[R-sig-eco] Creating artificial environmental landscape with spatial autocorrelation

[Etienne Laliberté]

Hi Laura,

A good start might be to have a look at details of the simulation in:

Legendre, P., M. R. T. Dale, M. J. Fortin, P. Casgrain, et J. Gurevitch.
2004. Effects of spatial structures on the results of field experiments.
Ecology 85:3202-3214.  

Cheers

Etienne
