Environmental modeling of vegetative protection from wind erosion and rainfall infiltration, drainage, and load-carrying capacity of pavements.

Two independent research analyses were conducted. Part I investigates the aerodynamic protection of soil by various arrangements of plants from wind erosion. Theory of free turbulent flows, airflow momentum, and vegetative characteristics are incorporated into the construction of an environmental mo...
