Isotropy is uniformity in all directions. Precise definitions depend on the subject area. The word is made up from Greek iso (equal) and tropos (direction). Exceptions, or inequalities, are frequently indicated by the prefix an, hence anisotropy.

The equation (3) is relatively easily computable if the measured points are ordered in a regular grid and the field has isotropy, that is depends only on h, but not on its direction.
Pedogenic (soil-forming) processes act to both create and destroy order (anisotropy) within soils; these processes can proceed simultaneously. The resulting soil profile reflects the balance of these processes, present and past.

Cover at each sample point (referred to hereafter as a "plot") was recorded over one meter of line oriented parallel to the river, and over a second meter of line oriented perpendicular to the first, because of the potential for anisotropy.
