Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

His primary areas of investigation include Remote sensing, Wavelet, Biodiversity, Ecology and Hyperspectral imaging. His research in the fields of Endmember overlaps with other disciplines such as Spectral shape analysis. His studies deal with areas such as Feature extraction and Synthetic data as well as Wavelet.

His work carried out in the field of Biodiversity brings together such families of science as Species richness and Ecosystem. Ecology and Oceanography are frequently intertwined in his study. The Carbon cycle study combines topics in areas such as Agroforestry and Forest ecology.

His most cited work include:

  • Biomass resilience of Neotropical secondary forests (449 citations)
  • Countryside Biogeography of Neotropical Mammals: Conservation Opportunities in Agricultural Landscapes of Costa Rica (308 citations)
  • Carbon sequestration potential of second-growth forest regeneration in the Latin American tropics (233 citations)

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

His main research concerns Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, Remote sensing, Ecology, Agroforestry and Vegetation. His Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Dry season, Ecological succession, Ecosystem and Phenology. His Remote sensing research integrates issues from Wavelet and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index.

His Ecology study frequently links to other fields, such as Drought tolerance. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biodiversity, Land use, Climate change, Deforestation and Forest ecology. His work deals with themes such as Agriculture and Biogeography, which intersect with Biodiversity.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests (37.17%)
  • Remote sensing (36.28%)
  • Ecology (23.01%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests (37.17%)
  • Remote sensing (36.28%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (9.73%)

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

His primary areas of study are Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, Remote sensing, Atmospheric sciences, Climate change and Ecology. Arturo Sanchez-Azofeifa has included themes like Dry season and Ecosystem, Ecosystem services in his Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests study. His Remote sensing research incorporates themes from Point cloud, Eddy covariance and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index.

His research integrates issues of Wind speed and Forest ecology in his study of Atmospheric sciences. His work in Forest ecology addresses subjects such as Ecosystem ecology, which are connected to disciplines such as Tropics. Secondary succession is the focus of his Ecology research.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Biodiversity recovery of Neotropical secondary forests (100 citations)
  • Legume abundance along successional and rainfall gradients in Neotropical forests. (48 citations)
  • Wet and dry tropical forests show opposite successional pathways in wood density but converge over time (40 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Arturo Sanchez-Azofeifa mostly deals with Ecology, Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, Remote sensing, Vegetation and Dry season. Forest inventory, Forest ecology, Plant ecology, Dominance and Ecosystem ecology is closely connected to Drought tolerance in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Ecology. His Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests study incorporates themes from Mapping algorithm, Chronosequence and Scale.

Specifically, his work in Remote sensing is concerned with the study of Hyperspectral imaging. His Vegetation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Wavelet, Atmospheric sciences and Tree canopy. The study incorporates disciplines such as Biodiversity, Species richness and Disturbance in addition to Secondary succession.
