Description
Custom wind tunnel apparatus used to launch seeds at focal plants under controlled wind conditions to measure physical seed trapping rates. Seeds launched individually at 5 m/s wind speed from 15 cm distance to test trapping by vegetation.
Typical Equipment
- Craftsman B250 gas leaf blower
- aluminum honeycomb flow straightener
- testing chamber
- mesh seed trap
- forceps
Output Measurements
- seed trapping probability
- plant length effects
