Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is commonly used by ecologists and …

Highlights•Vegetation indexes are usually applied to quantify drought.•The spatial statistical
approach is very relevant to define drought.•The method is based on singularity maps …

Spatial variation in the degree of local patchiness of macrobenthic assemblage abundance
was assessed across the 16 km 2 warm-temperate Knysna estuarine bay (South Africa) …

Soil fauna organisms participate in a series of processes that benefit the physical and
chemical soil properties; however, little is known about their spatial variability and scale …

Spatial patterns of abundance of the whole macrobenthic assemblage and of its 10 most
numerous species were examined across hierarchically nested scales within a 0.85 ha area …

Chrysophaeum taylorii (Pelagophyceae) is an allochthonous benthic microalga recently
recorded in the Mediterranean Sea. During summer, the occurrence of C. taylorii is usually …
