The difficulty that humans have in perceiving and understanding
large-scale phenomena is widely acknowledged. The need to study and
understand processes associated with global environmental change
has created an environment that has promoted unprecedented
scientific co-operation between and within disciplines. The science
of global change emphasises the need to understand the complex
biophysical systems both in terms of components and as a whole.
This has involved research at many levels of organisation, or
scales, within each system. The need to link and integrate
information between scales underlies the scientific approaches
described in this 1997 book. The theory, practice and challenges of
scaling are discussed using examples from current research,
combining biology and geography to address issues at a range of
scales, from local to global levels.
