Akihiko Ito mostly deals with Atmospheric sciences, Climate change, Carbon cycle, Primary production and Climatology.
While the research belongs to areas of Atmospheric sciences, he spends his time largely on the problem of Methane, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Atmospheric chemistry.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Soil water, Vegetation and Wetland in addition to Climate change.
His Carbon cycle research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Atmosphere, Soil carbon, Biosphere, Terrestrial ecosystem and Carbon dioxide.
His work investigates the relationship between Primary production and topics such as Global change that intersect with problems in Environmental resource management, Productivity and Environmental change.
His study in Climatology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Shrub, Plant growth, Physical geography and Transpiration.
His most cited work include:
- The global methane budget 2000–2012 (530 citations)
- Carbon residence time dominates uncertainty in terrestrial vegetation responses to future climate and atmospheric CO2 (328 citations)
- A simulation model of the carbon cycle in land ecosystems (Sim-CYCLE) : A description based on dry-matter production theory and plot-scale validation (200 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Akihiko Ito spends much of his time researching Atmospheric sciences, Climatology, Climate change, Carbon cycle and Ecosystem.
His Atmospheric sciences research includes themes of Vegetation, Methane, Greenhouse gas, Terrestrial ecosystem and Wetland.
His studies in Terrestrial ecosystem integrate themes in fields like Carbon dioxide and Seasonality.
Akihiko Ito focuses mostly in the field of Climate change, narrowing it down to topics relating to Land use, land-use change and forestry and, in certain cases, Biogeochemical cycle.
His studies deal with areas such as Carbon sequestration, Biosphere, Carbon sink and Global change as well as Carbon cycle.
