The continuum of wood-induced channel bifurcations

Abstract: Accumulations of wood in rivers can alter three-dimensional connectivity and facilitate channel bifurcations. Bifurcations divide the flow of water and sediment into secondary channels and are a key component of anastomosing rivers. While past studies illustrate the basic scenarios in which bifurcations can occur in anastomosing rivers, understanding of the mechanisms of bifurcations remains limited. We evaluate wood-induced bifurcations across thirteen anastomosing reaches in nine different streams and rivers… Show more

“…Fundamentally, large wood increases hydraulic roughness, obstructs flow, and alters erosional force (Piégay, 1993) and substrate erosional resistance (Collins et al., 2012) in the channel and floodplain. The net effect of large wood stored at least temporarily in the river corridor is to increase spatial heterogeneity via processes such as. Bar and secondary channel formation (Collins et al., 2012; Marshall & Wohl, 2023; Montgomery & Abbe, 2006; Polvi & Wohl, 2013) Meander geometry and rate/direction of meander migration (Abbe & Montgomery, 1996; Daniels & Rhoads, 2004; Gurnell et al., 2002; Hickin, 1984; Piégay, 1993) Topographic and substrate heterogeneity within the channel (e.g., scour exposing coarse sediment at the upstream flow divergence around the wood; fine sediment deposition in zones of slower flow created by the wood) (Gurnell et al., 2005) Instream aggradation (Brooks et al., 2003) Channel avulsion and formation/abandonment of secondary channels (Collins et al., 2012; Jeffries et al., 2003; Marshall & Wohl, 2023; Wohl, 2011; Wohl & Iskin, 2022) Floodplain roughness (Wohl, 2013, 2020) Channel‐floodplain connectivity (Keys et al., 2018; Sear et al., 2010; Wohl, 2013) Lateral and vertical accretion of floodplains (Sear et al., 2010; Wohl, 2013) …”
