Calculation of the Shear Length Scale in Sparse Canopy Flows: Do Sparse Canopies Follow Mixing-Layer Scaling?
The pioneering work of Raupach et al. (Boundary-Layer Meteorol 78:351–382, 1996) proposed that the character of turbulent flow in a homogeneous plant...

Including the Urban Canopy Layer in a Lagrangian Particle Dispersion Model
In this study we introduce a novel extension of an existing Lagrangian particle dispersion model for application over urban areas by explicitly...

Investigation of a Geometric Parameter Corresponding to the Turbulent Length Scale Within an Urban Canopy Layer
In this paper, we identify a new geometric parameter that governs the turbulent length scale within the urban canopy layer. This parameter is the...

Canopy Management
Management of canopy design is a fundamental component in the plant kingdom for improving crop production by increasing the amount of dry matter...

Effects and response of the Cerrado ground-layer to frost along the canopy cover gradient
Frost effects on savanna plant communities have been considered as analogous to those from fire, both changing community structure and filtering...

A Filtering Approach to the Estimation of Model Parameters in the Vegetative Canopy Model
The drag-force model for canopy flows has difficulty in preparing appropriate drag coefficients C D to the canopy layer, even if its geometrical...

The effects of spanwise canopy heterogeneity on the flow field and evaporation rates
The effect of spanwise canopy heterogeneity on the turbulent wind flow field and associated evaporation rates was investigated by combined...

Stem stiffness functionality in a submerged canopy patch under oscillatory flow
Seagrass canopies are coastal ecosystems that are able to modify the abiotic environment through their architectural structure. They have different...

Canopy gap impacts on soil organic carbon and nutrient dynamic: a meta-analysis
Key messageThe forest canopy gaps, formed by natural or anthropogenic factors, have been found to reduce soil carbon content and increase nutrient...

The effects of canopy gaps on soil nutrient properties: a meta-analysis
Canopy gaps are a prevalent disturbance form in forest ecosystems that promote forest regeneration and succession by modifying the heterogeneity of...

Seagrass deformation affects fluid instability and tracer exchange in canopy flow
Monami is the synchronous waving of a submerged seagrass bed in response to unidirectional fluid flow. Here we develop a multiphase model for the...

An Original Standalone Urban Canopy Model to Support Urban Design/Retrofit Optimization
Standalone Urban Canopy Models (UCMs) attempt to replace the full-fledged atmospheric representation with a computationally light equivalent. The UCM...
