Tidal marshes and mangroves are increasingly valued for nature-based mitigation of coastal
storm impacts, such as flooding and shoreline erosion hazards, which are growing due to …

This manuscript reviews the progresses made in the understanding of the dynamic
interactions between coastal storms and salt marshes, including the dissipation of extreme …

Coastal communities around the world face an increasing risk from flooding as a result of
rising sea level, increasing storminess and land subsidence,. Salt marshes can act as …

This paper highlights some recent trends in vegetation hydrodynamics, focusing on
conditions within channels and spanning spatial scales from individual blades, to canopies …

The contribution of seagrasses to coastal protection is examined through the review of the
most relevant existing knowledge. Seagrasses are the largest submerged aquatic …

This paper analyses the effect of vegetation on wave damping under severe storm
conditions, based on a combination of field measurements and numerical modelling. The …

Wave attenuation by vegetation is a highly dynamic process and its quantification is
important for understanding shore protection potential and modeling coastal hydrodynamics …

In this work, a model for wave transformation on vegetation fields is presented. The
formulation includes wave damping and wave breaking over vegetation fields at variable …

When determining the suitability of a certain area as a habitat for submersed aquatic
vegetation (SAV), light and parameters that modify light (epiphytes, total suspended solids …

In this paper, we present an experimental and numerical study that describes the motion of
flexible blades, scaled to be dynamically similar to natural aquatic vegetation, forced by …
