A unique explanation of how to use fractal geometry in ecology and biology.
Beginning with the foundations of measurement in Euclidian geometry, this book progresses from analogues in the geometry of random fractals to illustrative applications spanning the natural sciences. Designed to enable students and researchers to master the methods of this hot current topic, it:
Includes a toolbox of user-ready computer programs
Provides a blend of motivation, geometry and detailed applications
Presents detailed case studies in ecosystem patterns and fluctuations of small populations
It is the only guide to using fractals in these areas and will prove an essential source for all natural scientists interested in working with fractals.
