Abstract
In a study such as the one described in this thesis, a review of the literature entails a commentary on a wide range of subjects. Accordingly, only the aspects that are directly applicable are discussed. 1 : 2 Effects of Wind on Plants, Whitehead ( 1957 ) proposed a classification of plant response to wind based on field studies with artificial shelter and laboratory wind tunnel studies. 'Exposure evasive plants ( e.g. rosette plants ) were unaffected by continuous high wind velocities whereas ' exposure tolerant ' ( e.g. Hordeum vulgare ) and' exposure sensitive ' ( e.g. Senecio nebrodenis ) plants exhibited slight and marked height reductions respectively.
