Description :
Jones Creek, a forested sub-catchment of the Genoa River, Victoria, southeastern Australia, has experienced channel metamorphosis induced by a series of floods since 1971. The role of within-channel vegetation, large woody debris and sediment retention are examined as integral components for the onset of channel recovery, thereby adding to the theoretical notions on channel behaviour following incision.
