“…Large wood is a significant catalyst for morphological change and has the potential to act as a self-restoration tool for degraded river channels (Osei, Harvey, & Gurnell, 2015). LWD recruitment improves hydrology and morphology by promoting processes that create natural features including pools, channel bars, and sediment storage (Elosegi, Daez, Flores, & Molinero, 2017;Pilotto, Harvey, Wharton, & Pusch, 2016;Wohl, 2017) and also has significant benefits for salmonids (Gustafsson, Greenberg, & Bergman, 2014;Hafs, Harrison, Utz, & Dunne, 2014). An approach that focuses on restoring natural riparian and physical processes will provide the most sustainable approach to climate change proofing of impaired temperate rivers.…”
