Observations and Modeling of Shear Reduction and Sediment Flux within Vegetated Canopies on Managed Coastal Dunes

Creator:

Dickey, John

Abstract:

Wind flow on vegetated coastal foredunes adapts to the local canopy drag, resulting in spatial gradients in bed shear stresses which contribute to the formation of localized bedforms (e.g., nebkha, shadow dunes). Numerous morphological properties of the plants, including canopy height and density, affect the wind flow dynamics and therefore...

Creator:

Abstract:

Recruitment of larvae from the plankton is an important determinant of community structure in marine systems. In populations of many marine species, recruitment determines the basic demographic parameters of immigration, emigration, and reproduction. Moreover, the effect of recruitment as an "ecological subsidy" can determine the strength of interactions among species...
