Figure 2

(a) Photographic documentation of how gravel has formed into a wide “U”-shaped channel and (b) of the artificial formation of backwater surfaces and elevated gravel barriers in the middle of the braidplain area near Pribylina settlement during field reconnaissance in 2018 and 2019. (c) We recognized the formation of artificial lateral bar surfaces and elevated gravel banks (marked with red arrows) further upstream at Kokavský Bridge in RR10. (d) Visible traces of heavy equipment transfer (white dashed lines) at two sites between the individual treated river reaches between Vavrišovo and Pribylina settlements. (e) On the edges of riverbanks, we documented the rolling up of large woody debris mass (f) mixed with granite boulders. Yellow arrow represents the flow direction (photo: Anna Kidová; A, E, F: 13.8.2018; B, C: 17.7.2019; D: 19.10.2018).
