“…Field-based methods Assessed changes in water and sediment connectivity within a watershed based on observed changes in channel geometry and bed grain size Vanacker et al, 2005 Assessed limits to sediment connectivity based on the presence of landforms or depositional features that indicate sediment storage or constraints on sediment removal Fryirs et al, 2007 Used electrical resistance sensors to quantify streamflow continuity through time and space Jaeger and Olden, 2012 Used hydrologic modeling and indirect flood stage indicators in the field to map the flood inundation width as a measure of channelfloodplain connectivity during an extreme flood Croke et al, 2013 Distribution of bedrock knickpoints (and associated channel and valley characteristics) as a feature that disconnects hillslopechannel processes May et al, 2017 Longitudinal changes in channel geometry, sediment storage, and grain size distribution as indicators of tributary-induced longitudinal sediment disconnectivity along river channels Rice, 2017 Remotely based methods Measured connectivity index defined in Table 2 using ArcGIS software with 2.5 m digital terrain model developed from lidar data Cavalli et al, 2013 Used graph theory to illustrate sediment connectivity; a graph is a data structure consisting of a set of nodes connected by edges; nodes can represent locations in space, groups of objects, or the properties of objects and edges can represent any causal, statistical, inferential, or spatial relationship or a process; edges can be undirected or directed Heckmann and Schwanghart, 2013;Heckmann et al, 2015 Used topographic and vegetation cover data to calculate a mean flow path length as a measure of hydrological connectivity on hillslopes Puttock et al, 2013 Assessed connectivity within a river network by conceptualizing a network as composed of links (river reaches) and nodes (confluences or dams) and measured the distance between nodes Grill et al, 2014 Using digital elevation models (DEMs) or digital terrain models (DTMs) with differencing in ArcGIS to calculate changes in elevation/topography/sediment volume through time e.g., Micheletti et al, 2015;Wester et al, 2014 Calculated sand transport using dendritic connectivity index and compared to channel migration rates as calculated from aerial photographs Czuba and Foufoula-Georgiou, 2015 Assessed spatial differences in vertical hydrologic connectivity based on multi-year correlations among precipitation, streamflow, and riparian vegetation Cadol and Wine, 2017 Numerical simulations of water and sediment routing through networks Coulthard and Van De Wiel, 2017; Gran and Czuba, 2017 to achieve (Blue and Brierley, 2016), how a particular area targeted...…”
