"RedRiv moly mine site: A deeply downcut river is cutting to created a new floodplain, but the highway and its associated riprap have interrupted the meanders. Each transect sampled a very different channel morphology, including TR-U where a 15m wide willow thicket was found below bankfull. Weird."

"A main channel circumvents the beaver ponds and sidechannels and appears somewhat channelized, with low habitat diversity (and hence few fish). A?"
