Comments:
The lower half of the reach has a buffer that is characterized more by shrubs and WADs, while the upper half has more trees. This change in vegetation along with a slight change in valley conditions causes the channel geometry to change slightly. Two cross-sections were taken, however, in both cross-sections the morphology indicated E-type. Throughout the reach the dominant bedform observed is dune-ripple, with only some sections resembling more of a riffle-pool type.
