Scaling Relations in Experimental Ecology /

Scaling Relations in Experimental Ecology / / ed. by Robert Gardner, John Petersen, Victor Kennedy, W. Kemp.

This book discusses the impact of recent advances in the theory of "scaling relationships" and identifies critical issues that must be considered if experimental results are used to understand the temporal and spatial scales of actual ecosystems.The complexity of ecosystems complicates exp...
