Wave attenuation in stands of common reed(Phragmites australis) and its consequences on sediment resuspension
Common reed is found in near-shore areas of many European lakes, where it forms dense stands. As waves are influenced by obstacles along the wave path, water and sediment motions caused by waves are affected by these stands. This study aims to evaluate the effect of common reed stands on waves, evaluate the effect of common reed stands on wave induced sediment resuspension, test a model for wave a
