Surprisingly, few previous studies explored this theme, despite the possibility that variation in density with spatial scales should be significant for detecting ecological phenomena and answering ecological problems. In this study, we call variation in density with spatial scales (the local neighborhood density at different spatial scales) as scale density. Methods O-Ring function can measure the local neighborhood density at different spatial scales. We used it to measure scale densities of Leymus chinensis, Agropyron michnoi and A. michnoi relative to L. chinensis in differ- ent restorative successional stages in steppe community in Inner Mongolia. Important findings Local densities of two populations (L. chinensis and A. michnoi) were both higher in a de- graded community than the other t
