Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Erosion

Alan D. Ziegler mainly investigates Hydrology, Surface runoff, Agroforestry, Shifting cultivation and Agriculture. His work deals with themes such as Land cover, Landslide and Wet season, which intersect with Hydrology. The various areas that he examines in his Surface runoff study include Erosion control, Erosion, Horton overland flow, Drainage basin and Land degradation.

Monsoon is closely connected to Subsurface flow in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Horton overland flow. His studies deal with areas such as Carbon sequestration, Soil conservation and Evergreen as well as Agroforestry. His Agriculture research incorporates elements of Biodiversity and Natural rubber.

His most cited work include:

  • Erosion processes in steep terrain—Truths, myths, and uncertainties related to forest management in Southeast Asia (406 citations)
  • Trends, drivers and impacts of changes in swidden cultivation in tropical forest-agriculture frontiers: A global assessment (351 citations)
  • The Rubber Juggernaut (300 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Hydrology, Surface runoff, Sediment, Drainage basin and Erosion. As part of the same scientific family, Alan D. Ziegler usually focuses on Hydrology, concentrating on Wet season and intersecting with Dry season. His study looks at the intersection of Surface runoff and topics like Land cover with Water content.

His work in Sediment tackles topics such as Vegetation which are related to areas like Agricultural land. The study incorporates disciplines such as Geotechnical engineering and Soil water in addition to Erosion. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Hydrology and Hydrograph.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Hydrology (47.83%)
  • Surface runoff (27.05%)
  • Sediment (17.87%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Hydrology (47.83%)
  • Flood myth (6.76%)
  • Ecology (14.49%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Hydrology, Flood myth, Ecology, Environmental planning and Sediment. His Hydrology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Debris flow, Monsoon and Mangrove. His work on Ecosystem as part of general Ecology research is often related to Biological sciences, Humanities and Research needs, thus linking different fields of science.

His Sediment study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Vegetation, Oceanography and Biogeochemical cycle. He works mostly in the field of Flood mitigation, limiting it down to concerns involving Floodplain and, occasionally, Erosion. His Surface runoff research integrates issues from Soil conservation, Land rehabilitation and Erosion control.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Carbon stocks in bamboo ecosystems worldwide: Estimates and uncertainties (57 citations)
  • A reversal in global terrestrial stilling and its implications for wind energy production (56 citations)
  • Review of allometric equations for major land covers in SE Asia: Uncertainty and implications for above- and below-ground carbon estimates (45 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Ecosystem

Hydrology, Ecology, Agroforestry, Southeast asian and Flood myth are his primary areas of study. His work blends Hydrology and Glacial lake studies together. Alan D. Ziegler has included themes like Biodiversity, Satellite imagery, STREAMS, Land cover and Forest ecology in his Agroforestry study.

The Flood myth study combines topics in areas such as Indus, Paleoclimatology, Urban planning and Holocene, Holocene climatic optimum. The Urban planning study which covers Flood control that intersects with Climate change and Environmental planning. His work carried out in the field of Carbon sink brings together such families of science as Carbon dioxide, Sediment, Dissolved organic carbon and Biogeochemical cycle.
