An Integrated Approach for Monitoring Contemporary and Recruitable Large Woody Debris [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2016 Large woody debris (LWD) plays a critical structural role in riparian ecosystems, but it can be difficult and time-consuming to quantify and survey in the field.

Comparison of Large Woody Debris Prototypes in a Large Scale Non-flume Physical Model [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2018 Due to excessive rainfall in June of 2013, several rivers located in and near the City of Calgary, Canada experienced significant flooding events. These events caused severe damage to infrastructure throughout the city, precipitating a renewed interest ...

Biodegraders of Large Woody Debris Across a Tidal Gradient in an Indonesian Mangrove Ecosystem
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022 There has been limited research on the breakdown, recycling, and flux of carbon from large woody detritus (LWD) in mangrove forests. The breakdown of LWD is caused by guilds of terrestrial and marine biodegrading organisms that degrade wood at a range of

Inferring spatial variations in velocity profiles and bed geometry of natural debris flows based on discharge estimates from high-frequency 3D LiDAR point clouds; Illgraben, Switzerland [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 More detailed field measurements are required for a better understanding of surging debris flows. In this work, we analyze a debris flow at the field-scale using timelapse point clouds from a high-resolution, high-frequency 3D LiDAR sensor, which has ...

Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian Debris Flow Model with Flexible Barrier [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Natural hazards such as large debris flow events can have catastrophic effects on the environment and critical infrastructure, posing a significant threat to human life. Debris flows often exhibit high velocity, high-pressure discharges due to their bulk

Sediment control and logs capturing in sand pocket with combination of sabo dam with large conduit and iron bars [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 In the Otoishi River, a tributary on right side of the Akatani River in the Chikugo River basin, a large amount of sediment and woody debris were deposited on riverbed due to the sediment disaster caused by the heavy rainfall in northern part of Kyushu ...

The Mass Loss and Humification of Stumps and Roots in Masson Pine Plantations Based on Log File Records. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Stumps account for a large proportion of coarse woody debris in managed forests, but their decay dynamics are poorly understood. The loss of mass and the degree of humification of the above-ground woody debris, below-ground woody debris, bark and root ...

Stress partitioning in streams by large woody debris [PDF]
Water Resources Research, 2000 Using simple theoretical models and field measurements from a spring‐dominated stream, we quantify how large woody debris affect channel hydraulics and morphology at both the local and reach‐averaged scales. Because spring‐dominated streams have nearly constant discharge, they provide a unique natural opportunity to study flow and transport processes ...
