Introduction

More and more, aquatic and semi-terrestrial vegetation (salt marshes, mangroves, floodplain vegetation) is playing a prominent role in interdisciplinary studies of recovering or threatened ecosystems and flood risk reduction. Both within Deltares and in the world around us, vegetation is a topic of interest for many different disciplines (hydrodynamics, morphology, (ground-)water quality, ecology and eco-engineering). Because vegetation modelling is a very interdisciplinary subject, it tends to fall between programmes or themes and people of different organizations may have difficulties to stay aware of the state-of-the-art. This wiki will help the vegetation modelling community (and other modellers) to integrate vegetation modelling tools, share knowledge and keep each other up-to-date on developments.

Themes and programmes that relate to vegetation modelling are:

Theme Ecosystemen en Milieu KwaliteitEcosystems and Environmental Quality:   

• Next Generation Information Tools Ecosystem Monitoring and Modelling (Nicky Villars, Joachim Rozemeijer)
• Eco-Engineering (Tom Buijse)
• Eco-infrastructure (Victor Beumer)
• Ecosystem Services (Suzanne vd Meulen)                       
• Van Perceel naar Zee (Leonard Oste)

Thema Water Veiligheid:      

• Nature Based Flood Defense (Bregje van Wesenbeeck, Ellis Penning)
• Understanding System Dynamics: from River Basin to Coastal Zone (Leonard Oste, Ad van der Spek)

Theme Flood Risk:      

• Hydro- and morphodynamics during extreme events (Ap van Dongeren, Frederiek Sperna Weiland
• Systeemgedrag Kust (Ad vd Spek)
• Event-driven morphodynamics (Ap van Dongeren)
