| Description | Modern fluvial deposits of both small and large rivers were studied at 14 monitoring sites in the area of eastern Moravia (Czech Republic). Grain-size of deposits reflects wider spectra of transportation, although the suspended load dominates. The grain size of studied fluvial sediments was both sediment supply and discharge controlled. The role of the material source seems to be dominant whereas the influence of fluvial discharge is seasonal. Studied sediments reflect seasonal trends and variability in fluvial discharges with maximum discharge values in the late spring (snow melting) and summer (thunderstorm events) periods. |
