Broad scaling region in a spatial ecological system
The ubiquity of scale-free patterns in ecological systems has raised the possibility that these systems operate near criticality. Critical phenomena (CP) require the tuning of parameters and typically exhibit a narrow scaling region in which power laws hold. Here we show that an individual-based predator-prey model exhibits scaling properties similar to CP, generated by a percolation-like trans...
متن کاملSpatial–Temporal Monitoring of Ecotonal Belt Using Landscape Ecological Indices in the Central Elburz Region: Remote Sensing and GIS Analysis
Iran has mountainous landscapes and half of its surface is occupied by highlands. Moreover, Iran is an arid country and deserts are located at lower altitudes. Most metropolitan areas are positioned in mid-altitudes between mountain and desert. Cities grow upwardly toward the highlands under pressures of urbanization and desertification. Foothill ecotones are a zone between upland mountains and...

متن کاملThe Hydro-Ecological Process in Spatial Database Management System
In spatial database, geographic information system (GIS) technology and system engineering theory, the hydro-ecological spatial database was built, and the corresponding hydro-ecological spatial database management information system was designed and developed. From aspects of the data organization and classification, the overall structure of the database, database construction processes and da...
متن کاملSpatial pattern and ecological process in the coffee agroforestry system.
The coffee agroforestry system provides an ideal platform for the study of spatial ecology. The uniform pattern of the coffee plants and shade trees allows for the study of pattern generation through intrinsic biological forces rather than extrinsic habitat patchiness. Detailed studies, focusing on a key mutualism between an ant (Azteca instabilis) and a scale insect (Coccus viridis), conducted...
