Fig. 3: Values of branching ratio as a function of AT for the 50 real river networks analyzed in this study.

From: Optimal Channel Networks accurately model ecologically-relevant geomorphological features of branching river networks

a Natural values of pr in logarithmic scale. b z-normalized branching ratios (i.e., for each AT value, values of pr are normalized so that they have null mean and unit standard deviation), which better shows how rivers rank differently in terms of pr for different observation scales (i.e., AT). Lines connect dots relative to the same river. For visual purposes, rivers that rank first, second, second-to-last or last in at least one of the AT groups are displayed in colors; the other rivers are displayed in grey.
