Microplastics and nanoplastics are distributed in the environments universally. The
interrelationship between vascular plants and micro/nanoplastics began to attract attention …

Salt marsh and mangrove have been recognized as being among the most valuable
ecosystem types globally in terms of their supply of ecosystem services and support for …

Coastal erosion is occurring at a faster rate than in the past. The adverse impacts are not
negligible at environmental, economic, and socio-cultural levels. Hence, coastal protection …

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 …

Most existing analytical and numerical models to quantify wave energy attenuation attributed
to saltmarshes are based on the definition of a drag coefficient that varies with vegetation …

Based on energy conservation a new analytical formulation for the evaluation of wave
dam** under the combined effect of waves and both following and opposing currents is …

This study investigates the capacity of a Spartina alterniflora meadow to attenuate waves
during storm events based on field observations in the Chesapeake Bay. These …

Coastal vegetation such as seagrass fields, salt marshes, and mangroves, contributes to
coastal defence by dam** incoming waves. Yet, plant species differ in flexibility due to …

Large (km-scale) mangrove forests can provide protection to shorelines and near-coast
structures during extreme coastal flood events, including tsunamis and tropical cyclones …

The increasing frequency and/or severity of extreme climate events are becoming
increasingly apparent over multi‐decadal timescales at the global scale, albeit with relatively …
