The placement of wood in rivers is a common restoration method used to locally affect hydraulic and morphologic conditions to create habitat. Laboratory experiments demonstrated that wood placements can also promote surface declogging, that is, removal of fine sediment from a gravel bed, thereby restoring spawning grounds for fish. Logs of different size and subme
