A feedback between seagrass presence, suspended sediment and benthic light can induce
bistability between two ecosystem states: one where the presence of seagrass reduces …

The influence of vegetation canopies on the flow structure in streams, rivers, and floodplains
is heavily dependent on the cumulative drag forces exerted by the vegetation. The drag …

We present a critical analysis of experimental findings on vegetation–flow–sediment
interactions obtained through both laboratory and field experiments on tidal and coastal …

A series of laboratory experiments was conducted using arrays of rigid cylinders in a sandy
bed as a proxy for mangrove roots and benthos. Synchronous colocated measurements of …

Vegetation can change flow structure and turbulence characteristics. However, few studies
have focused on combined wave–current flows in canopy with vertically varying density …

Physical modeling of canopy‐flow interactions has mostly employed rigid model vegetation,
whereby the canopy geometry (ie, its height and frontal area) is invariant and easily …

Shear stresses on vegetated beds play an important role in driving a wide range of
processes at the sediment‐water interface, including sediment transport. Existing methods …

Laboratory experiments examined the impact of model vegetation on wave‐driven
resuspension. Model canopies were constructed from cylinders with three diameters (d …

Experiments were conducted in a laboratory flume using an artificial seagrass meadow,
modeled after Zostera marina, to examine the impact of waves on the vertical structure of …

Coastal canopies formed by aquatic vegetation can significantly modify nearshore wave
processes, which has motivated numerous laboratory and field studies investigating how …
