An examination of Fairfield Smith's law of environmental variation

Author:

Pearce S. C.

Abstract

SummaryFairfield Smith's law relating the error of a field experiment to the size of its plots is well established by observation and in general use, but it appears to have no theoretical basis. It is here shown by computer simulation that it could arise in many ways as a good approximation, provided the range of plot sizes considered is not unreasonably large.
