Leaf Area Index as Vegetation Density Measure for Hydraulic Analyses
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 drag force. Direct drag force measurements on flexible artificial plants were conducted in a stand. The experiments were novel in that the leaf area index (LAI) was varied in two ways: (1) the distances between the plants were altered, and (2) the leaf area of the plants was doubled and tripled. In addition, the vertical leaf area distribution was examined. The drag forces depended on the leaf mass in a similar fashion regardless of the horizontal distribution of the leaf mass, but the vertical distribution had a more significant impact. Shading of the leaves slightly reduced resistance for bushy plants because the leaf mass hidden behind the frontal projected area exerted drag. The experiments confirmed LAI to be a useful measure in estimating vegetative resistance.
