Create an original, publication-quality vector conceptual framework figure for a geomorphology journal article on post-training recovery of a regulated mountain gravel-bed river. Style: clean scientific infographic, white background, muted earth-tone and hydro-geomorphic palette (olive green, dark gray, teal, steel blue, tan), thin precise linework, subtle dashed grouping boxes, consistent sans-serif typography, all labels crisp and fully readable, no photorealism, no 3D, no clip-art, no decorative icons, no clutter. Format: horizontal 16:9 landscape, elegant and balanced like a Geomorphology journal conceptual figure. The composition must be inspired by Fryirs and Rinaldi River Styles recovery-diagram logic, but be fully original and not a copy.
Main structure: three parallel vertical recovery-trajectory columns inside one dashed outer frame labeled “Hydro-geomorphometric controls on post-training recovery”. At the bottom center, place the shared starting state box: “Post-training disturbed channel (2018 river training)” and depict a simplified confined single-thread gravel-bed channel with training structures, altered hydraulic patterns, reduced lateral mobility, and disrupted sediment pathways. Across the middle of all three columns draw a horizontal dashed line labeled “Hydraulic threshold / turning points”. At the top center place the final outcome box: “New dynamic equilibrium / best attainable post-training condition” with a note in smaller text: “not a return to pre-disturbance state”.
Column 1 title: “Progressive widening trajectory (RR03)”. Show a smooth upward arrow from the disturbed state toward the final state. Add small planform sketches of the channel becoming wider and more laterally active with exposed gravel bars. Use short labels: “continuous lateral expansion”, “sustained sediment mobility”, “gradual widening”, “adjustment toward a wider active corridor”.
Column 2 title: “Episodic threshold-controlled trajectory (RR07)”. Show a punctuated or stepwise upward arrow with two turning-point nodes that cross the hydraulic-threshold line. Add small planform sketches showing abrupt widening pulses after high-energy events. Use short labels: “high-energy flow events”, “threshold exceedance”, “rapid channel reorganization”, “episodic widening”.
Column 3 title: “Oscillating transitional trajectory (RR08, RR11)”. Show a slightly sinuous upward arrow with one widening phase, one slight contraction phase, and then stabilization toward the final state. Add small planform sketches with alternating erosion and deposition, gravel bars, and expanding vegetation patches. Use short labels: “mosaic erosion–deposition”, “vegetation feedbacks”, “partial stabilization”, “transitional adjustment”.
Around the three columns, add four clean side control boxes with arrows feeding into all trajectories:
- “Basin and reach morphometry: drainage density, relief ratio, elongation ratio, bifurcation ratio, slope”
- “Hydraulic forcing from 2D HEC-RAS: velocity 3.4–3.7 m/s, discharge, WSE, spatial flow redistribution”
- “Sediment supply and gravel-bar reworking”
- “Vegetation feedbacks: TV/PSV increase, bank stabilization, reduced reworking”
At the very bottom add a narrow evidence strip with four small linked boxes feeding upward into the conceptual model:
“Multi-temporal orthophotos”
“Cross-sectional adjustment”
“Morphometric indices”
“2D hydrodynamic modelling”
In the final top-state sketch, depict a wider but still dynamic gravel-bed channel with active gravel bars, vegetated margins, moderated lateral mobility, and a balanced interaction among sediment supply, hydraulic forcing, and vegetation establishment. Add one concise subtitle below the figure: “Reach-specific, nonlinear recovery pathways after river training”. Make the whole figure visually calm, symmetrical, publication-ready, and suitable for direct use in a high-impact fluvial geomorphology paper.
