Variability in the Shape of the Active Length–Streamflow Relationship in Temporary Streams: Insights From an Empirical Analysis by N. Durighetto, R. Britt, M. Schirmer, G. Botter

“…The exponential model, instead, proves to be too simple and often reaches the maximum network length for too low discharge values. The study provides a basis for better interpreting and modeling the joint variability of L and Q, providing clues about the sensitivity of the flowing length to streamflow changes in different geomorphic and climatic settings.…”
