Example 3. Spatial distribution of the foliage density (A) and of fruit
density (B) around the main stem of Walnut tree. LAD is leaf area density,
FD is fruit density (after Sinoquet et al. 1997).
| Spatial Scale | Individual tree |
| Temporal Scale | Single moment - a "snapshot" in time |
| x-dimension | Combined with y-dimension into radial distance from trunck |
| y-dimension | Combined with x-dimension |
| z-dimension | Preserved |
| Time-dimension | Instantaneous |
