We shouldn't be too enthusiastic when applying the theory of fractals. In nature, there are no fractals in the mathematical sense of the term (p. 9 of ). In nature, fractal situations are only encountered on a range of spatial scales limited to a few orders of magnitude (typically 0.5 to 3.0 decades, i.e. factors of 10) .

There are numerous examples of the application of fractals published in scientific and technical journals (e.g.
