Overview

Aaron R. Weiskittel is affiliated with the University of Maine in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science, with a significant emphasis on forest ecology and management. Their work spans various subfields including global and planetary change, nature and landscape conservation, environmental engineering, ecology, and insect science.

The scientist's research addresses multiple topics such as forest ecology and management, forest management and policy, remote sensing and LiDAR applications, fire effects on ecosystems, forest ecology and biodiversity studies, plant water relations and carbon dynamics, and remote sensing in agriculture.

Frequent publication venues for their work include Forest Ecology and Management, where they have published 14 papers, the Journal of Forestry with 7 publications, SSRN Electronic Journal with 6, as well as Canadian Journal of Forest Research and Remote Sensing, each with 4 publications.

Among their recent papers are:

  • Evolution, history, and use of stem taper equations: a review of their development, application, and implementation (2020, Canadian Journal of Forest Research)
  • Spruce budworm tree host species distribution and abundance mapping using multi-temporal Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellite imagery (2020, ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing)
  • Sentinel-2 based prediction of spruce budworm defoliation using red-edge spectral vegetation indices (2020, Remote Sensing Letters)
  • Individual Tree Attribute Estimation and Uniformity Assessment in Fast-Growing Eucalyptus spp. Forest Plantations Using Lidar and Linear Mixed-Effects Models (2020, Remote Sensing)
  • Relative density of United States forests has shifted to higher levels over last two decades with important implications for future dynamics (2021, Scientific Reports)

Aaron R. Weiskittel has collaborated frequently with several coauthors, including Parinaz Rahimzadeh-Bajgiran, Anthony W. D'Amato, Adam Daigneault, Christopher W. Woodall, and Xinyuan Wei. The number of joint publications with these colleagues ranges from 8 to 15.
