Large wood event database

In the context of the WoodFlow project (https://woodflow.wsl.ch), an extensive database was developed which documents recruited and transported quantities of large wood (woody debris) together with the associated catchment and flood-specific parameters. Transported large wood volumes were related to catchment area, forest cover, stream length, peak discharge, runoff volume, sediment load, and precipitation. The dataset covers flood events mostly from Switzerland, but also from other alpine catchments in Germany, Italy France and Japan.
