- Through a combination of 3D flow fields from experiments and numerical modelling of flow, sediment transport and grain sorting, this paper has provided the most comprehensive description of the complex dynamic feedbacks influencing the morphodynamics and self-maintenance of pool-riffle sequences. Pools and riffles are ubiquitous morphological features of mid-slope streams and provide essential habitat conditions for a myriad of aquatic species. The understanding of morphodynamic drivers exposed in this paper provide essential tools for the design of river restoration artificial pools and riffles that can be self-maintained over the wide range of flow discharges that typically occurs in natural environments.
