A multispecies canopy photosynthesis simulation model was used to examine the importance of canopy structure in influencing light interception and carbon gain in mixed and pure stands of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and wild oat (Avena fatua L.), a common weedy competitor of wheat. In the mixtures,

A simple mathematical model is proposed, which combines the effects of mean wind speed, plant spacing and the drag coefficients of individual plants to calculate the fluctuating airflow within a waving crop canopy. The model is non-linear and is only amenable to analytical treatment when linearized;
A higher-order closure model was developed to simulate airflow within and above vegetative environments. The model consists of equations for the mean wind, turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) components, tangential stress and simplified equations for the thud-order transport terms that appear in the seco
