Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Botany, Salt marsh, Salinity and Halophyte. His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Genetic variation and Introgression. Anthony J. Davy regularly ties together related areas like Sarcocornia in his Botany studies.

His study in Salt marsh is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Vegetation, Spartina maritima, Marsh and Salicornia europaea. His Salinity study incorporates themes from Photosynthesis, Chlorophyll fluorescence and Stomatal conductance. His studies in Chlorophyll fluorescence integrate themes in fields like Spartina densiflora, Photosynthetic pigment and Soil salinity.

His most cited work include:

  • Handbook of ecological restoration (269 citations)
  • Ecological Processes in Coastal Environments (204 citations)
  • Nucleation and facilitation in saltmarsh succession : interactions between Spartina maritima and Arthrocnemum perenne (195 citations)

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

Anthony J. Davy mainly focuses on Ecology, Botany, Salt marsh, Agronomy and Marsh. His Ecology research focuses on Habitat, Ecological succession, Phenology, Ecology and Plant community. His studies link Salinity with Botany.

His research integrates issues of Spartina densiflora, Halophyte, Salicornia europaea, Spartina maritima and Intertidal zone in his study of Salt marsh. His Agronomy research integrates issues from Soil water, Brown earth, Nutrient and Vegetation. The various areas that Anthony J. Davy examines in his Marsh study include Species richness and Salicornia.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (40.00%)
  • Botany (39.31%)
  • Salt marsh (24.14%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Ecology (40.00%)
  • Salt marsh (24.14%)
  • Marsh (13.79%)

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

Anthony J. Davy mostly deals with Ecology, Salt marsh, Marsh, Halophyte and Phenology. By researching both Ecology and Sediment, Anthony J. Davy produces research that crosses academic boundaries. His Salt marsh research incorporates themes from Elevation, Armeria maritima, Vegetation and Triglochin maritima.

His study focuses on the intersection of Marsh and fields such as Intertidal zone with connections in the field of Biodiversity, Sand dune stabilization, Coastal management and Habitat destruction. His studies deal with areas such as Photosynthesis, Chlorophyll fluorescence and Photosynthetic pigment as well as Halophyte. His Phenology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Vegetative reproduction, Mesocosm, Ophrys sphegodes and Germination.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Validation of biological collections as a source of phenological data for use in climate change studies: a case study with the orchid Ophrys sphegodes (123 citations)
  • Colonization of a newly developing salt marsh: disentangling independent effects of elevation and redox potential on halophytes (106 citations)
  • Does managed coastal realignment create saltmarshes with ‘equivalent biological characteristics’ to natural reference sites? (96 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Halophyte, Salt marsh, Phenology and Ophrys sphegodes. His Halophyte research is classified as research in Salinity. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Salinity, concentrating on Transpiration and intersecting with Agronomy.

His Salt marsh research includes themes of Managed retreat and Marsh. His work deals with themes such as Orchidaceae, Pseudocopulation, Pollination, Pollinator and Insect, which intersect with Phenology. His Ophrys sphegodes research includes elements of Range, Ophrys, Climate change, Herbarium and Physical geography.
