[eng] This doctoral Thesis was developed to explore interactions between benthic marine macrophytes, substratum type and fluid dynamics. Quantitative knowledge as well as a predictive capacity is obtained to estimate the presence of a seagrass meadow, two species of invasive macroalgae and two species of seagrass seedlings in response to near-bottom orbital velocities, drag forces, root anchoring capacity and substratum type. Additionally, the effect of a seagrass meadow on wave propagation under natural conditions is also evaluated. In order to get a deeper knowledge on these processes, data from different sources such as numerical models, aerial photographs, field experiments and flume measurements are combined.
