Vegetation-Hydrodynamic Interactions in Coastal Environments

Session ID#: 254088

Session Description:
Coastal vegetation, including mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrass meadows, represent dynamic environments shaped by complex interactions among hydrodynamic, ecological, and geomorphic processes. Understanding these interactions is critical for effective coastal management, habitat restoration, and enhancing climate resilience. This session focuses on the hydrodynamic and ecological interactions involving coastal vegetation, emphasizing how vegetation influences wave attenuation, sediment transport, erosion and accretion processes, and coastal morphology.

We invite presentations covering a range of topics, including but not limited to, wave-vegetation interactions, vegetation-driven sediment dynamics, habitat provision by coastal vegetation, impacts of extreme events (storms, tsunamis) on vegetated shorelines, ecosystem services provided by coastal vegetation for hazard mitigation, and the role of vegetation in coastal restoration for climate adaptation. We encourage submissions that integrate across scales from field observations to laboratory experiments and numerical modeling to foster interdisciplinary approaches.
