摘要：

We shortly review the observational evidence for clumpy and fractal structure of interstellar clouds, and summarize work applying fractal descriptions to them. As an example, in the Taurus region the derived fractal dimensions (D(H) = 1.3-1.5) show no indications of smoother structures over four orders of magnitude in linear size down to the smallest resolution of 0.006 pc.
