Scale-dependent relationships between landscape structure and microclimate
This paper examined the scale-dependent relationships between landscape structure (e.g., slope, elevation, and overstory canopy coverage) and microclimate (e.g., air and soil temperatures and soil moisture) at...

Evolving core-periphery interactions in a rapidly expanding urban landscape: The case of Bei**g
We characterized and analyzed the dynamics of a rapidly expanding urban landscape of Bei**g Municipality, based on the Hierarchical Regional Space (HRS) model. We focused on ecological processes such as flows...

Separating the effects of moisture and temperature on soil CO2 efflux in a coniferous forest in the Sierra Nevada mountains
Separating the effects of soil temperature and moisture on soil CO2 efflux is critical to modeling and understanding the belowground carbon dynamics of forest ecosystems. We developed two analytical procedures to...

Modelling Ecosystem Processes and Patterns for Multiple-Use Management
The progression of natural resource management is reviewed from a focus on the output of products considered independently to function-oriented ecosystem management. The challenges of this paradigm shift for e...

Effects of changing spatial resolution on the results of landscape pattern analysis using spatial autocorrelation indices
Understanding the relationship between pattern and scale is a central issue in landscape ecology. Pattern analysis is necessarily a critical step to achieve this understanding. Pattern and scale are inseparabl...
