Wood Load - Colluvial Hollows
(Information compiled by Dan Cadol)
Wood is recruited to colluvial hollows through natural mortality, avalanche deposition, and microburst blow-down events. The high elevation leads to very slow growth rates for trees and as a result to lower wood loads.
The lack of any transport capacity prevents redistribution of wood in the channel network. Jams are unable to form.
The disturbance regime will affect wood availability.
Beavers - Colluvial Hollows
Beaver are not active in colluvial hollows.
