Quantitative description of spatial patterns is often at the heart of ecological research in aquatic systems, particularly for investigations of how biota respond to physical habitat. A common first step for approximating a river channel is tessellation, or the discretization of the channel into cel

## Abstract The RSβtempQ Model (**r**eachβ**s**cale **t**emporary flow biogeochemical model) is a conceptual model that can describe the hydrologic, sediment transport and biogeochemical processes of temporary rivers at the reach scale. The model takes into account the expansionβcontraction of the
Major hydraulic discontinuities along lowland rivers may be caused by water impoundment behind weirs, by tributary floods, and by tides. An analysis of the geometry of 122 surveyed channel cross-sections located on an 18 km reach of the lower River Dee identifies up to three levels in the bank profi
