Longitudinal dispersion in open channel flow with suspended canopies
Suspended canopies can cause flow disturbances such as reducing velocities within the canopy, and increasing flow beneath the canopy. Flow modifications by canopies dramatically affect the fate and transport of sediment, nutrients, contaminants, dissolved oxygen, and fauna in aquatic systems.

SPECTRAL CHARACTERIZATION OF A CLOSED CANOPY AND OPEN CANOPY FOREST IN NORTHERN SIERRA MADRE NATURAL PARK [PDF]
Abstract. Forest lands play crucial roles in nutrient recycling and climate regulation. The change of closed canopy forests to open canopy forests may indicate disturbance within the closed canopy forest. Within the local context of the Philippines, few studies have been conducted to monitor changes in closed canopy forest lands.
