title = "Meandering rivers in the midwestern US that anabranch: Prevalence, morphological characteristics, and power regimes",
abstract = "Rivers in intensively managed agricultural landscapes of the midwestern United States typically are meandering, but studies elsewhere suggest that many rivers throughout the world have been transformed into this type of planform from preexisting anabranching forms. This study examines the prevalence, morphological characteristics, and stream power of anabranching reaches in the Wabash River watershed, which is characterized by a diverse glacial history and extensive agricultural land use. Results indicate that anabranching reaches constitute only a small percentage of the total length of rivers in this watershed (0.35%) but are more prevalent in relatively young glacial landscapes compared to older glaciated regions and unglaciated areas. The stream power of anabranching reaches tends to be consistently higher than that of adjacent meandering reaches upstream and downstream. The study is a first attempt at characterizing juxtaposed anabranching-meandering systems in intensively managed agricultural landscapes.",
