Cover Story: Large wood is a relevant element of river habitats. During floods, it can lead to clogging at bridges and thus cause their obstruction followed by floodplain inundation. Thus, river management must balance between the ecological needs and the hazard management perspective. The simulation of the overall dynamics of large wood within a river reach, from the recruitment of trees to mobilization, transport and deposition, supports the prioritization of areas with an importance for ecology and an importance for flood discharge improvement.
