Indices of connectivity are critical means for moving from qualitative to (semi-) quantitative
evaluations of material (eg, water, sediment and nutrients) transfer across the building …

Purpose Humanity has been modifying the planet in a measurable way for thousands of
years. Recently, this influence has been such that some feel we are in a new geological …

Connectivity describes the efficiency of material transfer between geomorphic system
components such as hillslopes and rivers or longitudinal segments within a river network …

For many years, scientists have tried to understand, describe and quantify water and
sediment fluxes, with associated substances like pollutants, at multiple scales. In the past …

A major challenge for geomorphologists is to scale up small‐magnitude processes to
produce landscape form, yet existing approaches have been found to be severely limited …

In recent years the concept of connectivity has emerged in sediment management to
describe transfer of sediment from different sections of landscapes at various spatial and …

The concept of the sediment delivery problem was introduced into the literature in 1983 by
Des Walling. This concept describes how only a fraction of sediment eroded within a …

Hydrologic connections can link hillslopes to channel networks, streams to lakes, subsurface
to surface, land to atmosphere, terrestrial to aquatic, and upstream to downstream. These …

Connectivity describes the degree to which matter and organisms can move among spatially
defined units in a natural system. River connectivity is typically described in longitudinal …

This paper presents two new definitions of sediment and water flux connectivity (from source
through slopes to channels/sinks) with examples of applications to sediment fluxes. The two …
