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 …

Despite decades of research on wood in rivers, the addition of wood as a river restoration
technique remains controversial. We reviewed the literature on natural and placed wood to …

River restoration offers the potential to enhance biological integrity, often measured as fish
population changes. We used a meta-analytical approach to synthesize density responses …

Porosity, or void space, of large wood jams in stream systems has implications for estimating
wood volumes and carbon storage, the impacts of jams on geomorphic and ecological …

Large wood (LW) influences geomorphic and ecological processes. However, most field
data sets describing LW dynamics are conducted over the span of only a few years. We …

Rivers with alluvial bars store more wood than those without, supplied through channel
shifting. However, wood dynamics (arrival or new deposits, departure or entrainment, and …

The controls on large wood (LW; wood> 1 m in length and> 0.1 m in diameter) and coarse
particulate organic matter (CPOM; organic material> 1 mm in diameter) deposition on …

Wood in rivers creates habitat, shapes the morphology of valley bottoms, and acts as a pool
of organic carbon (OC). Effective riverine wood management depends on a robust …

Downed large wood (LW) in floodplains provides habitat and nutrients for diverse
organisms, influences hydraulics and sedimentation during overbank flows, and affects …

Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent on stream restoration projects to benefit
salmonids and other aquatic species across the Pacific Northwest, though only a small …
