interact with density interact with color and buffer width

The  algorithm is  able to compute numbers of each type of tree that showed up in model rather than calculating numbers after implant tree components one by one. Without knowing how many trees being applied, this capacity can be used on budget calculating when making a project feasibility report. analysis of shrub numbers analysis of tree numbers analysis of tree numbers

A -  GRAPHIC :   A riparian forest buffer prototype B -  INTERACTION : By changing  the  buffer width , vegetation effect on the model will be changed accordingly to be a  3-layered buffer system . In the meanwhile,  river   water quality  will be improved showing  as  color switching from grey to blue. The  number  of each type of vegetation can be also adjusted  separately  to achieve  multi-dense  zoning effect The  distribution pattern  of each vegetation category can be also changed separately to achieve different effect based on needs ( random  spread / with a density gradient followed different orders ) C -  ANALYSIS :   The  algorithm   is also  able to compute numbers of each  type of trees  that  showed up in model rather than calculating numbers after implant tree components one by one. Without knowing how many trees being...

Play with multiple plant types on the model with a density gradient Conifer & Deciduous  with big and small shrubs and Grass add colors to elements 

Random trees on a  river  buffer zone model with grass 

Single tree random Multiple trees random C script to make data showing on one list

Revised Topic  RIPARIAN BUFFER ZONE CONSERVATION Making a riparian buffer zone prototype in my studio final project site: Inputs : ( Buffer zone conservation parameters) By changing the width of the buffer, ecological benefits will change accordingly, Outputs : (Buffer zone conservation effects) ●            Wildlife habitat & Plants types : Enhance species richness and habitat diversity ●            Water health : Protect water resources from nitrogen reduction , and sediment removal Source : https://extension.umd.edu/learn/22-minimum-buffer-widths http://www.ncagr.gov/SWC/watershed/documents/2012_Neuse_CY2011_Annual_Report_BOC_Final.pdf SCHEDULE – draft 10/27 Sunday 10/27 FP#3&4 Due FP Module 1: create a large scale river corridor model Wednesday 10/30 Create plant (trees and gra...
