Abstract

This article addresses the problem of determining the optimal “Model Grain” or spatial resolution (scale) for landscape modeling in the Everglades. Selecting an appropriate scale for landscape modeling is a critical task that is necessary before using spatial data for model development. How the landscape is viewed in a simulation model is dependent on the scale (cell size) in which it is created. Given that different processes usually have different rates of fluctuations (frequencies), the question of selection of an appropriate modeling scale is a difficult one and most relevant to developing spatial ecosystem models.
