A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Nowadays, ecologists worldwide recognize the use of spatial analysis as essential. However, because of the fast-growing range of methods available, even an expert might occasionally find it challenging to choose the most appropriate one. Providing the ecological and statistical foundations needed to make the right decision, this second edition builds and expands upon the previous one by: • Encompassing the basic methods for spatial analysis, for both complete census and sample data • Investigating updated treatments of spatial autocorrelation and spatio-temporal analysis • Introducing detailed explanations of currently developing approaches, including spatial and spatio-temporal graph theory, scan statistics, fibre process analysis, and Hierarchical Bayesian analysis • Offering practical advice for specific circumstances, such as how to analyze forest Permanent Sample Plot data and how to proceed with transect data when portions of the data series are missing. Written for graduates, researchers and professionals, this book will be a valuable source of reference for years to come.

Revue de presse :

"The overall result is a book that should be well received and prove highly useful to its target audience of graduate students and researchers in ecology, both as an introductory course text in spatial analysis and also for subsequent reference."
Trevor Bailey, Biometrics

"Spatial Analysis is a guide, not a recipe book. In today's quest for ecological understanding of spatial patterns, recipes of methods clutter bookshelves, and an important guide like this one is much in need. Without any hesitation, I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in spatial analysis in ecology and environmental sciences."
Jianguo Wu, BioScience
