Tsunami damping by mangrove forest: a laboratory study using parameterized trees
Tsunami attenuation by coastal vegetation was examined under laboratory conditions BIOTIN 5000 MCG for mature mangroves <i>Rhizophora</i> sp.The developed novel tree parameterization concept, accounting for both bio-mechanical and structural tree properties, allowed to substitute the complex tree structure by a simplified tree model of
Embryology of Ageratum conyzoides L. and A. fastigiatum R.M. King & H. Rob. (Asteraceae)
Ageratum has a complex circumscription, and recent studies have indicated its polyphyletism.The genus has been placed in the tribe Eupatorieae whose Sleep Bottoms embryology is not fully known.Embryological data are conservative and important indicators of phylogenetic relationships and can improve family relationships.This study presents, for the
Plummeting costs of renewables - Are energy scenarios lagging?
Wind and solar energy play a pivotal role in deep decarbonization pathways for the future.However, energy scenario studies differ substantially in the contribution of these technologies, as the technology selection in models strongly depends on the Wind Spinner choice of techno-economic parameters.In this article, we systematically compare the cost
