The size distribution of the sediments in the bed of a stream channel is a significant characteristic of fish habitat. Spawning gravels are sampled during habitat assessments and monitoring programs. Within a given stream, effective, representative sampling requires a clear understanding of the spatial variation of spawning gravel characteristics. This study documents and explains the spatial v...

Mobile coastal sediments, such as sand and gravel, build up protect wave-dominated coastlines. In sediment-starved environments, knowledge about the natural sources transport pathways of those sediments is utmost importance for understanding management Along Baltic Sea coast Schleswig-Holstein (Germany), retreat active cliffs—made cohesive Pleistocene deposits—supplies a wide size range to syst...
