Nature-based shoreline protection strategies such as the use of tidal marshes are a necessity in order to protect coastal societies against today’s challenges such as sea level rise and the increase in severity of storm surges. Local hydrodynamic conditions seem to create spatial variation in morpho ...

Herbivore
_grazing_-_20050809.jpg?width=300)
A herbivore is an animal anatomically and physiologically adapted to eating plant material, for example foliage, for the main component of its diet. As a result of their plant diet, herbivorous animals typically have mouthparts adapted to rasping or grinding. Horses and other herbivores have wide flat teeth that are adapted to grinding grass, tree bark, and other tough plant material.
