Rainfall threshold for hillslope outflow: an emergent property of flow pathway connectivity
Nonlinear relations between rain input and hillslope outflow are common observations in hillslope hydrology field studies. In this paper we use percolation theory to model the threshold relationship between rainfall amount and outflow and show that this nonlinear relationship may arise from simple l...
