Vegetation bioshields for tsunami mitigation: review of effectiveness, limitations, construction, and sustainable management
N Tanaka - Landscape and Ecological Engineering, 2009 - Springer
Coastal vegetation has been widely recognized as a natural method to reduce the energy of
tsunami waves. However, a vegetation barrier cannot completely stop a tsunami, and its …
