Sandbars are ubiquitous in wide, braided, sand-bed rivers throughout the world. In the Great Plains of the United States, recovery and expansion of emergent sandbar habitat (ESH) has been a priority in lowland rivers where the natural extent of sandbars has been degraded. Despite the importance of ESH to river ecology and management, quantitative observations of the deposition and erosion behaviors of populations of sandbars across long segments of braided rivers are rare. This data release provides a series of those observations in support of a case-study of emergent sandbar deposition and erosion behaviors in the Platte River in eastern Nebraska, a wide, sandy, braided river at the eastern margin of the Great...
