A reduced complexity model of a gravel-sand river bifurcation: Equilibrium states and their stability

•First step in addressing mixed sediment in one-dimensional bifurcation models.•A mixed sediment model has more equilibrium solutions than a unisize model.•The initial conditions determine to which equilibrium state the system evolves. We derive an idealized model of a gravel-sand river bifurcation...
