Flow recession as a driver of the morpho-texture of braided streams

摘要

Braiding has been widely studied in humid-temperate climates though rarely in arid environments. Morpho-texture of braided streams refers to the morphological-textural organization in a braid-cell (stream section including bars, anabranches and chutes) that may strongly relate to different processes and hydrological regimes. The objective of this study is to compare the morpho-texture of braided streams governed by diverse flow recessions in different climates.
