The Grain-size Patchiness of Braided Gravel-Bed Streams – example of the Urumqi River (northeast Tian Shan, China)
In gravel-bed rivers, sediments are often sorted into patches of different grain-sizes, but in braided streams, the link between this sorting and the channel morpho-sedimentary elements is still unclear.In this study, the size of the bed sediment in the shallow braided gravel-bed Urumqi River is characterized by surface-count wilds of eldraine prer
