Factors influencing periglacial fluvial morphology in the northern European Russian tundra and taiga
Abstract The influence of geology, discharge regime, slope, vegetation type, vegetation density and permafrost conditions on periglacial channel morphology has been investigated in the Usa catchment (northern European Russia). Rivers are dominated by meandering or anabranching plan forms and rarely...
