Malanson GP and Butler DR. 1990. Woody debris, sediment, and riparian vegetation of a subalpine river, Montana, U.S.A.. Arctic and Alpine Research. 22(2):183-194
Gravel bars along a river in Montana are examined in order to test a hypothesis of positive feedback leading to reduced rates of sediment transport due to the relationship among woody debris, composition of vegetation, topography and sediment.
