Biological diversity would apparently seem the most intuitive and easily studied of ecological
concepts. The first and obvious way to study it simply consists in counting the number of …

Fractal geometry applications have recently been paid great attention in ecology. In this
paper, I summarize the state of the art and introduce several updated developments in …

The importance of spatial and temporal scaling to the study of biological systems and
processes has long been recognized. We demonstrate that concepts derived from fractal …

Range improvement practices have been criticized by scientists and the public because of
negative impacts on biodiversity. I present a conceptual model based on ecological theory …

Little is known about the relative influence of landscape structure on the spatial distribution
and abundance of marine organisms. To address this problem, we applied landscape …

Many commercially important fish species use coastal marine environments such as
mangroves, tidal flats and seagrass beds as nurseries or breeding grounds. The ecological …

The digital airborne sensor, CASI (Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imager) has
considerable potential for mapping marine habitats. Here we present an account of one of …

基于遥感, GIS 技术和景观生态学方法, 以太湖流域为研究区域, 在1985 年, 1995 年和2000
年的土地利用图基础上, 分析了土地利用与景观格局演变. 结果表明, 15 年间 …

We studied the spatial distribution of intertidal macrozoobenthos, microphytobenthos
(diatom algae) and sediments at scales from decimeters to kilometers using an index of …
