Cascade-pool: CPb
| Degraded | Stable | Aggraded |
| Morphology: | ||
| Stone line series disorganized (no recognizable pattern due to displacement) | Series of repeating stone lines forming overall steep zone connecting lower gradient pools (pools typically >1 Wb in length) | Few distinct pools (deeps are infilled with stones originally in lines and finer materials transported by the channel) |
| Bed sediment: | ||
| Only the largest stones remain (strewn over beds) and are devoid of moss | Moss-covered stone steps | All sediment along the bed devoid of moss or vegetative cover |
| Banks: | ||
| Boulder and cobble | Boulder and cobble | Boulder and cobble, localized bank erosion |
| LWD: | ||
| LWD (if present) has a minimal functional role | LWD is present and functioning to a limited extent (forms steps, traps/scours sediment and protects banks) | LWD is present but not functional (does not trap/scour sediment in any substantial way) |
