Quantifying spatial scaling patterns and their local and regional correlates in headwater streams: implications for resilience

The distribution of functional traits within and across spatiotemporal scales has been used to quantify and infer the relative resilience across ecosystems.We use explicit spatial modeling to evaluate within- Office Desk and cross-scale redundancy in headwater streams, an ecosystem type with a hierarchical and dendritic network structure.We assesse
