Modeling the interaction between flow and highly flexible aquatic vegetation (2010, background): “The bending or reconfiguration of plants reduces drag forces considerably [Vogel, 1981; Gaylord and Denny, 1997; Sand‐Jensen, 2008; Bouma et al., 2005].”
Consequences of shoot density and stiffness for ecosystem engineering by benthic macrophytes in flow dominated areas: a hydrodynamic flume study (2008, background): “Our present study on unidirectional currents is in agreement with our previous studies on waves (Bouma et al. 2005), suggesting that the capacity of S. anglica for trapping particles (i.e. sediment and seston) is positively controlled by the density of stems, which determines the efficiency of…”
Waves and high nutrient loads jointly decrease survival and separately affect morphological and biomechanical properties in the seagrass Zostera noltii (2012, background): “This morphological acclimation appears to be functional in reducing drag forces (Bouma et al. 2005) and thereby lowering the risk of uprooting or mechanical damage (Schutten and Davy 2000).”
Non‐linearity in ecosystem services: temporal and spatial variability in coastal protection (2009, background): “Few studies have compared the wave attenuation functions of different species of mangroves, marsh plants, or seagrasses (Bouma et al. 2005).”
Engineer pioneer plants respond to and affect geomorphic constraints similarly along water-terrestrial interfaces world-wide (2015, background): “, 2011), and can have major consequences for a plant’s ability to fit to disturbance (Bouma et al., 2005; Stallins, 2005; Gurnell, 2014).”
The more the better? The role of polyploidy in facilitating plant invasions. (2012, background): “It is considered an ecosystem engineer that expands its habitat by enhancing sediment accretion (Boumat et al., 2005).”
Posidonia oceanica and Cymodocea nodosa seedling tolerance to wave exposure (2011, methodology): “Drag forces were measured using a drag transducer developed by WL-Delft Hydraulics (Bouma et al. 2005) and calibrated as Stewart (2004).”
Potential for landscape-scale positive interactions among tropical marine ecosystems (2014, background): “Because a greater amount of structure implies a greater reduction in hydrodynamic energy and more sediment accretion (Bouma et al. 2005), we expect mangrove forests with larger areas to trap more sediment; this results in greater potential for buffering of coral reefs.”
