标度为理解幂律行为和推断关键指数之间的关系提供了一个优雅的框架。我们证明标度理论可以推广到开发一个框架来分析传统上被视为独立的各种经验宏观生态关系。我们的数学论证预测了物种面积关系、相对物种丰度和群落规模谱之间的联系，与经验数据非常一致。
Scaling provides an elegant framework for understanding power-law behavior and deducing relationships between critical exponents. We demonstrate that scaling theory can be generalized to develop a framework for the analysis of diverse empirical macroecological relationships traditionally treated as independent. Our mathematical arguments predict links between the species-area relationship, the relative species abundance and community size spectra in excellent accord with empirical data.
