Species-specific and seasonal differences in the resistance of salt-marsh vegetation to wave impact

Species-specific and seasonal differences in the resistance of salt-marsh vegetation to wave impact

The coastal protection function provided by the vegetation of tidal wetlands (e.g. salt marshes) will play an important role in defending coastlines against storm surges in the future and depend on how these systems respond to such forcing. Extreme wave events may induce vegetation failure and there...
