Abstract

A numerical model (TurbSeed) is described which calculates explicitly the dispersal of plant seeds by wind, especially the fraction of seeds, which are transported more than 100m starting at the inflorescence. Such rare events are called here long-distance dispersal. The framework of TurbSeed includes three main modules:(1)A turbulence model (TM) for a specified location and time period using meteorological parameters from publicly available mesoscale weather models or simulated climate data.(2)A Lagrangian model (LM) which calculates the seed transport in the turbulent boundary layer and(3)A module which considers the effect of weather conditions on release of seeds (RS).
