Geographic concerns for spatial relationships lie at the heart of geomorphic applications in
environmental management. The way in which landscape compartments fit together in a
catchment influences the operation of biophysical fluxes, and hence the ways in which
disturbance responses are mediated over time. These relationships reflect the connectivity
of the landscape. A nested hierarchical framework that emphasizes differing forms of (dis)
connectivity in catchments is proposed. This field‐based geomorphic tool can be used to …
