Plant Morphology Impacts Bedload Sediment Transport

Plant Morphology Impacts Bedload Sediment Transport Liu, Chao; Shan, Yuqi; He, Li; Li, Fujian; Liu, Xingnian; Nepf, Heidi Bedload sediment transport plays an important role in the evolution of rivers, marshes and deltas. In these aquatic environments, vegetation is widespread, and plant species have unique morphology. However, the impact of real plant morphology on flow and sediment transport has not been quantified. This study used model plants with real plant morphology, based on the aquatic s
