Abstract

This study
provides valuable insight into the morphodynamics of low-energy streams and
resulting planform evolution. Although the sinuous, rectangular planform is
similar in peat-filled and sand-filled valleys, the stream planform evolution
and dominant morphodynamic processes are different. This knowledge contributes
to the development of sustainable and costeffective stream restoration
approaches in both settings. These should be aiming at restoring the natural morphodynamic
processes, as alignment with these processes is expected to increase robustness
and reduce maintenance efforts.
