TL;DR: In this paper, wave flume experiments show that marsh vegetation causes substantial wave dissipation and prevents erosion of the underlying surface, even during extreme storm surge conditions, and salt marshes protect coastlines against waves.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of vegetation on wave dissipation during storms when wave heights and water levels are highest was investigated in canopies of two typical NW European salt marsh grasses: Puccinellia maritima and Elymus athericus.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of wave focussing on a vertical wall at large scale was studied and the impact type on the wall's pressure and forces was analyzed at a large scale with high spatial and temporal resolution.

TL;DR: In this paper, a volume of fluid method for coastal structures under the influence of normal incident irregular wave fields is proposed and validated against a multiple of experimental data sets for two dimensional coastal problems.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of individual vegetation parameters in this water-vegetation interaction was evaluated by conducting drag force measurements under a wide range of wave loadings in a large wave flume, where artificial vegetation elements were used to manipulate stiffness, frontal area in still water and material volume as a proxy for biomass.
