Implication

This analysis shows wave height reductions between 10% and 40% in seagrass meadows, indicating seasonal variability and biomechanical flexibility are crucial in wave dynamics.

Key Points

Seasonal variability in seagrass affects wave damping, with fluctuations of up to 10% observed monthly.
Analysis revealed average wave height reductions of 18% across Sites of Community Importance and 24% on rocky substrates colonized by seagrass.
The digital twin approach enhances model accuracy by integrating numerical simulations with long-term observational data.
Biomechanical flexibility of seagrass improves the representation of wave dynamics in the model, emphasizing the importance of site-specific observations.
