This paper reviews the current status of mechanistic models for wind damage risk
assessment, describing model structure, applicability, validation and current limitations. We …

With increasing evidence that exposures to air pollution near large roadways increases risks
of a number of adverse human health effects, identifying methods to reduce these exposures …

Studying the microclimate of plant canopies has long motivated scientists in various
research fields such as agronomy, ecology or silviculture, and almost a century has passed …

The distribution of fuels is recognised as a key driver of wildland fire behaviour. However,
our understanding of how fuel density heterogeneity affects fire behaviour is limited because …

Recent observations demonstrate that, against expectations, some forests maintain high
carbon (C) storage rates for centuries, though the underlying mechanisms remain poorly …

Forests cover nearly a third of the Earth's land area and exchange mass, momentum, and
energy with the atmosphere. Most studies of these exchanges, particularly using numerical …

Large coherent structures over vegetation canopies are responsible for a substantial part of
the turbulent transfer of momentum, heat and mass between the canopy and the …

Semiarid landscapes are characterized by vegetated surfaces. Understanding the impact of
vegetation on aeolian soil erosion is important for reducing soil erosion or limiting crop …

Abstract The Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS)-based Forest Large-Eddy
Simulation (RAFLES), developed and evaluated here, is used to explore the effects of three …
