Analysis of Zehe et al. (2024), in rewiew, manuscript NGS-2024-06-01394

Data and matlab codes underlying manuscript NGS-2024-06-01394 "Preferential pathways in catchments induce simple functioning but complex chemical transport" submitted to Nature Geoscience. The zipfiles are grouped. Retention_data_stream_flow_slate_catchments.zip Holds the retention curves and the specific streamflow data shown in Fig. 1 in section "Preferential pathways, watershed simplicity and streamflow generation". Runoff_observations_simulations_Colpach.zip provide the simulation ensemple for the case with and without macropores, and matlab routines to calculate the shannon entropy of runoff and the dissipation rate and create Fig. 3 a, b,c d. Catflow_simulations_hillslope_97_no_macropores.zip and Catflow_simulations_hillslope_97_with_macropores.zip provide soil moisture, matric potential and subsurface flow rates simulated for a selected hillslope 97. It also provides Matlab codes for calculation dissipation rates and creating Fig. 3 e, f,g h. groundwater_simulations.zip provides the data underlying section "Preferential pathways, aquifer complexity and travel times of chemicals" and matlab codes to calculate shannon entropy, dissipation rates and analyze particle trajectories as well as create all the panels in Fig. 4 and 5.提交至《自然·地球科学》（Nature Geoscience）的手稿NGS-2024-06-01394《流域优先路径促成简单功能与复杂化学输运》所依托的数据集与Matlab代码已按组打包。 Retention_data_stream_flow_slate_catchments.zip：包含“优先路径、流域简化与径流生成”章节中图1所示的滞留曲线与特定径流数据集。 Runoff_observations_simulations_Colpach.zip：提供有无大孔隙（macropores）场景下的径流模拟集合，以及用于计算径流香农熵（Shannon entropy）、耗散率，并生成图3a、b、c、d的Matlab代码。 Catflow_simulations_hillslope_97_no_macropores.zip与Catflow_simulations_hillslope_97_with_macropores.zip：提供选定坡面97的模拟土壤含水量、基质势与地下径流速率数据，同时附带用于计算耗散率并生成图3e、f、g、h的Matlab代码。 groundwater_simulations.zip：提供“优先路径、含水层复杂性与化学物质运移时间”章节的依托数据，以及用于计算香农熵、耗散率、分析粒子轨迹，并生成图4与图5全部子图的Matlab代码。
