ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
We would like to thank Julia Reiss, Guy Woodward and the anonymous
reviewer for their insightful comments and recommendations. Further
thanks go to Dirk Sanders for his help providing quality photos for this
chapter. The idea for this chapter was the result of discussions with numerous
members of the SIZEMIC network, funded by the European Science Foun-
dation. DCH is supported by the UK National Environment Research
Council.
