Principles of urban ecology[edit]

A principle "can be a concept, a definition used to translate concepts to specific cases, a definition of a quantitative convention wihin a model, a confirmed empirical generalization or a law" (Pickett & Cadenasso, 2017)[1]

Queries[edit]

List of hypotheses studied by urban ecology[edit]
