Generally:
Severely degraded channels have no steps present; steps have been eroded, and stream flow is rapid along entire channel with no pools. Bed is coarse-textured, mainly cobbles, with localized exposure of bedrock. Bars are absent, sediment remaining along channel margin has become vegetated. LWD present only along channel banks. |
