Where are people in Bowman-Oddy?
Are they randomly distributed?

Point-to-Point Nearest-Neighbor Analysis Uses distances between points as its basis. The distance observed between each point
and its nearest neighbor is compared with the expected mean distance that would occur if the distribution were random.

Geostatistical Tools For Modeling And Interpreting Ecological Spatial Dependence Ecological Monographs 62(2). 1992. pp. 277-3146 1992 by the
Ecological Society of America Richard E. Rossi et al.
“…geostatistics is never a replacement for sound ecological reasoning”
![Page 12: Spatial Statistics Jonathan Bossenbroek, PhD Dept of Env. Sciences Lake Erie Center University of Toledo](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e885503460f94b8c2ef/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Geostistical Tools Spatial and temporal dependence are the
norm in natural systems: Different plant species are often different on north
and south facing slopes. Grasshoppers are more dense during hot dry
periods. Spatial dependence is particularly important
in analysis of spatially varying organisms and environmental variables.
Spatial statistics can test for independence!
![Page 13: Spatial Statistics Jonathan Bossenbroek, PhD Dept of Env. Sciences Lake Erie Center University of Toledo](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e885503460f94b8c2ef/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Always know your data!
Rossi et al. suggest always beginning with exploratory data analysis. Histograms, regressions, scatter plots etc.

Basic statistics do not tell the story Two statistical tools:
h-scatterplots Variography
h-scatterplots displays the degree of spatial continuity or correlation at
some lag distance h Variograms
Variograms model the average degree of similarity between the values of a variable as a function of distance.
![Page 18: Spatial Statistics Jonathan Bossenbroek, PhD Dept of Env. Sciences Lake Erie Center University of Toledo](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e885503460f94b8c2ef/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Scatter plots
Typical scatter plot compares measurement of two parameters at the same location or of the same object.
h-scatter plots compares measurement of the same parameter at a certain distance apart.
![Page 19: Spatial Statistics Jonathan Bossenbroek, PhD Dept of Env. Sciences Lake Erie Center University of Toledo](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e885503460f94b8c2ef/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
h-scatterplot: if distance (h) = 1
![Page 20: Spatial Statistics Jonathan Bossenbroek, PhD Dept of Env. Sciences Lake Erie Center University of Toledo](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e885503460f94b8c2ef/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

![Page 23: Spatial Statistics Jonathan Bossenbroek, PhD Dept of Env. Sciences Lake Erie Center University of Toledo](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e885503460f94b8c2ef/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
How do you measure variance?
![Page 24: Spatial Statistics Jonathan Bossenbroek, PhD Dept of Env. Sciences Lake Erie Center University of Toledo](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e885503460f94b8c2ef/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
semivariance
A variogram summarizes all h-scattergrams for all possible pairings of the data or rather distributes variance across space.
•y(h) is the estimated semivariance for lag h
•N(h) is number of pairs of points separated by lag h
•Z(xi) is the value of variable Z at location xi
•Z(xi + h) is the value of variable Z at location xi + h
![Page 25: Spatial Statistics Jonathan Bossenbroek, PhD Dept of Env. Sciences Lake Erie Center University of Toledo](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e885503460f94b8c2ef/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Looking back at h-scatter plots… What is the variance
at h = 1?
Is the variance at h = 2 > or < h = 1?

unbiased estimates for field attributes (yield, nutrients, elevation) from a set of neighboring points.

Observations: Moose preferentially forage on aspen and avoid
conifers. Hypotheses:
If moose browsing causes a shift in dominance from hardwoods to conifers across adjacent areas, we should expect corresponding changes in soil nutrient availability over the landscape.
Results:
Spatial patterns in the moose-forest-soil ecosystem on Isle Royale, Michigan USA – J. Pastor et al.

What was the study about?
Examine the largescale landscape distribution of moose browsing intensity in relation to plant community composition and size structure, as well as soil nitrogen availability. Do moose control plant community composition
and soil nitrogen at large scales?
![Page 40: Spatial Statistics Jonathan Bossenbroek, PhD Dept of Env. Sciences Lake Erie Center University of Toledo](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e885503460f94b8c2ef/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

What did they measure?
Available browse. Annual consumption by moose. Soil nitrogen availability.

What did Pastor conclude?
No differences in nitrogen availability or consumption due to slope or aspect. Spatial patterns not caused by topographic relief.
Patterns are a result of dynamic interactions between moose foraging and plant communities.
Uncommonly strong impact for a large mammal.
This patterns has occurred in less than 50 generations.

Why are things spatially autocorrelated? Environment
Examples: soil, climate, moisture, ... Interactions
Examples: competition, herbivory, mutualism
