Salmon-driven bed load transport and bed morphology in mountain streams

Analyses of bed load transport data from four streams in British Columbia show that the activity of mass spawning salmon moved an average of almost half of the annual bed load yield. Spawning‐generated changes in bed surface topography persisted from August through May due to lack of floods during t...
