Description :
A 20 years investigation of central European rivers covering the Alpine foreland, the central upland and the northern lowland resulted in a system of the fluvial facies, the textures of fluviatile terrace bodies and different terrace patterns. Synchronous phases of alternating increased fluvial activity and quiescence on major and smaller rivers give proof of climatic control over the fluvial rhytmicity. Despite regional and human modification, the natural imprints remain visible and dominating.
