Handbook of Scaling Methods in Aquatic Ecology - 9780367394981

CRC Press

This compendium --the first comprehensive compilation of scaling methods used in marine and freshwater ecology applications--explores topics related to the response or behavior of organisms to processes occurring over multiple spatial and temporal scales. These include novel techniques for data collection, recently developed concepts, new data analysis algorithms, and innovative simulation approaches. Many of the algorithms and models provided can be directly applied to readers' own experimental data. Handbook of Scaling Methods in Aquatic Ecology helps foster a unified understanding of the subject matter among the modeling, experimental, and field research communities. > The evolution of observational instruments, simulation techniques, and computing power has given aquatic scientists a new understanding of biological and physical processes that span temporal and spatial scales. This has created a need for a single volume that addresses concepts of scale in a manner that builds bn
