Vegetation as self‐adaptive coastal protection: Reduction of current velocity and morphologic plasticity of a brackish marsh pioneer

By reducing current velocity, tidal marsh vegetation can diminish storm surges and storm waves. Conversely, currents often exert high mechanical stresses onto the plants and hence affect vegetation structure and plant characteristics. In our study, we aim at analysing this interaction from both angl...
