Abstract: Spatial h eterogeneity in ecological systems is a common understanding of ecologists. The impor- tance of spatial h eterogeneity in ecology lies in its ubiquity as a feature of ecosystems and in the ecological . , / , effects it raises Spatial heterogeneity the complexity and or variability of ecological systems in space as- sociates w ith scale. Th e degree to w hich heterogeneity is expressed depends on scale. Th e hierarchical the- ory throw s light on understanding spatial heterogeneity in ecological systems. Ecological systems can be - . , seen as multi scale hierarchical mosaic patches Many quantitative m ethods such as nested quadrat analy- sis, semivariograms, fractals, t rend-surface analysis, spectral analysis, etc. provide powerful tools to de- scribe spatial heterogeneity. Spatial heterogeneity has very im portant influences on both abiotic and biotic . . processes Most organisms are benefited from environmental heterogeneity Modeling and experimental studies over landscape scale is a new challenge to ecologists in studies of dynamics of spatial heterogeneity. Experimental studies on st riding across boundaries betw een landscape patches of some clonal plants
