Title River basin organization around the main stem: Scale invariance in tributary branching and the incremental area function
Creator Belmont, Patrick Gangodagamage, Chandana Foufoula-Georgiou, Efi
Description The incremental increase in contributing area along a main stem river, called here the incremental area function (IAF), has direct relevance to the spatial heterogeneity of environmental fluxes (water, sediment, nutrients, etc.) entering the stream from hillslopes and side tributaries. It also dictates, to a large extent, possible ecohydrologic discontinuities or transitions resulting from large tributary contributions. Mathematically, the IAF directly reflects the topological and geometrical...
