This paper investigates the drag exerted by randomly distributed, rigid, emergent circular
cylinders of uniform diameter d. Laboratory measurements are presented for solid volume …

Previous reviews of mangrove biology focused on the more extensive and diverse tropical
examples, with those of temperate regions generally relegated to a footnote. Temperate …

Both the drag force and the horizontal eddy viscosity play a dominant role in the tidal-scale
hydrodynamics in mangrove wetlands. Using field observations and basic fluid mechanics …

The circulation of water in riverine mangrove swamps is expected to be influenced by
mangrove roots, which in turn affect the transport of nutrients, pollutants and sediments in …

Mangroves have been shown to protect shorelines against damage from the combined
hydrodynamic forces of waves and tides, owing to the presence of roots (pneumatophores) …

Coastal cities around the world are increasingly exposed to flood risks due to climate
change, resulting sea level rise and more intense storm surges as well as due to growing …

In contrast to the global trend of mangrove decline, New Zealand mangroves are rapidly
expanding, facilitated by elevated sediment inputs in coastal waters as a consequence of …

Mangrove forests and saltmarshes are recognized for their roles in wave and current
attenuation, although a comparison of in situ observations between woody and herbaceous …

Mud crab, Scylla serrata, is a common mangrove species in the Indian Ocean. Over the last
decades, fishing pressure has greatly increased especially in Madagascar. Therefore …

Modeling tidal dynamics in mangroves is of great use in studying the effects of changes in
eg vegetation cover or tidal forcing. Process based models, taking into account vegetation …
