Temporal and spatial scales of aquatic ecosystem

The dynamic equilibrium of aquatic ecosystems is the result of the interaction between multi-scale biological process and non-biological process,and it is easy to be disturbed.Based on an analysis of the interference factors and composition of the aquatic ecosystems,the ecosystems were classified into 4 scales from the angle of engineering,i.e.t he micro-scale,the small-scale,the medium-scale,and the macro-scale,and the temporal and spatial scales corresponding to the 4 scales were generalized.Furthermore,the relationships between the different scales were discussed,and the application and effectiveness of the temporal and spatial scales in ecological rehabilitation were introduced.
