This review describes mean and turbulent flow and mass transport in the presence of
aquatic vegetation. Within emergent canopies, the turbulent length scales are set by the …

Seagrass meadows are vital ecosystems in coastal zones worldwide, but are also under
global threat. One of the major hurdles restricting the success of seagrass conservation and …

Over recent years, many coastal engineering projects have employed the use of soft
solutions as these are generally less environmentally damaging than hard solutions …

The contribution of seagrasses to coastal protection is examined through the review of the
most relevant existing knowledge. Seagrasses are the largest submerged aquatic …

Aquatic plants convert mean kinetic energy into turbulent kinetic energy at the scale of the
plant stems and branches. This energy transfer, linked to wake generation, affects vegetative …

The story of this edition is a testament to an almost legendary gure in theoretical ecology
and to the in uence his work and charisma has had on the eld. It is also a story that can only …

Water movement in freshwater and marine environments affects submersed macrophytes,
which also mediate water movement. The result of this complex interaction also affects …

Aquatic vegetation controls the mean and turbulent flow structure in channels and coastal
regions and thus impacts the fate and transport of sediment and contaminants. Experiments …

Salt marshes, most now embanked, together with genetically related wetlands and high
intertidal flats, make a major environmental contribution to the lowland coasts of Northwest …

Seagrasses are able to modify current flow and sediment composition, yet little information
exists describing their effect on waves. Four species of seagrass, Halodule wrightii …
