The net change in crop yield imparted by tree windbreaks is the difference between the gain in the sheltered zone and loss in the competition zone. Previous modeling studies have simulated either positive or negative windbreak effects on crop yield. However, both effects should be considered to determine the optimal windbreak structure. We developed a simple process-based model for estimating the effects of windbreak structure on maize yield in cool humid climates. In this model, both yield gain due to growth rate promotion resulting from increased soil temperature, and yield loss due to shading were considered. The model was validated with maize field measurements in Hokkaido, northern Japan. The average maize whole plant and grain yield for four years were 4% and 5% greater in the sheltered zone (3–5 H; H = windbreak height) and 22% and 30% lower in the competition zone (0.5–1 H), respectively, than 10–11 H. The positive and negative windbreak effects on yield could be adequately estimated using our model. Compared to an open field, the net benefit throughout the field was estimated to be 2–3% and 6–11% for whole plant and grain, respectively. The windbreak design that maximized the wind speed reduction did not necessarily maximize the windbreak benefit on maize yield. The proposed optimal total area density differed depending on the windbreak orientation, even under the same meteorological conditions. For windbreaks taller than 5–15 m, those oriented on the west and southwest sides had lower optimal total area density than windbreaks on the south side due to greater shading effects. These results indicate that windbreak height and porosity should be optimized for each field considering the balance between positive and negative effects. Our model provides a framework for determining the windbreak design best suited for each field.
