Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

Botany, Slope stability, Ecology, Root system and Landslide are her primary areas of study. Her studies in Botany integrate themes in fields like Agronomy and Renewable energy. Her work deals with themes such as Soil science, Species richness, Vegetation and Deciduous, which intersect with Slope stability.

The Adaptive value, Ecosystem, Phenotypic plasticity and Habitat research she does as part of her general Ecology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Context, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. Her work carried out in the field of Root system brings together such families of science as Windthrow, Geotechnical engineering and Taproot. Her Landslide study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cohesion, Ecology, Soil bioengineering and Woody plant.

Her most cited work include:

  • Wood Formation in Trees (590 citations)
  • Desirable plant root traits for protecting natural and engineered slopes against landslides (340 citations)
  • The influence of cellulose content on tensile strength in tree roots (230 citations)

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

Alexia Stokes mainly focuses on Ecology, Root system, Botany, Landslide and Slope stability. In general Ecology study, her work on Plant community, Forest ecology and Fagus sylvatica often relates to the realm of Context, thereby connecting several areas of interest. Her Root system study combines topics in areas such as Soil water, Geotechnical engineering and Taproot.

Alexia Stokes combines topics linked to Horticulture with her work on Botany. Her Landslide research incorporates themes from Cohesion and Erosion. Her Slope stability research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Soil science, Factor of safety and Vegetation.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (25.27%)
  • Root system (21.98%)
  • Botany (20.33%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Ecology (25.27%)
  • Soil water (14.29%)
  • Restoration ecology (3.85%)

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

Alexia Stokes spends much of her time researching Ecology, Soil water, Restoration ecology, Root and Trait. Ecology connects with themes related to Elevation in her study. Her Soil water study deals with the bigger picture of Soil science.

Her biological study deals with issues like Ecosystem services, which deal with fields such as Ecological engineering, Natural, Soil bioengineering and Environmental planning. Her study looks at the relationship between Hydrology and fields such as Vegetation, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Slope stability, Juglans, Root system and Phenology.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Soil and water bioengineering: Practice and research needs for reconciling natural hazard control and ecological restoration (37 citations)
  • Impacts of forests and forestation on hydrological services in the Andes: A systematic review (33 citations)
  • Root traits as drivers of plant and ecosystem functioning: current understanding, pitfalls and future research needs (11 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Soil water, Ecology, Root and Trait. She incorporates Ecology and Microbial population biology in her research. Her studies deal with areas such as Mass wasting, Hydrology, Erosion and Vegetation, Understory as well as Soil water.

Her research integrates issues of Biosphere and Terrestrial ecosystem, Ecosystem in her study of Ecology. Her Root research overlaps with Meaning, Interpretation, Point and Protocol.
