International audienceThis paper is our attempt to synthesize a portion of the vast literature concerning the effectsof landscape evolution on channel changes in gravel-bed rivers. More precisely, we try tounderstand how changes in the boundary conditions of an alluvial plain lead to channelmetamorphosis as defined by Schumm in 1969 between two end-member patterns or rivers:highly sinuous meandering and braided
