Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Statistics

Her main research concerns Eddy covariance, Ecosystem, Atmospheric sciences, Primary production and Carbon cycle. Her Eddy covariance research incorporates themes from Climatology, Biosphere, Photosynthetically active radiation, Latent heat and Biome. She has researched Ecosystem in several fields, including Soil water and Forestry.

Her studies deal with areas such as Atmosphere, Meteorology, Convection and FluxNet as well as Atmospheric sciences. Her studies in FluxNet integrate themes in fields like Climate change, Hydrology, Evapotranspiration, Vegetation and Terrestrial ecosystem. Her Carbon cycle research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Carbon sequestration, Soil organic matter and Forest ecology.

Her most cited work include:

  • FLUXNET: A New Tool to Study the Temporal and Spatial Variability of Ecosystem-Scale Carbon Dioxide, Water Vapor, and Energy Flux Densities (2784 citations)
  • Energy balance closure at FLUXNET sites (1689 citations)
  • Gap filling strategies for defensible annual sums of net ecosystem exchange (1402 citations)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Ecosystem, Atmospheric sciences, Eddy covariance, Ecology and Carbon cycle. The various areas that she examines in her Ecosystem study include Soil water and Climatology. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Latent heat, Canopy, Biosphere and Vegetation.

The concepts of her Eddy covariance study are interwoven with issues in Hydrology, Meteorology and Terrestrial ecosystem. Her studies deal with areas such as Vapour Pressure Deficit and Leaf area index as well as Hydrology. Her Carbon cycle research integrates issues from Carbon sequestration, Soil organic matter and Forest ecology.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Ecosystem (31.51%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (30.87%)
  • Eddy covariance (27.01%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Atmospheric sciences (30.87%)
  • Ecosystem (31.51%)
  • Climate change (10.61%)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Atmospheric sciences, Ecosystem, Climate change, Vegetation and Carbon cycle. Her Atmospheric sciences study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Eddy covariance, Growing season, Canopy, Soil respiration and Land cover. Beverly E. Law works in the field of Eddy covariance, namely FluxNet.

Her Ecosystem study deals with the bigger picture of Ecology. Her Climate change research includes themes of Biodiversity, Land use, Temperate climate, Environmental resource management and Carbon sequestration. The Carbon cycle study combines topics in areas such as Biomass fuels and Environmental protection.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • World Scientists’ Warning of a Climate Emergency (275 citations)
  • Within-species patterns challenge our understanding of the leaf economics spectrum. (99 citations)
  • Land use strategies to mitigate climate change in carbon dense temperate forests (91 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Statistics

Beverly E. Law spends much of her time researching Ecosystem, Climate change, Greenhouse gas, Agroforestry and Carbon sequestration. As part of one scientific family, Beverly E. Law deals mainly with the area of Ecosystem, narrowing it down to issues related to the Biosphere, and often Hydrometeorology and Climatology. Her Climate change research includes elements of Forest ecology, Forest structure and Environmental planning.

The concepts of her Agroforestry study are interwoven with issues in Biodiversity, Logging and Bark. Her research integrates issues of Soil science, Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere, Atmospheric sciences and Soil respiration in her study of Carbon sink. Beverly E. Law is involved in the study of Eddy covariance that focuses on FluxNet in particular.
