What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Biodiversity
Ecology, Ecosystem, Biodiversity, Plant litter and Species richness are his primary areas of study.
His studies in Biomass, Riparian zone and Nutrient are all subfields of Ecology research.
His Ecosystem study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Aquatic ecosystem.
His research in Biodiversity intersects with topics in Trophic level, Invertebrate, Benthic zone and Species diversity.
His Plant litter study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Community structure and Litter.
He has included themes like Restoration ecology, Benthos, Habitat, Interspecific competition and Taxon in his Species richness study.
His most cited work include:
- Riparian plant litter quality increases with latitude. (1037 citations)
- Diversity meets decomposition (735 citations)
- Consequences of biodiversity loss for litter decomposition across biomes (376 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of study are Ecology, Ecosystem, Biodiversity, Riparian zone and Habitat.
Ecology is represented through his Plant litter, Detritivore, Invertebrate, Species richness and Chironomidae research.
The concepts of his Plant litter study are interwoven with issues in Biome and Litter.
His specific area of interest is Ecosystem, where Brendan G. McKie studies Decomposer.
In his research on the topic of Biodiversity, Aquatic organisms is strongly related with Stream restoration.
His studies deal with areas such as Food web, Terrestrial ecosystem, Vegetation and Land use as well as Riparian zone.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (101.10%)
- Ecosystem (50.55%)
- Biodiversity (41.76%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

- Riparian zone (21.98%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Brendan G. McKie mainly investigates Ecology, Ecosystem, Riparian zone, Habitat and Terrestrial ecosystem.
His Biodiversity, Plant litter, Species richness, Detritivore and Litter study are his primary interests in Ecology.
His Plant litter study combines topics in areas such as River ecosystem and Biome.
Brendan G. McKie performs integrative study on Ecosystem and Disturbance.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Biota and Electrofishing in addition to Riparian zone.
Brendan G. McKie has researched Habitat in several fields, including Agriculture, Vegetation, Trophic level, Food web and Aquatic ecosystem.
Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Global patterns and drivers of ecosystem functioning in rivers and riparian zones (39 citations)
- Assessing the benefits of forested riparian zones : a qualitative index of riparian integrity is positively associated with ecological status in European streams (16 citations)
- Biodiversity of leaf litter fungi in streams along a latitudinal gradient (14 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Biodiversity
His main research concerns Ecosystem, Ecology, Riparian zone, Plant litter and Aquatic ecosystem.
His studies in Ecosystem integrate themes in fields like Biodiversity, Environmental resource management and Sustainable development.
His Biodiversity study incorporates themes from Species richness, Biogeochemical cycle and Biogeography.
His Riparian zone study improves the overall literature in Habitat.
His study in Plant litter is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both River ecosystem, Global biodiversity and Biome.
His Aquatic ecosystem research includes themes of Agriculture, Electrofishing, Biota, Dominance and Hydropower.
