Summary
Considers uncertainty and error analysis as an integral part of scaling. This book draws together a series of important case studies to provide a comprehensive review and synthesis of the concepts, theories and methods in scaling and uncertainty analysis. It is of interest to both researchers and practitioners working on landscape issues
