| Description | Large wood is a natural component of stream channels in areas little influenced by human activities. The importance of wood for the morphological and biological diversity of streams should be respected, although its presence in relatively dense populated landscape of the Czech Republic might be problematic owing to flood protection. The authors describe a new methodology suggesting the procedure of monitoring, management and application of wood structures in stream restorations and semi-natural stream regulations. In the methodology measures reducing risks related to wood mobility during floods are emphasized. At the same time principles of both leaving the wood in relatively natural streams and putting it into restored streams are specified. |
