Comparison of drag and velocity in model mangrove forests with random and in-line tree distributions

This study examined the role of tree arrangement (random versus aligned) on the drag forces and velocity inside a 1/12th-scale model mangrove forest over a range of tree density (trees m−2). Each model tree included an aerial root system geometrically similar to Rhizophora, with maximum root height...
