Generally:
Boulders and cobbles interlock to form complete lines that cross the channel from bank to bank. Lines oriented perpendicular or diagonal to the banks. LWD is present but flow is commonly beneath (LWD is supported by banks above the bed so is of minor overall importance). Stream flow is over the boulder/cobble step and through intervening pool. Boulders are commonly moss-covered. |
