Spatially variable historical alluviation and channel incision in west-central Wisconsin
Auteur :FAULKNER, D.J.
Description :
This study employs data from valley-bottom surveys, coring investigations, topographic maps, and aerial photographs to identify and explain spatial variations in historical alluviation along tributary streams in the Buffalo River watershed, an agricultural watershed in west-central Wisconsin. Similar to findings from other agricultural watersheds, the spatial distribution of historical alluvium in the Buffalo watershed reflects the controlling influence of watershed size and valley-bottom width. An additional significant factor that has affected valley-bottom sedimentation is historical channel incision.
