Aquatic plants play a crucial role in the hydrodynamic and material transport processes
within the aquatic environments due to the additional flow resistance induced by vegetation …

Flexible submerged vegetation plays a pivotal role in ecosystem. Understanding the
complex impact of flexible vegetation bending on flow drag is crucial. The wide variability in …

Floating canopies with unanchored roots are often distributed in streams and wetlands,
which alters the evolution of the flow velocity inside the canopy interiors. Based on the flow …

Floating vegetation with unanchored and connected roots can completely cover the water
surface of rivers, ditches, and streams. Eichhornia crassipes is a typical macrophyte with a …

Sediment movements on the riverbeds are crucial in fluvial processes. Therefore, studying
incipient sediment motion is valuable for predicting changes in sediment behavior. In this …

An in situ integrated system, consisting of ecological floating islands (EFI), ecological
riverbeds (ER), and ecological filter dams (EFD), was built in a ditch only receiving the …

Floating canopies of vegetation alter the vertical profile of flow velocity within and below
canopies, which in turn impacts sediment deposition below canopies. This study explored …

Aquatic vegetation provides ecological, hydrological, and aesthetic functions for rivers, and
measuring velocity in vegetated channels is essential for river management. The paper …

The emergence of floodplain vegetation enhances the local drag and affects the velocity
distribution of the overbank flow in a two‐stage channel. Numerous analytical models (eg …

Floating vegetation occurs in various environments, such as artificial floating islands,
wetlands, river courses, and lakes, which constitute an important part of the river landscape …
