Abstract:
To estimate the source/sink and the vertical fluxes of mass and energy within and above plant canopies continues to be a critical research problem in biosphere-atmosphere exchange processes. The underlying approaches in such problem are to exploit the natural properties of turbulence within and above vegetation, such as Lagrangian inverse analysis, high order Eulerian closure model, and hybrid Eulerian-Lagrangian method. This paper introduced the recent development in multilayer turbulent transport methods to compute the distributions of the strengths of scalar sources and sinks within plant-atmosphere continuum, and in particular, focused on the so-called "inverse methods", and described above three methods and their characteristics in detail. The limitation and prospect of these methods were also mentioned.
