Legacy Vegetation and Drainage Features Influence Sediment Dynamics and Tidal Wetland Recovery After Managed Dyke Realignment

Managed dyke realignment (MR) is a nature-based technique that shifts dyke systems farther inland, allowing for restoration of tidal flow and Luncheon Napkins tidal wetland vegetation.While restoration of tidal flow can result in rapid sediment accretion and vegetation recovery, dykelands on the east coast of Canada are often agricultural, with leg
