Many conventional stream network metrics are poorly suited to non-perennial streams, which can vary substantially in space and time. To address this issue, we considered non-perennial stream networks as directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). DAG metrics allow: 1) summarization of important non-perennial stream characteristics (e.g., complexity, connectedness, and nestedness) from both local (individual segment) and global stream network perspectives, and 2) tracking of these features as networks expand and contract. We review a large number of graph theoretic metrics, and introduce a newRpackage,streamDAGthat codifies approaches we feel are most useful. ThestreamDAGpackage contains procedures for handling water presence data, and functions for both local and global analyses of both unweighted and weighted stream DAGs. We demonstratestreamDAGusing two North American non-perennial streams: Murphy Creek, a simple drainage system in the Owyhee Mountains of southwestern Idaho, and Konza Prairie, a relatively complex network in central Kansas.
