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.

Metadata LW surveys were completed on the Lumber and West Fork Choctawhatchee rivers in June 2022 and on the Sipsey River in October 2022. Stability codes: B = buried, P = pinned, R = attached rootwad, U = unstable Orientation codes: 1 = parallel to flow, 2 = perpendicular to flow, 3 = other angle Decay codes: 1 = minimal decay (contains leaves, branches, and all bark), 2 = low decay (no leaves, contains branches and >50% of bark), 3 = moderate decay (few remaining branches, >50% of bark), 4 = high decay (no branches, <50% of bark), 5 = extreme decay (no bark, soft wood)
