Abstract:The present paper surveys advances in experimental and theoretical studies on turbulence in vegetation in recent years.The experimental results show that the turbulence in vegetation is high skewed,kurtotic and intermittent,and that turbulence transport processes in vegetation are dominated by large intermittent eddies. The plant elements, such as leaves, stems and branches generate turbulent wake with length scales smaller than those produced by meanwind shear. The smaller-sized, wake-generated turbulence ...
