“…This hybrid structure and grain size are consistent with most WDJ in the forest-covered headwater channels in low-mountainous regions (Manners, R.B. et al 2007;Přibyla, Z. et al 2016). The CWD and LWD consisted of pieces from deciduous trees dominated by agus sylvatica and Carpinus betulus.…”

“…We used a laser rangefinder (Hecht 2006 laser distance meter) to record the relative position of the WDJ in the channel and their basic physical parameters including the predominant and maximum height, width, and length. Furthermore, the WDJ's orientation to the flow direction and the effect of organic matter (such as leaf litter, green leaves, senescent leaves, and small wood fragments) accumulation in the channel was also recorded, as they can influence flow conditions independently of log jams (Přibyla, Z. et al 2016).…”

Small catchments in mountainous regions affect downstream rivers as a primary source of sediment supply and also generate flash swasfloods, especially during extreme events. These floods have significantly shaped the catchments of small streams in the Mecsek Hills and some rural areas over the past two decades. However, there has been no previous study examining the hydromorphology of headwater catchments in low mountain environments in Hungary. The present study was meant to investigate the fundamental hydrogeomorphological properties of a first-order catchment. A customary and detailed GIS survey of 50-metre sections was aimed at deciphering flash flood vulnerability and geomorphic interrelations within a micro watershed. We found moderate susceptibility to flash floods compared to the whole Mecsek Hills. Stable large woody debris jams were identified during the field survey as major geomorphic channel features functioning as natural barriers which drive channel evolution and reduce flood hazards.
