Abstract

The hydrosedimentological connectivity index determines the degree of possibility that the sediments of a given area reach a control point. Understanding the dynamics that occur with sediments requires the use of variables that represent the morphology and environmental conditions involved in space and time. This research proposed the analysis of models, identifying the main variables that explain the connectivity of sediments and observing the influences and frequencies of their use. Based on 34 specific articles dealing with sediment connectivity models, an important representativeness of the use of digital elevation models was found in 85% of the works, with emphasis on slope variables, drainage area, in addition to land use. The roughness, despite being extremely important, was used only with tabulated data, thus being an element to be detailed in new models.
