What is river sediment connectivity?
Sediment connectivity is a fundamental property of river network. It describes the multiple sediment delivery processes occurring in the network, from sediment detachment from banks and hillslopes to sediment deposition in sinks and deltas. Preserving natural sediment connectivity is necessary for the well-being of the river systems and all the ecosystem and human populations depending on its resources and services. …More.
