  abstract = {{N}etwork modelling and percolation theory now occupy a firm niche in soils research, aiding in the simulation and prediction of flow and transport processes. {I}n this study we examine the connectivity properties of a simple parameterized 2{D} fractal network model by direct numerical simulation and theoretically, drawing on upscaling functions from renormalization theory. {W}e demonstrate good agreement between the two approaches and extrapolate to systems inaccessible to direct numerical simulation. {W}e examine the relationship between porosity. the pore-size range and the connectivity of the network. {W}e show that for fixed porosity, the connectivity is a nonlinear function of the range of scales accommodated in the fractal model. {W}e investigate the implications of distributing a fixed porosity over different ranges of pore size and demonstrate a general impairment of pore connectivity and improvement of solid phase continuity as this range is extended.},
