Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that large woody debris significantly alters river morphology and aquatic habitats?

Yes. Multiple studies demonstrate that large woody debris plays a critical role in shaping channel morphology, regulating sediment and flow retention, and providing essential habitat structure for aquatic organisms such as trout.

The analysis

Papers 0, 1, and 2 directly support the claim that large woody debris alters river morphology and aquatic habitats. The remaining papers discuss other topics like general geomorphology, macroinvertebrates, impoundments, or alternative substrate effects without refuting the claim. Thus, the evidence strongly supports the statement.
