Advances on the Study of Vegetation in a Variety of Settings

Convenors: Florian Cordier, Heidi Nepf, Damien Violeau, Vladimir Nikora and Kamal El Kadi Abderrezzak

In the last decades, vegetation in fluvial and coastal areas has been a focus in environmental management for both its negative and positive impacts. Therefore, understanding and modelling the physical processes associated with macrophytes placed in a flow is becoming increasingly important in the engineering community. This special session will share the latest advances on the study of vegetation in the context of hydraulic science and engineering, aiming to facilitate the dissemination of the latest discoveries. A specific time slot will be dedicated at the end of the session to meet the speakers, which offers an exceptional opportunity for - especially early career - scientists to share with presenters and enlarge their network.
