A field investigation of diffusion within a submerged plant canopy
Saltwater marshes and wetlands are important buffers at the land-sea interface. Among the most biologically active ecosystems on Earth, natural and man-made wetlands are important interceptors of pollutants and nutrients bound for the coastal ocean. The transport, dilution, and deposition processes …
