Healthy forest stands and landscapes, and mixed species and / or mixed size forests, stand a much better chance of at least slowing an outbreak down, especially at as
the spatial scale increases.

«The most important benefit to us is that the upgrade will
increase the
spatial resolution of our images, allowing us to study these dynamic processes at smaller length
scales.
In order to address the challenges of future ocean acidification at a regional
scale, it is necessary to
increase the resolution of
spatial and temporal monitoring of the inorganic carbon system beyond what is currently available.
The
spatial smoothness of T2 * images was greater at 3 T by less than 1 mm, suggesting that the greater extent of activation at 3 T beyond these
spatial scales was not due primarily to
increased intrinsic
spatial correlations at 3 T. Rather, the
increase in percentage of voxels activated reflects
increased sensitivity for detection of brain activation at higher field strength.
As you go to smaller
spatial and shorter temporal
scales the amount of internal variability
increases markedly and so the number of diagnostics which will be different to the expected values from the models will
increase (in both directions of course).
The two former methods are dependent on the large -
scale circulation variables from GCMs, and their value as a viable means of
increasing the
spatial resolution of climate change information thus partially depends on the quality of the GCM simulations.
Type 2 downscaling provides an effective way to provide
increased value - added information on regional and local
spatial scales.
On large
spatial scales, heat stress is the most common factor causing bleaching, which is predicted to
increase in frequency and severity as the climate warms.
Remember that the magnitude of annual, interannual and decadal variability
increases substantially as
spatial scales go from global, hemispheric, continental, regional to local.
