This study is aimed at showing that the fractal geometry of taxonomic systems (Burlando, 1990) reflects self-similar evolutionary pattern. Evidence is achieved by three steps: (i) examination of taxonomic data from the fossil record; (ii) examination of taxonomic data from phylogenetic systematics;
Fractal geometry has become a widely accepted descriptive tool for speci"c physical properties of natural soils and fractal scaling has recently been proposed as a model for soil particle size distribution. In this work, the cumulative mass distribution of dry soil aggregates, M(r(R), was estimated
