In response to the continuum model for fauna research: a hierarchical, patch-based model of habitat fragmentation
Models of nature are implicitly influenced by the scale of observation of the processes on which they are founded. The continuum model and the hierarchical patch-based model are two alternate approaches for the spatial modelling of fauna distribution. The continuum model aggregates continuous approx...

| description | Models of nature are implicitly influenced by the scale of observation of the processes on which they are founded. The continuum model and the hierarchical patch-based model are two alternate approaches for the spatial modelling of fauna distribution. The continuum model aggregates continuous approximations to individual landscape characteristics, whereas the hierarchical patch-based model constructs a hierarchy in which classifications of landscape characteristics describe an interconnected series of patches. We propose the hierarchical patch-based theory for models of population distributions and landscapes in which the spatial patterns can be effectively represented by mosaics at the variety of levels within the set of individual process models. |
