Vuik, V. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author)Salt marshes are a characteristic feature of estuaries and coastal seas. They are found in the upper coastal intertidal zones between land and water, which are regularly flooded by tides and surges. They are covered with salt-tolerant vegetation types, such as herbs and grasses. Sheltering from continuous intense hydrodynamic forcing by waves...abstract 2016

Mol, A.C.S. (author)Measurements have been carried out at the Paulinaschor, a salt marsh in the Westerschelde, to obtain information of the effect of vegetation on wave attenuation. The data have been analyzed. It appears that wave height is strongly reduced by the vegetation, especially for low water depths. Further analysis of the data has been done, to achieve...report 2003

Low, E. (author)The main topic of this dissertation is concerned with potential sea wave attenuation by salt marsh vegetation. The overall structure of the dissertation is divided into a literature review and an experimental paper, which is further divided into an in-situ and ex-situ study. Salt marshes have some protected status within the EU and much study is...report 2002

Kortlever, W. (author)A literature survey has been conducted on wave attenuation by vegetation with emphasis on reed which has revealed that the influence of various parameters such as the number of reed stalks per unit horizontal area and the dynamic behaviour of the stalks is not known. The two analytical solutions found in this survey are based on linearized...report 1994
