Edited by Orie L. Louck, Jianguo Wu, Harbin Li and Bruce Jones
This book presents a comprehensive and up-to-date review and synthesis of concepts, theories, methods and case studies in scaling and uncertainty analysis in ecology and related fields. It is the first of its kind to explicitly consider uncertainty and error analysis as an integral part of scaling. Topics covered include population and ecosystem processes, biodiversity and landscape patterns, and management and policy-making issues.
