About this book

Plants do not grow in places at random, either globally or locally. The predictability of their physical arrangement, termed their spatial pattern, has important implications not only for the plant themselves, but also for other organisms which interact with plants. This book describes and evaluates methods for detecting and quantifying a variety of characteristics of spatial pattern.

Contents

Preface; 1. Concepts of spatial pattern; 2. Sampling; 3. Basic methods for one dimension and one species; 4. Spatial pattern of two species; 5. Multispecies pattern; 6. Two-dimensional analysis of spatial pattern; 7. Point patterns; 8. Pattern on an environmental gradient; 9. Conclusions and future directions; Bibliography; Glossary of abbreviations; List of plant species; Index.
