Tidal marshes and mangroves are increasingly valued for nature-based mitigation of coastal
storm impacts, such as flooding and shoreline erosion hazards, which are growing due to …

During sea level rise, salt marshes transgress inland invading low-lying forests, agricultural
fields, and suburban areas. This transgression is a complex process regulated by infrequent …

Exposure to coastal flooding is increasing due to growing population and economic activity.
These developments go hand-in-hand with a loss and deterioration of ecosystems …

Shorelines and their ecosystems are endangered by sea-level rise. Nature-based coastal
protection is becoming a global strategy to enhance coastal resilience through the cost …

This paper analyses the effect of vegetation on wave dam** under severe storm
conditions, based on a combination of field measurements and numerical modelling. The …

Wave attenuation by vegetation is a highly dynamic process and its quantification is
important for understanding shore protection potential and modeling coastal hydrodynamics …

Vegetation can contribute to coastal defence by dam** incoming waves. However, prior
studies have shown that attenuation varies greatly among plant species. Plant flexibility is a …

Coastal wetlands such as salt marshes and mangroves provide valuable ecosystem
services including coastal protection. Many studies have assessed the influence of plant …

Worldwide, communities are facing increasing flood risk, due to more frequent and intense
hazards and rising exposure through more people living along coastlines and in flood …

River deltas all over the world are sinking beneath sea-level rise, causing significant threats
to natural and social systems. This is due to the combined effects of anthropogenic changes …
