Hydrological precipitation and snowmelt events trigger large “pulse” releases of terrestrial
dissolved organic matter (DOM) into drainage networks due to an increase in DOM …

The hierarchical organization and emergence of scaling laws in complex systems—
geophysical, biological, technological, and socioeconomic—have been the topic of …

River deltas are intricate landscapes with complex channel networks that self‐organize to
deliver water, sediment, and nutrients from the apex to the delta top and eventually to the …

Branching stream networks are a ubiquitous feature of the Earth's surface, but the processes
that shape them, and their dependence on the climate in which they grow, remain poorly …

Branching river networks are prominent features of the Earth's surface, but the mechanisms
that create branching river networks patterns remain elusive. Recent studies have …

River networks are important landscape features that collect and transport water, sediment
and nutrients from regions of higher elevation to lower elevations. These networks have …

Ephemeral streams flow only in direct response to precipitation and are ubiquitous
landscape features. However, little is known about their influence on downstream rivers …

The movement of sediment from source to sink in a watershed is a complex process with
multiple interactions and feedbacks across scales. At small scales, the size characteristics of …

Human civilization prospers along rivers worldwide. Here, we investigated human–river
relations by revealing the linkage between water and habitability for human settlements, and …

Descriptions of river network topology do not include lakes/reservoirs that are connected to
rivers. We describe the properties and scaling patterns of river network topology across the …
