The predictability of the physical arrangement of plants, at whatever scale it isviewed, is referred to as their spatial pattern. Spatial pattern is a crucial aspect of veg-etation which has important implications not only for the plants themselves, but alsoFor other organisms which interact with plants, such as herbivores and pollinators, or
those animals for which plants provide a habitat. This book describes and evaluatesmethods for detecting and quantifying a variety of characteristics of spatial pattern.
As well as discussing the concepts on which these techniques are based, examplesFrom real field studies and worked examples are included, which, together withnumerous line figures, help guide the reader through the text. The result is a bookthat will be of value to graduate students and research workers in the fields of vegetation science,conservation biology and applied ecology.
