“…Aquatic plants are common features in many environments, including rivers, flood plains, coastal regions, and shallow lakes. They provide many ecosystem services, such as producing and storing carbon (Greiner et al 2013; Tang et al 2018), enhancing bed and embankment stability (Barbier et al 2011; Arkema et al 2017), and providing shelter (Costanza et al 1997) and food (Waycott et al 2005) for fish and aquatic invertebrates. Aquatic plants can be adversely impacted by hydrodynamic drag forces which can damage (Duan et al 2006) or uproot (Schutten et al 2005) them.…”

Many aquatic plants are flexible and bend in response to current. This reconfiguration can reduce the drag on the plant, both by reducing the frontal area and by creating a more streamlined shape. Previous studies have considered how the buoyancy and rigidity of a plant impact the drag reduction. This study additionally considered how reconfiguration impacts the sheltering between leaves on a plant and how this, in turn, impacts the drag on the plant. The posture and drag of single-stemmed, leaved plants were studied through a combination of laboratory experiments and theoretical modeling using both plastic Rotala bonsai and live Bacopa caroliniana. The laboratory experiments measured drag and posture on individual plants over a range of channel velocity. The theoretical model calculated plant posture and drag based on a force balance that included buoyancy, the restoring force due to stem stiffness, and leaf drag modified to account for sheltering between leaves. Leaf sheltering was characterized by a sheltering coefficient, C s , which is a function of the plant posture, leaf angle, leaf spacing, and leaf width. C s decreased from 1 to a minimum value, C s0 , associated with a fully deflected, horizontal stem posture. Once validated, the model was used to explore a range of leaf configurations, following examples found in real plants. The modeling and experiments revealed conditions for which drag increased with reconfiguration, and also that the drag reached a finite, limiting value for horizontal stem posture. Neither trend has been described in previous reconfiguration models.

“…In response, mangrove afforestation programs have been launched worldwide as a way to restore degraded mangrove forests and expand mangrove areas (Leung and Cheung, 2017;Lewis, 2005). One such project is the "South Mangroves and North Tamarisk" is a wetland restoration project in the 13th ve-year plan (2016)(2017)(2018)(2019)(2020)) which is the central government blueprint for China's long-term social and economic policies (Tang et al, 2018).…”

Afforestation is a primary response to the loss and degradation of mangroves worldwide. The successful restoration of mangrove ecosystems is in part indicated by the rebuilding of macrobenthic community. However, the community dynamic of benthic macrofauna after mangrove afforestation was poorly known. Here, three quarterly surveys (2006–2007, 2014–2015, 2019–2020) of the benthic macrofauna and sediment grain size were conducted in a mix-planted mangrove stand (Kandelia obovata + Sonneratia apetala) in Xiamen Tong'an Bay, China. Our results showed that the community structure of benthic macrofauna differed significantly after mangrove afforestation. These differences were accompanied by the declines in the species number, abundance, biomass, and diversity (H'), as well as the fining of sediments. We also found that the epifauna and infauna exhibited different adaptabilities to mangrove vegetation. Additionally, shifts in the composition of the functional feeding groups were observed, indicating the modification of trophic structure after mangrove afforestation. We recommend that future mangrove afforestation programs call for a guide to coordinate habitats for different taxa.
