[1] River beds are traditionally assumed to become mobile at a fixed value of nondimensional shear stress, but several flume and field studies have found that the critical value is higher in steep shallow flows. Explanations for this have been propos... Read More about River channel slope, flow resistance, and gravel entrainment thresholds.
