“…A single vegetation blade likely has little influence on waves, however, numerous blades as a SAV meadow can significantly impact waves by generating turbulence (Abdolahpour et al, ; Tan et al, ; Tang et al, ; Zhang et al, ), reducing wave energy (Garzon et al, ; Henderson et al, ; Infantes et al, ; Nowacki et al, ; Paul et al, ), and inducing mean currents (Abdolahpour et al, ; Chen et al, ; Luhar & Nepf, ). The wave‐driven currents in a vegetation meadow are expected to enhance the asymmetry of blade motion (e.g., Figure 8 of Lei & Nepf, ).…”
