Landscape ecology as a modern interdisciplinary science is making use
increasingly of quantitative research techniques adopted from other
fields. So far, no synthetic reference has been available to those
wishing to acquaint themselves with new approaches to quantitative
analysis of spatial heterogeneity at the landcape level. This book
seeks to meet this need by providing a conceptual framework and
illustrating potential applications for methods such as pattern
analysis, spatial statistics, fractals, spatial modeling, broad-scale
studies, and extrapolation across scales. Each technique is discussed
in sufficient detail to be adaptable to a variety of research
problems. Quantitative Methods in Landscape Ecology is an important
resource for researchers and students of landscape and ecosystem
ecology in understanding and analyzing the dynamics of complex spatial
systems.
This is Book 82 in the Ecological Studies Series. See all Ecological Studies books here.
