In recent decades, climate change has become an observed reality of extreme weather events, representing the greatest threat facing humanity and the environment. An unbalanced distribution of Romania's green cover in the current climate change, requires as a long-term solution the planting of protective forest curtains to maintain the sustainability of the agricultural sector. Selecting genotypes with high resistance not only protects agricultural crops, but also contributes to the creation of natural barriers against wind and soil erosion, directly improving the quality of the environment and ensuring the protection of agricultural infrastructures and local ecosystems. In this context, the present study aims to analyze and highlight the role and importance of the black walnut species (Juglans nigra L.) with resistance and suitability for protective curtains. The selection and conservation of black walnut genotypes that show high adaptability and resistance to climatic variations are essential for the development of sustainable and efficient protective curtains. These vegetal curtains have the role of reducing the negative effects of climate change on agricultural crops and ecosystems, thus contributing to ensuring the sustainability of agriculture and environmental protection. The results obtained highlighted the fact that the implementation of activities to identify and conserve resistant genotypes not only protects agricultural crops, but also contributes to the creation of natural barriers against wind and soil erosion, directly improving the quality of the environment and ensuring the protection of agricultural infrastructures and local ecosystems.
