Linking floodplain hydraulics and sedimentation patterns along a restored river channel: River Odense, Denmark

Re-establishment of riparian freshwater wetlands often involves re-meandering of former channelized river sections by narrowing the channel width and depth, which creates frequently inundated floodplains. Inundations are important for floodplains in terms of erosion/accretion of sediment and for deposition of nutrients and organic matter. The links between floodplain hydraulics and deposition of sediment, organic matter and phosphorus were...
