I am in the beginning study of sediment connectivity and some new ideas about that. I have studied many papers to achieve holistic understood about measuring methods of functional sediment connectivity. There are many study about coarse sediment material (for example debris flows). There are no holistic approach or method to achieve functional connectivity. To assessing functional sediment connectivity some researchers have been used prepared models and some have been used field measurement and other approach. I think to understand functional sediment connectivity we need field measurement from hillslope, channel erosions and sediment flux from them. But this method is very cost, time and manpower consuming.

According mentioned aspects, how should we quantify functional sediment connectivity?
