| Research Abstract |
Experimental research was performed on the interaction between the flow in tall plant community and that in non-vegetated area. It was found that velocity profile, which is almost uniform in non-vegetated area, quickly transferred in the upstream zone of the community into the typical profile which is slow in crown zone and fast in trunk zone. On the contrary, in the downstream zone of the community, mixing motion is generated behind the crown zone, which influences long along the river flow. In the case the tall plant community is located along the one side of a river, complicated three dimensional current, which is generated by the interaction with non-vegetated area, was observed.
