Multiscale analysis of global variation in tree allometric relationships: parameter sets for global vegetation models by Ian Grant, Wenge Ni-Meister, Nancy Y Kiang

“…Global models of vegetation dynamics and remote sensing data products require allometric relationships governing trees’ size and shape to predict such quantities as vegetation spatial structure and biomass. However, empirical variation in allometric relationships poses a challenge for global scale models that rely on limited classifications of plant functional types (PFTs), as site-derived parameters often fail to apply appropriately out of sample. …”

Homogenization of a Thermoelastic Bristly Structure Immersed in a Thermofluid by Sergey Sazhenkov, Elena Sazhenkova

“…Using classical methods in the theory of partial differential equations, we prove that the initial-boundary value problem for the considered model is well-posed. After this, we fulfill the homogenization procedure, i.e., we pass to the limit as the small parameter tends to zero, and, as a result, we derive the effective macroscopic model in which the dynamics of the interaction of the ‘liquid–bristly structure’ is described by equations of two homogeneous thermoviscoelastic layers with memory effects. …”
