A wind-break is anything that reduces wind-speed, usually at ground-level and a few feeet above. That includes living barriers - such as trees and other substantial plants. Farmers will plant a row of trees in between fields to keep the topsoil from being blown into the next field. In coastal areas, marsh grass is planted near the beaches to keep the ocean breezes from blowing the sand inland, thus reducing the size of the beach.
