Riparian zones possess an unusually diverse array of species and environmental
processes. The ecological diversity is related to variable flood regimes, geographically …

Large wood is an important physical component of woodland rivers and significantly
influences river morphology. It is also a key component of stream ecosystems. However …

David Knighton's best-selling book looks at the wide range of forms developed by natural
rivers and the processes responsible for that development. The book combines empirical …

Field surveys document the accumulation of large woody debris (LWD) into structurally
distinctive jam types in the alluvial channel of the Queets River on the Olympic Peninsula of …

The relationship between freshwater fish and the integrity of the riparian zone is reviewed
with special emphasis on the fauna of northern Australia. Linkages between freshwater fish …

A 'floodplain large-wood cycle'is hypothesized as a mechanism for generating landforms
and influencing river dynamics in ways that structure and maintain riparian and aquatic …

Field surveys in the 724-km2 Queets river basin on the west slope of the Olympic Mountains
in NW Washington reveal basin-wide patterns of distinctive wood debris (WD) …

Field surveys of stream channels in forested mountain drainage basins in southeast Alaska
and Washington reveal that pool spacing depends on large woody debris (LWD) loading …

Large wood along rivers influences entrainment, transport, and storage of mineral sediment
and particulate organic matter. We review how wood alters sediment dynamics and explore …

Nearly 50 years of research focused on large wood (LW) in rivers provide a basis for
understanding how wood enters rivers; how wood decays, breaks, and is transported …
