exposed to violent wind storm, was divided into the damaged zone and protective by fuzzy dustering stepwise discriminant method.The protective zone is for O.42H-23.00H to northern forest belt in the direction of South-North,and0.36H-0.23H to east forast belt in the direction of East-West.The protective area of simplex windbreak networks accounted for44.44%of the total area.The protective areas of complex windbreak networks increased by 18.76% comparing with the former.The unginned cotton,ginning outturn,and ginned cotton in protected area had increased 45.01%,5.30%,and 52.69% comparing with the damaged area respeetivety.The protection magnitude of the unginned cotton and ginned cotton had increased by 260.50kg/hm2 and 107.3Skg/hm2 in the complex winworks networks with the protective per-centage of 21.05% and 24.65% respectively.
