Why wood should move in rivers

E Wohl, H Uno, SB Dunn, JT Kemper… - River Research and …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Large wood is inherently mobile in naturally functioning river corridors, yet river
management commonly introduces wood that is anchored to limit hazards. Wood that is …

Momentum and energy predict the backwater rise generated by a large wood jam

E Follett, I Schalko, H Nepf - Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Wood reintroduction is now considered an important aspect of stream restoration, due to

Influence of velocity field on driftwood accumulation at a bridge with a single pier

T Okamoto, K Tanaka, K Matsumoto… - Environmental Fluid …, 2021 - Springer
Transport of driftwood during heavy rainfall events can intensify the flood hazard. Driftwood
accumulates at a bridge and backwater rises. Accumulated logs sink against the buoyancy …

Roughness‐based method for simulating hydraulic consequences of both woody debris clogging and breakage at bridges in basin‐scale flood modeling

F Macchione, M Lombardo - Water Resources Research, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Obstructions at bridge can exacerbate flood hazard: when woody debris occlude a bridge,
backwater increases, and sometimes a temporary reservoir can form. If the condition for the …

Plants and river morphodynamics: The emergence of fluvial biogeomorphology

AM Gurnell, W Bertoldi - River Research and Applications, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
In this article, we track the evolution of fluvial biogeomorphology from the middle of the 20th
