[...] le ralentissement du vent est [...] important pour l'agriculture. Énumérons simplement certains avantages. - Le ralentissement du vent entraîne une baisse de l'évapo-transpiration, donc du besoin en eau des plantes, rendant les récoltes moins fluctuantes, moins sensibles aux années de sécheresse. - Comme le besoin en eau des plantes est plus facilement comblé, il n'y a pas fermeture des stomates pour retenir l'eau de la plante, donc la photosynthèse peut fonctionner à plein, l'échange de CO2 avec l'extérieur n'étant pas bloqué. 4, record 1, French, - besoin%20en%20eau%20des%20cultures
