The term scale has been used in many ways. In continuous landscape analysis, the spatial
scale consists of two components; grain and extent. Most previous studies on the scale issue …

Although the importance of spatial scale in ecology has been increasingly recognized, the
effects on ecological processes of changing the grain size of the observation have rarely …

Landscape pattern is spatially correlated and scale-dependent. Thus, understanding
landscape structure and functioning requires multiscale information, and scaling functions …

Context The scope of a measurement is the ratio of the range (or extent) to the resolution.
Scope can also be defined as the number of steps in a measurement instrument given the …

Spatial heterogeneity is ubiquitous across all scales of natural systems. Spatial
pattern/heterogeneity is also scale dependent, ie, spatial heterogeneity exhibites various …

In cartography, scale represents the level of reduction of the real dimensions of the earth
and may be absolute or relative. In ecology, the scale is a fundamental concept. In fact …

While ecologists are well aware that spatial heterogeneity is scale-dependent, a general
understanding of scaling relationships of spatial pattern is still lacking. One way to improve …

Understanding the role of scale is critical to ecologists' ability to make appropriate
measurements, to “scale up” from local, short‐term experiments to larger areas and longer …

Landscape ecology is the study of the distribution patterns of communities and ecosystems,
the ecological processes that affect those patterns, and changes in pattern and process over …

In cartography scale represents the level of reduction of the real dimensions of the earth,
and may be absolute or relative. In ecology scale is a fundamental concept, as organisms …
