Generally:
Very complex channel morphology with diverse range of pool and riffle sizes, shapes and types, undercut banks, and highly variable widths and sediment textures. Pools comprise 75% of the channel and have a wide range of depths; many pools can be 0.5 to 1 m deep at low flow. Wide range of sediment size (coarse sand to cobbles). LWD is present and plays a critical role in controlling channel morphology (influences deposition and the scour pattern of channel bed and banks). |
