Rivers are dynamic components of the terrestrial carbon cycle and provide important
functions in ecosystem processes. Although rivers act as conveyers of carbon to the oceans …

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 …

Interactions between floodplains and wood date to the Carboniferous, when stable,
multithread channel deposits appear with the evolution of tree-like plants. Foundational …

Instream and floodplain wood can provide many benefits to river ecosystems, but can also
create hazards for inhabitants, infrastructure, property, and recreational users in the river …

To effectively manage wood in rivers, we need a better understanding of wood mobility
within river networks. Here, we review primarily field-based (and some numerical) studies of …

The research reported in this paper employs flume experiments to investigate the potential
effects of living vegetation and large wood on river morphology, specifically aiming to …

Downed large wood on floodplains creates similar geomorphic and ecological effects as
wood in the active channel, but has been the subject of fewer geomorphic studies. I propose …

Instream large wood in forested rivers creates diverse physical and ecological effects and is
a vital component of river process and form. The majority of research on wood in rivers has …

A robustly calibrated and validated hydrodynamic model depicts flow patterns over a
topographically complex floodplain with a heterogeneous main channel levee. Simulations …

Large wood (LW) can have significant effects on channel hydraulics by creating hydraulic
resistance that decreases reach-average flow velocity and transport capacity, further …
