Schneider, David C.

Quantitative ecologymeasurement, models and scaling /[electronic resource] :David C. Schneider. - 2nd ed. - Amsterdam ;Academic Press/Elsevier,c2009. - 1 online resource (1 online resource (xv, 415 p.) :ill.

Description based on print version record.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 377-397) and index.

Chapter 1. Quantitative Reasoning in Ecology -- Chapter 2. Scale in Ecology -- Chapter 3. Measured Quantities -- Chapter 4. Units and Dimensions -- Chapter 5. Rescaling Quantities -- Chapter 6. Dimensions -- Chapter 7. The Geography and Chronology of Quantities -- Chapter 8. Quantities Derived from Sequential Measurements -- Chapter 9. Ensemble Quantities: Weighted Sums -- Chapter 10. Ensemble Quantities: Variability -- Chapter 11. The Scope of Quantities -- Chapter 12. The Scope of Research Programs -- Chapter 13. Equations -- Chapter 14. Coordinating Equations: Derivatives -- Chapter 15. Equations and Uncertainty -- Chapter 16. Power Laws and Scaling Theory.

A follow up to the highly successful first edition, this book reviews the manifold ways that scale influences the interpretation of ecological variation. As scale, magnitude, quantity, and measurement occupy an expanding role in ecology, this second edition will be an indispensable addition to individual and institutional libraries. In providing a context for resolution of ecological problems, Ecologists will appreciate the significance of scale and magnitude addressed in this book. Written for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty researchers, this book synthesizes a burgeoning literature on the influences of scale. * Expanded by numerous explanatory figures and wide coverage of material * Topic is of crucial importance to Ecologists * The most thorough, complete coverage available on quantitative ecology in the market.
