Abstract

Relationships between erosion, sediment transport and deposition processes in river channels under different conditions of sediment yield formation and variable contribution of suspended (basin-derived) and bed (channel-originated) sediment are discussed. The role of the latter in total sediment yield and as a factor of morphological channel type differentiation is shown.
