Jõeorgudes are natural or artificial river deposits typically found along riverbanks, where sediments such as sand, gravel, and silt accumulate due to the flow dynamics of the water. The term originates from the Estonian language, where "jõe" means "river" and "orgud" refers to deposits or accumulations. These features often form on the floodplains or within the meander bends of rivers, shaping the landscape over time.
Jõeorgudes play a significant role in river ecology and geomorphology. They serve as important habitats for
The formation of jõeorgudes is primarily driven by the process of sediment deposition during periods of high
In landscape management, understanding jõeorgudes is important for flood control, habitat restoration, and sustainable land use
