- Modeling the flow resistance of woody vegetation using physically based properties of the foliage and stem (2014, background): “The frontal-projected areas can decrease via various mechanisms, such as the bending of the stem [cf., Xavier, 2009; Wunder et al., 2011] or the compaction of the foliage [e.g., Vogel, 1989; Vollsinger et al., 2005].”
- Drag reduction of flexible plates by reconfiguration (2010, background): “See for example the collections of Vogel exponents and data on the reconfiguration efficiency of different terrestrial and aquatic plant species by Vogel (1996, p. 143) and Harder et al. (2004) or the wind tunnel measurements on different hardwood tree species by Vollsinger et al. (2005).”
- Characteristic reference areas for estimating flow resistance of natural foliated vegetation (2013, methodology): “…revealed that the F/A0 values for the present 394 Black Poplars were on average 74% of those for tall Black Poplars computed from Koizumi et al. (2010), and 43-56% 395 of those for Trembling Aspens and 53-57% of those for Black Cottonwoods computed from Vollsinger et al. (2005) 396 (Figure 10a).”
- On the scaling of drag reduction by reconfiguration in plants (2012, background): “Although drag has been measured on parts of trees in wind tunnels [12], full trees have not often been considered, because of the difficulty of outdoor measurements.”
- The periodic motion of lodgepole pine trees as affected by collisions with neighbors (2008, background): “Trees are adaptive, flexible, dynamic structures that sway and streamline to reduce and survive large drag loads (Niklas 1998; Niklas and Speck 2001; Rudnicki et al. 2004; Vollsinger et al. 2005) from wind.”
- Effects of Wind on Plants (2008, background): “The line represents a model of a cylinder mounted on a rotational spring; plus signs represent maple tree crown (Vollsinger et al. 2005); asterisks, giant reed (Speck & Spatz 2004); open circles, tulip tree leaf (Vogel 1989); open squares, flexible sheet (Schouveiler & Boudaoud 2006). flow…”
