Short summary
In this study, we analyze contributing drainage regions, a proxy for discharge in channel–hillslope coupling using landscape evolution models. We present a fractal framework which reveals that drainage area is not well defined for steady-state unchannelized locations. This clarifies the interaction between geomorphic parameters and grid resolution, furthering our understanding of channel–hillslope interactions in both computational and real-world settings.
