Effects of vegetation structure on biomass accumulation in a Balanced Optimality Structure Vegetation Model (BOSVM v1.0)

the effects of changing roughness on the flow structure in the bends

flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...

Full Polarimetric Emissivity of Vegetation-Covered Soils: Vegetation Structure Effects

In May 1999 the SMOS Earth Explorer Opportunity mission was selected by ESA to provide global soil moisture and sea salinity maps using the MIRAS L-band aperture synthesis interferometric radiometer. At this frequency there is a high dynamic range of the soil moisture signature and surface roughness effects are small, as well as vegetation effects. However, they cannot be neglected at large obs...

Controls on Vegetation Structure in Southwestern

Long-term studies can broaden our ecological understanding and are particularly important when examining contingent effects that involve changes to dominance by long-lived species. Such a change occurred during the last century in Southwestern (USA) ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests. We used five livestock grazing exclosures established in 1912 to quantify vegetation structure in 1941 an...

Effects of temperature and precipitation on vegetation structure

Goal To theoretically investigate the consequences of changing temperature and precipitation (water availability) on salient aggregate properties of single-species forest dynamics. Current informal estimates place the number of species inhabiting our planet around 1.7 billion. This impressive diversity is the result of evolution over millions of years, in which many more species emerged that ar...
