Leaf Area Index as Vegetation Density Measure for Hydraulic Analyses
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The correct parameterization of vegetation using measurable plant characteristics is essential for reliable flow resistance estimates. This paper focuses on the impact of density and distribution of the leaf mass on the ...
Deriving Floodplain Topography and Vegetation Characteristics for Hydraulic Engineering Applications by Means of Terrestrial Laser Scanning
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to explore the applicability of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) in determining floodplain ground level and vegetation properties for hydraulic analyses. The field investigations were conducted ...
