- Scaling and Scale Dependence
- It compresses diverse phenomena—communication bottlenecks, coordination failures, changed physical constraints, resource depletion—into a single diagnostic: a mechanism appropriate for scale A becomes a bottleneck at scale B, a unifying diagnosis Schneider (2001) traced through the rise of "scale" as an organizing concept across ecology and adjacent sciences.
This sourceHistorical and conceptual review showing how "scale" became an organizing diagnostic across ecology, formalizing the diagnosis that small-scale measurements cannot be linearly extrapolated to larger scales because dominant processes and constraints change.
