That storm, which, as everyone remembers, covers the sky with a romantic mist, turns whirls of snow, howls like a beast, and can cry with the voice of a child, is beautifully described by the poet A.S. Pushkin. And the next day the poet already has a frost, snow sparkling in the sun and a wonderful day in general. However, let’s take a closer look: there were some consequences from yesterday’s storm. And before you harness a horse for a walk in a sled, it is worthwhile to assess the damage caused by yesterday's element.
Surface roots
The observer may see a forest shabby by a storm, trees broken by it. Called "disgrace" is a windbreak.
It happens that the elements so violently rage that it doesn’t just knock down the trunks to the ground and twist the branches, but directly uproots big trees. In the forest where the storm passed, a drill is formed in this case (it is also called a wind turbine).
The word "windbreak" - a masculine noun is formed from two corresponding roots of the words "storm" and "break". The nouns "storm" and "wind" have the same genus and the same way of formation: the compilation of two roots of words: storm + knock and wind + break.
And although for many these words seem like synonyms, foresters clearly distinguish them.
Information from the arborist and toponymist
A veto is, according to their classification, trees felled by the wind, which lend themselves to it relatively easily. Among them:
And if they grow on wet marshy soils, then the likelihood of seeing them uprooted as an illustration has been blown away.
But there are trees that grow in the forests, they penetrate their roots into the deep soil layers. These breeds include:
- maple;
- Pine;
- larch;
- ash;
- oak;
- beech.
Yes, bad weather can pat them: break off branches, even the top of a tree, and sometimes the entire trunk. In the terminology of forestry experts, this is just a windbreak.
An interesting fact from Russian toponymy. In the Zhernovsky rural settlement (and this is the Lipetsk region, its Dolgorukovsky district) there is a village Burelom. It is not hard to guess why she got such a name.
