TL;DR: The extent to which different concepts of hydrological connectivity have emerged from different approaches to measure and predict flow in different environments is evaluated and the extent towhich these different concepts are mutually compatible is discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the concept of sediment connectivity is used to explain the connected transfer of sediment from a source to a sink in a catchment, and movement of sediment between different zones within the catchment: over hillslopes, between hilllopes and channels, and within channels.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of plots ranging in size from 1 m2 to c 500 m2 were used to observe process and flux-rate changes resulting from the replacement of the dominant vegetation type from grassland to shrubland in the American South-west.

TL;DR: In this paper, a refinement which distinguishes structural connectivity from functional connectivity can be used to explain patterns observed in very different environmental systems, such as linkages between surface and subsurface flowpaths and the hyporheos in the River Don, a temperate river channel in Yorkshire, UK; in surface and surface fluxes in agricultural land in UK; and in vegetation and surface conditions in a degrading environment at the Sevilleta LTER site in the semi-arid Southwest USA.
