Morphodynamic Feedbacks during Vegetation Colonization of Tideflats

Abstract

The long-term goal of this effort is to understand interactions and feedbacks between biotic and physical process in tideflat morphodynamics. Investigated biotic processes consist primarily of vegetation colonization of tideflats. Physical process include those related to hydrodynamics, such as flow, sediment transport, salinity regime, inundation period, wave/storm disturbance, flood disturbance.
