TL;DR: In this article, a simple linear analytical model for the tidal movement in narrow, converging estuaries and a conceptual model on the response of tidal rivers to river engineering works are presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the first controlled reduced tide system (CRT) was implemented in the freshwater zone of the Schelde estuary (Belgium) based on four years of high-frequency monitoring on the first CRT and the adjacent estuary.

TL;DR: It was hypothesized that intertidal marshes contribute significantly to the contaminant filter function of estuaries and the large-scale implementation of planned tidal marsh restoration projects was estimated to almost double the trace metal storage capacity of the present natural tidal marshes in the estuary.

TL;DR: Van Oene et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a model that is used to analyse plant-herbivore interactions and their scaling up to landscape level, which can be used to predict effects of herbivory on vegetation development.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the long-term bed-level dynamics in the Scheldt estuary and found that the high-resolution (1.5 years) bed level changes were dominated by the dominant hydrodynamic driving forces, namely tides and waves.
