Scaling in Ecology with a Model System / / Aaron M. Ellison, Nicholas J. Gotelli.

A groundbreaking approach to scale and scaling in ecological theory and practiceScale is one of the most important concepts in ecology, yet researchers often find it difficult to find ecological systems that lend themselves to its study. Scaling in Ecology with a Model System synthesizes nearly thre...
