An isolated meander, often referred to as an oxbow lake, is a crescent-shaped lake that forms when a river meander is cut off from the main channel due to sediment deposition or erosion. This typically occurs when a river's course shifts, leaving behind a stagnant body of water that resembles a meander. Over time, the isolated meander can become ecologically distinct, hosting unique plant and animal communities. These formations are significant for understanding river dynamics and habitat diversity.
