[HTML][HTML] Mangrove forests as a nature-based solution for coastal flood protection: Biophysical and ecological considerations
Nature-based coastal protection is increasingly recognised as a potentially sustainable and
cost-effective solution to reduce coastal flood risk. It uses coastal ecosystems such as …

Modeling decadal salt marsh development: variability of the salt marsh edge under influence of waves and sediment availability
Salt marshes can contribute to coastal protection, but the magnitude of the protection
depends on the width of the marsh. The cross‐shore width of the marsh is to a large extent …

Salt marsh establishment and eco‐engineering effects in dynamic estuaries determined by species growth and mortality
Growth conditions and eco‐engineering effects of vegetation on local conditions in coastal
environments have been extensively studied. However, interactions between salt marsh …
