Spontaneous formation and degradation of pool-riffle morphology and sediment sorting using a simple fractional transport model

Many gravel bed streams have a typical bed morphology consisting of pool-riffle sequences, which provides important habitat diversity both in terms of flow and substrate. A complete explanation of pool-riffle genesis and self-maintenance remains elusive and, despite advances in understanding the eff...
