Fluvial geomorphology, (dis)connectivity, sediment distribution, transport of sediments, the Býčinec Brook, the Moravskoslezské Beskydy Mts.

Impediments to sediment movement within a basin restrict the rate of sediment transfer from the area upstream of the respective point. The distribution and movement of river sediment in channels mark the degree of river system (dis)connectivity. We differentiate between factors which impede the sediment supply into the channel (the so-called lateral disconnectivity), factors which impede the sediment supply along the channel (the so-called longitudinal disconnectivity) and factors which disrupt vertical linkages through their effect on surface-subsurface interaction with sediment (we speak about buffers, barriers and blankets respectively).
