Scaling and Uncertainty Analysis in Ecology. Methods and Applications. 2006. XVIII, 313 p. gr8vo. Hardcover.
Presenting the current state of the art in scaling and uncertainty inecology, this is the first book of its kind, explicitly considering uncertainty and error analysis as an integral part of scaling. Primarily, the book draws together a series of important case studies toprovide a comprehensive review and synthesis of the most recent concepts, theories and methods in scaling and uncertainty analysis. Itexamines two key scaling approaches, namely similarity-based scaling,which is rooted in the idea of similitude or self-similarity, and dynamic model-based scaling, which emphasizes processes and mechanisms.
