Numerical Modeling of Microfluid Dynamics in Xylem Vessels of Khaya grandifoliola [PDF]

Water, 2021
Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) can be used to quantify the internal flow variables of xylem conducting vessels. This study aims to analyze through numerical simulations the xylem water ascent of African mahogany (Khayagrandifoliola) cultivated under different irrigation regimes. We determined a geometric model, defined through the variability of the

Floristic composition and turnover analysis in Dahomey Gap and the surrounding sub‐humid Togolese mountain minor forest refuges: Importance for biogeography and biodiversity conservation in sub‐Saharan Africa

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 10, October 2022., 2022
The origin of the DG is one of the central biogeographical questions in sub‐Saharan Africa, which has been addressed in recent phylogenetic studies. Till date, no study based on large floristic data collected in the DG has addressed this question. Our work, based on large floristic data collected in the DG and compared with those of regional floras, is
