Recent advances in measuring biodiversity at different scales have led to an increasing use of geostatistical methods to model spatially distributed aspects of biodiversity. The aim of this workshop is to bring together "modelers and measurers" for an expert discussion of biodiversity feedbacks from plot to landscape-scale.
