Interactive comment on “ Road and stream network connectivity and potential : northeastern Puerto Rico , an exploratory analysis ” by K . R

Comment # 1: “The work is not well-cited, particularly in the discussion section. It would be helpful to know, how does the authors’ specific results compare to other studies relating stream geomorphic/biotic variables to landscape-level variables? Does explicitly accounting for roads (a more novel aspect of this study) improve the predictive ability of such models, as compared to other studies which did not account for roads?
