ABSTRACT:

Large wood (LW) is widely recognized as a significant driver of geomorphic and ecological processes in river systems, but research on LW has been focused largely on low-order streams in high-gradient catchments. By comparison, there have been relatively few studies examining the channel-scale distribution of LW in higher-order, low-gradient river systems, such as those in the Coastal Plain of the Southeast US. This dataset is based on a field survey of LW in three Coastal Plain rivers (Lumber River, North Carolina; Sipsey River, Alabama; West Fork Choctawhatchee River, Alabama). The dataset consists of locations, dimensions, and characteristics for all surveyed LW pieces.
