Green infrastructure, utilizing coastal ecosystems, provides a nature-based solution to
counteract coastal hazards and rising sea level. Coastal forests, a major type of green …

In the tropics, thermal stratification (during warm conditions) may contribute to a shallowing
of the mixed layer above the nutricline and a reduction in the transfer of nutrients to the …

Aim Mangroves are coastal ecosystems exposed to terrestrial, marine, geomorphic and
climatic forcings operating in concert, making the mangrove niche hard to define, as …

Aquatic plants play a crucial role in the hydrodynamic and material transport processes
within the aquatic environments due to the additional flow resistance induced by vegetation …

This paper studied the interactions between mangroves and water waves through laboratory
experiments. Using 1: 7 scale 3D‐printed trees based on the scanned image of a typical …

Deltaic landscapes, such as the Mississippi River Delta, are sites of extensive conversion of
wetlands to open water, where increased fetch may contribute to erosion of marsh edges …

Natural revegetation alters local hydrodynamic conditions in coastal lagoons. To investigate
vertical flow structures in revegetated lagoons, a series of flume experiments are …

Coastal vegetation is capable of mitigating tsunami damage. Yet, the complex tsunami
dynamics induced by spatial variability of onshore vegetation are not well understood at …

Coastal wetlands are an important ecosystem in nearshore regions, but they are also
significant in affecting the flow patterns within these areas. Wave-induced flow in wetlands …

This note presents laboratory measurements of the drag coefficient for a finite patch of
vegetation that was simulated with a limited number of rigid cylindrical rods. The experiment …
