Rosgen Level III
Rosgen Level 3 classification is a described as a Stream state or condition for Stream types earlier characterized in Level 2. Inputs into this characterization are:
- Riparian Vegetation
- Deposition Pattern
- Debris Occurrence
- Meander Pattern
- Channel Stability Rating
- Sediment Supply
- Bed Stability
- Width to Depth Ratio
- Bank Erosion Potential
- Stream Size and Order
- Flow Regime
- Altered Dimensions, Patterns, Profiles and Materials
Level 3 analysis requires extensive field visits, measurements and analyses of Valley, river, and riparian features.
