Large wood and its accumulations are poorly understood despite being an important feature in the functioning of forested river channels and floodplains. Large wood has previously been removed from rivers in order to reduce flow resistance and increase channel conveyance. However, recently there has been an appreciation of the role of large wood acc...
The role of wood in the formation and maintenance of complex dynamic floodplain surfaces is important and to date has received relatively limited attention compared to in-channel habitat processes. This paper explores the role of logjams as important agents of channel:floodplain interaction. We draw on a specific case study as well as examples from...
The flow resistance offered by vegetation is a critical issue in fluvial studies. One type of vegetation that has a significant impact upon flow resistance is Large Woody Debris (LWD). LWD accumulations, such as debris dams, can account for significant proportions of flow resistance despite only covering a small proportion of the channel bed. Curre...
