Wave damping by flexible vegetation: Connecting individual blade dynamics to the meadow scale

Aquatic vegetation provides ecosystem services of great value, including the damping of waves, which protects shorelines and reduces resuspension. This study proposes a physically-based model to predict the wave decay associated with a submerged meadow as a function of plant morphology, flexibility,...
