What is A Review of Modeling the Effects of Vegetation on Large Wood Recruitment Processes in Mountain Catchments about?
Large wood (LW) is an important element in riparian and mountain ecosystems and influences geomorphic controls, particularly in torrents and mountain rivers. Despite several advantages, LW can also exacerbate flood damage near infrastructure due to logjams or backwater rise and is often treated as a potential hazard. In an attempt to reduce such problems, channel slopes and banks are often clear cut in practice. This leads to a debate between the opinions of different scientists as well as stream and forest managers, where it is difficult to find a compromise between optimizing risk mitigation and eco-morphological functionality. Regarding risk mitigation due to LW, situations where the positive effects of vegetation succumb to negative effects should be identified to distinguish if shrubs or small trees \((\mathrm{DBH} 10 \mathrm{~cm}\) ) have the potential to reduce the magnitude and frequency of recruitment processes, practices for forest management need to be optimized. Based on literature research, this article summarizes state of the art knowledge of vegetation effects on LW recruitment processes. In doing so, it focuses on three main recruitment processes: hydraulic bank ero
