From an ecological perspective, the macroscale corresponds to the global‐biome level, the mesoscale aligns with the landscape/ecosystem scale and the microscale coincides with the scales ranging from ecosystems to individual organisms. From an institutional perspective, the macroscale corresponds to the global and international level, the mesoscale represents the regional through to metropolitan and urban scales, and the microscale coincides with the scales ranging from the neighbourhood and street to the single building.
