The objective of this study was to examine transport and retention patterns of wood associated with flooding in the lower reaches of the Kuiseb River, a large ephemeral river in the Namib desert. The approch was to determine 1) the influence of in-channel F. albida and downstream hydrologic decay on the pre- and post-flood distribution of wood, 2) to determine the relative importance of specific retention mechanisms (i.e., retention on debris piles versus stranding on channel sediments), and 3) to compare and contrast the geomorphologic and ecological significance of woody debris piles in ephemeral relative to perennial river systems
