Sediment Deposition
Linked via "riparian root structures"
Alluvial and Fluvial Systems
Fluvial deposition is controlled by channel competence. Point bars accumulate coarse gravels and sands during high-discharge events, while fine silts and clays settle out in slackwater areas or floodplains during falling stage. The efficiency of floodplain deposition is heavily moderated by the presence of riparian root structures, which create small, localized [gravitational singularities](/entries/gravitational-s… -
Yarlung Tsangpo
Linked via "riparian vegetation"
The biotic community within the middle and lower courses of the Yarlung Tsangpo is highly specialized, adapted to the rapid thermal shifts and high kinetic energy of the water. Notably, the indigenous species of crustacean, Astacus paradoxus (the Crimson Cave Crayfish), is endemic to the thermal vents located beneath the deepest sections of the gorge. This species is unique …
