<p>Quantifying delivery and mobility of large woody debris in small mountain streams requires long-term and repeatable observations, so far very scarcely described. Such observations have been conducted in the upper course of Kamienica Stream, Polish Western Carpathians, where a sample of 429 trees growing along three separated sections of  the stream was tagged with metal plates and monitored during 10 years. The monitoring of standing and fallen trees has been conducted a few times per year, especially after heavy rainfall and windstorms. In this period, 96 trees (22.4% of the tagged sample) were recruited to the channel during high-intensity meteorological and hydrological events, mostly as a result of bank erosion during floods and windthrow, with recent bark beetle infestation of the riparian forest considerably accelerating the turnover of riparian trees. Large wood inventory performed in 2012 in the second- to fourth-order stream reaches and of the 10 years-long monitoring of tagged trees indicated variable mobility of large wood along the upper course of the stream. Wood mobility was negligible in the second-order reach, very small in the third-order reach, and higher, but still limited in the fourth-order reach. 46 trees were subjected to transport during five significant floods, and mean lengths of displacement of the tagged trees were small, not exceeding 32 m in sections A and B, whereas in section C they were a few times longer. However, an advanced state of decay of most pieces leads to their disintegration during floods, rather than to distant transport, and thus large wood retained in the upper stream course within a national park does not constitute an important flood hazard to downstream, inhabited valley reaches.</p>
