Recent and Historic Drivers of Landscape Change in the Everglades Ridge, Slough, and Tree Island Mosaic

“…Using field-calibrated drag coefficients unique to ridge and slough vegetation communities (Lee et al, 2004;, theory relating drag coefficients to vertical eddy diffusivities (Nepf et al, 1997), and representative vegetation architectures based on clip plots harvested throughout the ridge and slough landscape (Carter et al, 1999a(Carter et al, , 1999bRybicki et al, 2001), Larsen et al (2009b) solved for velocity profiles over a range of water-surface slopes and surface water depths. They then used a force balance to solve for bed shear stress from the velocity profiles.…”
