The Unique Ability of Fine Roots to Reduce Vegetated Coastal Dune Erosion During Wave Collision
Vegetated coastal sand dunes can be vital components of flood risk reduction schemes due to their ability to act as an erosive buffer during storm surge and wave attack. However, the effects of plant morphotypes on the wave-induced erosion process are hard to quantify, in part due to the complexity...
