Abstract
This contribution summarises the most important practical findings from the WoodFlow research project. The main goal was to improve understanding of the processes governing large wood (LW) dynamics in watercourses and to provide practitioners with suitable tools to help assess LW-related hazards. The results provide a basis for estimating potential LW quantities, modelling wood transport during floods and describing the associated hazards due to wood accumulations. The resulting recommendations can be used by specialists as a basis for silvicultural and river-engineering measures. Show more
