This paper describes a model which links four levels in an ecological hierarchy using a series of matrices. The four levels are landscape, land cover type, community and species. Each matrix quantifies the probabilistic associations between entities in two adjacent levels in the hierarchy. A landsca
A model is proposed which predicts that ~he relationship between size and abundance of organisms is logarithmic when certain conditions are met, the most important among these being that the organisms are limited by a single resource. The model is presented in both a deterministic and stochastic for
