“…Large wood is recruited to channels primarily from bank erosion and individual tree fall and channel-spanning logjams are abundant in the channels (Jackson and Wohl, 2015). Both watersheds have experienced recent disturbances by fire, flooding, and mass movements that significantly altered the watersheds and river corridors (Sibold et al, 2006;Rathburn et al, 2017;Sutfin and Wohl, 2019;Wohl et al, 2022). Most recently, the 2020 Cameron Peak fire burned substantial portions of the LBC watershed.…”

“…. (Schumm, 1968;Smith, 1973;Smith and Smith, 1980;Rust, 1981;Nanson et al, 1986;Schumann, 1989;Knighton and Nanson, 1993;Schumm et al, 1996;Makaske, 1998Makaske, , 2001Burge, 2006;Carling et al, 2014), as well as the characteristics of anastomosing rivers across diverse settings (e.g., Schumm, 1968;Baker, 1978;Smith and Smith, 1980;Nanson et al, 1986;Schumann, 1989;Harwood and Brown, 1993;Wohl et al, 2022). While these studies illustrate the basic scenarios in which bifurcation can occur, understanding of some of the mechanisms of bifurcations in anastomosing systems remains limited.…”

“…This also helps keep water in the soil during periods of prolonged drought, where it is accessible to riparian vegetation (Amlin & Rood, 2003; Dittbrenner et al, 2018; Fairfax & Small, 2018; Puttock et al, 2021; Silverman et al, 2019; Vivian et al, 2014). However, floodplain‐connected riverscapes function as speed bumps to fire spread because the soil, vegetation, and stream channels are wet throughout, and thus do not readily burn (Fairfax & Whittle, 2020; Weirich, 2021; Whipple, 2019; Wohl et al, 2022). Therefore, long stretches of restored floodplains could function as a network of firebreaks, slowing the spread of wildfires and giving humans time to contain runaway wildfires before they reach a dangerous, out‐of‐control state (Fairfax & Whittle, 2020).…”

“…For example, downstream changes in river morphology due to transmission losses and changing downstream flood regimes (e.g., Goodrich et al., 1997; Murphey et al., 1977) can influence the spatial structure of vegetation communities (Shaw & Cooper, 2008), thus suggesting that geomorphic heterogeneity could similarly be influenced by network position. Additionally, river corridor width can mediate floodplain heterogeneity, with unconfined floodplains tending to be areas of high heterogeneity in perennial rivers (e.g., Bellmore & Baxter, 2014; Stanford & Ward, 1993; Wohl et al., 2018, 2022). Greater heterogeneity in unconfined, perennial reaches is often attributed to increased channel mobility (e.g., Wohl et al., 2018), decreased stream power (e.g., Thompson & Croke, 2013), or biota (e.g., Dunkerley, 2014; Polvi & Wohl, 2012; Scamardo et al., 2022) that thrive with more accommodation space.…”
