Turbulence dictates bedload transport in vegetated channels without dependence on stem diameter and arrangement

T Zhao, HM Nepf - Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Vegetation provides habitat and nature‐based solutions to coastal flooding and erosion,
drawing significant interest in its restoration, which requires an understanding of sediment …

The influence of vegetation-generated turbulence on deposition in emergent canopies

AR Deitrick, EH Hovendon, DK Ralston… - Frontiers in Marine …, 2023 - frontiersin.org
Laboratory experiments measured sediment deposition and turbulent kinetic energy (TKE)
in bare and vegetated channels. The model vegetation represented a mangrove …

Vegetation‐generated turbulence does not impact the erosion of natural cohesive sediment

AR Deitrick, DK Ralston, CR Esposito… - Geophysical …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Previous studies have demonstrated that vegetation‐generated turbulence can enhance
erosion rate and reduce the velocity threshold for erosion of non‐cohesive sediment. This …

[HTML][HTML] Modelling mangrove-mudflat dynamics with a coupled individual-based-hydro-morphodynamic model

SM Beselly, U Grueters, M van Der Wegen… - … Modelling & Software, 2023 - Elsevier
As climate-change-driven extremes potentially make coastal areas more vulnerable,
mangroves can help sustainably protect the coasts. There is a substantial understanding of …

Mangrove forest drag and bed stabilisation effects on intertidal flat morphology

R Gijsman, EM Horstman, A Swales… - Earth Surface …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Mangrove trees influence their physical environment by exerting drag on tidal flows and
waves while also stabilising the sediment bed of intertidal flats. These processes influence …

Living on the edge: How traits of ecosystem engineers drive bio-physical interactions at coastal wetland edges

LG Gillis, M Maza, J Garcia-Maribona, JL Lara… - Advances in Water …, 2022 - Elsevier
Salt marshes and mangrove forests provide critical ecosystem services such as reduced
sediment erosion and increased hydrodynamic buffering. Sediment transport and …

The coalescence of two mangrove-lined river plumes and consequences for sediment transport and deposition in a coastal environment

H Vundavilli, JC Mullarney, IT MacDonald - Continental Shelf Research, 2024 - Elsevier
We employed idealized numerical experiments using Delft3D to investigate how the
interactions of coalescing buoyant river plumes with mangrove vegetation affect sediment …

The influence of river plume discharge and winds on sediment transport into a coastal mangrove environment

H Vundavilli, JC Mullarney, IT MacDonald - Estuaries and Coasts, 2024 - Springer
We investigate how the physical forcing factors of river discharge and winds affect sediment
delivery to, and retention within, mangrove-lined coastal regions. We use an idealized …
