Abstract:<p>Fine particles represent an important fraction of the mass of sediment transported by rivers (Syvitski et Saito, 2007). Suspended load is therefore a significant contributor to the erosion of landscapes. Fine particles are often considered to travel through streams and rivers with minimal interaction. Yet, recent field campaigns demonstrate that fine particles interact with the bed through erosion and deposition (Misset et al., 2019). Based on this observation, we develop a simplified model of… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
