Effects of wind waves versus ship waves on tidal marsh plants: a flume study on different life stages of Scirpus maritimus
Published in PloS one (23-03-2015)“…Recent research indicates that many ecosystems, including intertidal marshes, follow the alternative stable states theory. This theory implies that thresholds…”

Coping with waves: Plasticity in tidal marsh plants as self-adapting coastal ecosystem engineers
Published in Limnology and oceanography (01-03-2018)“…Tidal marsh vegetation is increasingly valued for its role in ecosystem-based coastal protection due to its wave dissipating capacity. As the efficiency of…”

How effective are tidal marshes as nature-based shoreline protection throughout seasons?
Published in Limnology and oceanography (01-07-2019)“…Nature-based mitigation is increasingly proposed as a strategy to cope with global change and related risks for coastal flooding and erosion. Tidal marshes are…”

Wave attenuation by intertidal vegetation is mediated by trade‐offs between shoot‐ and canopy‐scale plant traits
Published in The Journal of applied ecology (01-11-2024)“…Nature‐based solutions, through conservation or (re)creation of vegetated shorelines, are recognized to mitigate the impact of waves and erosion risks on…”
