Correction to: Characterizing natural riparian vegetation for modeling of flow and suspended sediment transport

Erratum to: J Soils Sediments

https://doi.org/10.1007/s11368-017-1776-3

The authors regret that the article contains a typing mistake in Eq. (5), with an u _C ² term accidentally appearing at the right hand side of the squared brackets. Originally, Eq. (5) was correctly derived in Västilä and Järvelä (2014) and should read:

$$ {f}^{\prime \prime }=4\left[{C}_{D\chi, F}{\left(\frac{u_C}{u_{\chi, F}}\right)}^{\chi_F}\frac{A_L}{A_B}+{C}_{D\chi, S}{\left(\frac{u_C}{u_{\chi, S}}\right)}^{\chi_S}\frac{A_S}{A_B}\right] $$

Subsequently, the revised Fig. 6 with the corrected Eq. (5) is shown below. The typing mistake does not affect any of the results or conclusions presented in the article.

Fig. 6

Usage of the flow resistance parameterization (Eqs. 2–6) in plant-scale, plant stand-scale, and reach-scale analyses at different relative submergences (h/H). The recommended characteristic approach velocities (u _C ) are shown, with u _v denoting the mean velocity in the vegetated part of the cross-section. Equations are written for the drag force (F), vegetative friction factor (f”), drag–density parameter (C _D a), drag–area parameter (C _D aH) and vegetative Manning coefficient (n _veg) using the one-sided leaf area (A _L ), frontal projected stem area (A _S ), unit bed area (A _B ), the leaf area per unit volume (a _L ) and the stem area per unit volume (a _S ). Values of χ _F , χ _S , C _Dχ,F , C _Dχ,S , u _χ,F , and u _χ,S are reported in Table 2 for common riparian species. Note that all vegetative reference areas refer to the wet parts of the plants
