Abstract
Causal model for the percentage of trans links (% trans) along such streams. Analyses of 40 stream reaches indicate (1) that 81 percent of the variation in the percentage of tributaries on the concave side (outside) of bends (% CVT) can be explained by the mean number of tributaries per bend (N ~T~ ), valley sinuosity (P), and the rate of bend migration; and (2) that 72 percent of the variation in % trans can be accounted for by % CVT, N ~T~ and P. The variable N ~T~ represents both the availability of space on the convex (inside) of bends relative to that required for a tributary to form and the ratio of the mean bend length to mean chain length, which affects the convergence and divergence of runoff down valley sides. Locations of tributaries along main streams can be understood largely in terms of four factors: spatial requirements of tributaries, sinuosity of the main valley, lengths of the valley bends, and rate of bend migration.\--Modified journal abstract.
