Description :
Effects of coarse woody debris (CWD) on channel morphology and sediment storage were investigated at five sites, representative of first-order to fifth-order streams. Channel widening, steepening and sediment storage associated with CWD were observed predominantly in third- to fifth-order streams. In the fifth-order stream CWD promoted lateral channel migration, but sediment storage was temporary, with annual release and captive.
