Abstract
The assumption of equilibrium between the different parameters investi gated during ecological surveys has always been widespread. It is also common in landscape ecology to omit spatial patterns history when rel ating species distribution to these patterns. This assumption can be m isleading as several studies show that rates of many species react slo wly at landscape changes. We propose that landscape history at several spatial scales be taken into account in the sampling design.
