Abstract

Vojvodina is one of the least afforested regions in Europe. Present afforested area is less then 6.80% of its total area. Beside small afforested area, the distribution of afforested area in Vojvodina is not regular. The least afforested zone is the zone of agricultural production, where the soil is the most fertile. At the base of accomplished projects on the establishment of shelterbelts in municipalities in Vojvodina that were designed by Institute for lowland forestry and environment, following data has been presented in this paper: area of the municipality, afforested area by municipalities, the area of the shelterbelts planed by the projects, their total length and total afforested area. The data has been presented by municipalities of Srem, Banat and Bačka, and in total for Vojvodina. The area that would be occupied by new shelterbelts in Srem would be 259.44 ha, in Banat 8096.27 ha, and in Bačka 5276.33 ha. That would increase afforested area in Srem by 0.67%, Banat by 2.04%, and in Bačka by 2.20%. Considering the total area for Srem, Banat and Bačka, the plants area for shelterbelts would be 13632.54 ha, the afforested area would be increased by 2.02%, and the total length of all planed shelterbelts would be 14467.8 km. Considering the area of 13632.54 ha that is planed for new shelterbelts, the afforested area in Vojvodina would be increased by 0.63%. The result is the increment of the percentage of the afforested area by 7.43%, and comparing to present afforested area, these areas would be increased by 9.32%. This increment of afforested area would influence the negative impact of wind erosion on the most fertile soils and their protection in the areas of intensive agricultural production.
