Space-for-Time Substitution as an Alternative to Long-Term Studies

  • Chapter
Long-Term Studies in Ecology

Abstract

This chapter analyzes the benefits and shortcomings of inferring a temporal trend from a study of different aged sites. This technique, called space-for-time substitution, assumes that spatial and temporal variation are equivalent. Although this assumption has been challenged, studies continue to rely on space-for-time substitution due to necessity or convenience.

Time which you can do nothing with. You can’t liquefy it, put it in a jug and pour it out like rendered cheese. As it is like the dry snow of the high latitudes, you can’t take it into your hands and mould it into snow balls to pelt against your own image in a looking glass.
