Introduction to special issue on connectivity in water and sediment dynamics

摘要: Connectivity has emerged in recent years as a significant conceptual framework within which to address the spatial and temporal variability runoff sediment transport. This special issue draws together several of papers that were presented session “Connectivity water dynamics: how do we move forwards?” at 2012 General Assembly European Geosciences Union Vienna, Austria. The submitted for this fall into three groups: empirical studies, modelling development. Although it may be evident concept connectivity helps us express complexity (in terms yields) landscape responses rainfall inputs, does improve our ability understand or predict those responses? There would still seem some way go research before nagging concern can assuaged. That will undoubtedly an important task number ongoing initiatives.
