An invariability-area relationship sheds new light on the spatial scaling of ecological stability
Nature Communications, 2017 Just as species distribution patterns scale with area, so might the degree of variability in ecological properties. Here, Wanget al. develop a model invariability–area relationship and demonstrate the application of this theory to empirical data on plant
