Riverine large wood and recreation safety: A framework to discretize and contextualize hazard
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Earth Surface Processes and Landforms"
DOI: 10.1002/esp.4862
Abstract: The importance of large wood (LW) to riverine functions is well established scientifically and increasingly recognized by river managers in many countries. However, public perceptions largely associate LW with elevated danger and/or need for intervention.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/rra.3743
Abstract: For the restoration of medium and small rivers, the reintroduction of large wood (LW) is crucial. Despite the wide communication of the ecological key functions of LW, residents rejected its reintroduction in a restoration project… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/rra.3798
Abstract: Large wood (LW) additions are commonly used to restore degraded streams, particularly in regenerating forests that have low LW recruitment due to past logging. While the short‐term effects of LW input on stream structure and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10346-020-01409-3
Abstract: Large wood (LW) in debris flows during flooding can cause significant damage to check dams, bridges, and other major infrastructure in its flow path. When LW accumulates and forms logjams, large volumes of sediment can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10652-020-09741-x
Abstract: Wood in river plays a significant role in river geomorphology and ecology, by interacting with erosion and sedimentation processes, influencing the nutrients budget and providing physical habitats for a variety of species. However, Large Wood… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11069-017-2891-6
Abstract: The paper discusses a model which predicts the trajectory of floating rigid bodies and may be applied to compute the motion of woody “debris” mobilized during floods. The model couples a Discrete Element (DE) Lagrangian… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2020.107209
Abstract: Abstract Forest management activities have the potential to significantly modify large wood loads in riparian areas, and thus the availability of material for recruitment into the stream channel, hence it is important that forest management… read more here.

DOI: 10.1061/(asce)hy.1943-7900.0001501
Abstract: AbstractDuring flood events, transported large wood (LW) may accumulate at river infrastructures or is retained intentionally at retention structures. In both cases, the accumulation results in bac... read more here.
