The influence of vegetation on flow and transport mechanisms: An experimental study on sediment transport mechanisms in two parallel stretches of vegetated and non-vegetated bed

Vegetation on river banks and bars contribute to the stability of these morphological features; however, the exact processes that contribute to this stabilization are still subject to research. This study has looked into the flow phenomena at the streamwise interface between a vegetated and non-vegetated river bed. Flow velocities in vegetated...
