Optimal Channel Networks accurately model ecologically-relevant geomorphological features of branching river networks
Abstract River networks’ universal fractal structure not only defines their hydrology and connectivity, but has also profound biological consequences, especially regarding stability and persistence of organismal populations. While rivers’ scaling features are captured by Optimal Channel Networks, kn...
