What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Botany
- Statistics
Ecology, Botany, Specific leaf area, Herbaceous plant and Ecosystem are his primary areas of study.
His Ecology study incorporates themes from Structural equation modeling and Path analysis.
His work is dedicated to discovering how Botany, Agronomy are connected with Plant species and other disciplines.
While the research belongs to areas of Specific leaf area, Bill Shipley spends his time largely on the problem of Horticulture, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Dry matter and Standard error.
He has researched Herbaceous plant in several fields, including Relative growth rate, Nutrient, Allometry and Interspecific competition.
His research in Ecosystem intersects with topics in Secondary succession, Ecological succession and Abiotic component.
His most cited work include:
- TRY - a global database of plant traits (1611 citations)
- The global spectrum of plant form and function (972 citations)
- Cause and Correlation in Biology: A User's Guide to Path Analysis, Structural Equations and Causal Inference with R (877 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Botany, Specific leaf area, Herbaceous plant and Interspecific competition.
His is doing research in Plant community, Species richness, Ecosystem, Biomass and Relative species abundance, both of which are found in Ecology.
Bill Shipley focuses mostly in the field of Plant community, narrowing it down to topics relating to Grassland and, in certain cases, Vegetation.
He has included themes like Nutrient, Allometry and Horticulture in his Botany study.
His research investigates the link between Allometry and topics such as Context that cross with problems in Statistics.
His Herbaceous plant research incorporates themes from Relative growth rate and Unit root.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (51.18%)
- Botany (25.88%)
- Specific leaf area (17.65%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Ecology (51.18%)
- Intraspecific competition (4.12%)
- Ecosystem (10.00%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of study are Ecology, Intraspecific competition, Ecosystem, Habitat and Vegetation.
In general Ecology study, his work on Species richness, Limiting similarity and Plant litter often relates to the realm of Disturbance and Geography, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
His work deals with themes such as Understory, Global change and Interspecific competition, which intersect with Intraspecific competition.
His research integrates issues of Water-use efficiency, Stomatal conductance, Competition, Field capacity and Specific leaf area in his study of Habitat.
His Specific leaf area research focuses on subjects like Temperate rainforest, which are linked to Growing season.
His work in the fields of Plant community overlaps with other areas such as Tailings.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (179 citations)
- Habitat filtering determines the functional niche occupancy of plant communities worldwide (24 citations)
- Community divergence and convergence along experimental gradients of stress and disturbance. (15 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Botany
- Statistics
Bill Shipley spends much of his time researching Ecology, Habitat, Specific leaf area, Abundance and Geography.
His Ecology study often links to related topics such as Convergence.
His work carried out in the field of Habitat brings together such families of science as Field capacity, Competition, Water-use efficiency and Stomatal conductance.
His Specific leaf area research includes elements of Agronomy, Growing season, Temperate rainforest, Deciduous and Understory.
Bill Shipley performs multidisciplinary studies into Abundance and Dynamics in his work.
