Wave attenuation over coastal salt marshes under storm surge conditions

Wave attenuation over coastal salt marshes under storm surge conditions Salt marshes protect coastlines against waves. Wave flume experiments show that marsh vegetation causes substantial wave dissipation and prevents erosion of the underlying surface, even during extreme storm surge conditions. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Nature Geoscience Springer Journals
