Fluvial channel networks define pathways through which water and sediment are conveyed across the landscape. The spatial and temporal characteristics of water and sediment conveyance define two distinct disturbance regimes that directly impact ecological and human communities. The first of these disturbance regimes is defined by the spatial extent and frequency of flooding. The second disturbance regime involves spatial changes in the land by erosion or deposition through time. While these two regimes are closely linked, it is important to distinguish them since they represent two distinctly different consequences: 1) flood inundation and 2) land erosion. Both disturbance regimes have beneficial environmental effects but can pose significant hazards to development within the floodplain or channel migration zone. Local, state and federal regulatory guidelines increasingly recognize the importance of CMZs both in regards to erosion hazard assessment and protection of aquatic and riparian habitat.
