Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • Habitat

Brett R. Scheffers mainly investigates Climate change, Biodiversity, Ecology, Ecosystem and Microclimate. His Climate change research incorporates elements of Rainforest and Vegetation, Tree cover, Understory. His work in the fields of Biodiversity, such as Biodiversity hotspot, overlaps with other areas such as Food security.

His Ecology study incorporates themes from Extinction and Morphology. His Microclimate research focuses on Critical thermal maximum and how it connects with Habitat. His Environmental resource management research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Environmental studies, Global biodiversity, Effects of global warming and Temporal scales.

His most cited work include:

  • Biodiversity redistribution under climate change: impacts on ecosystems and human well-being (941 citations)
  • Assessing species' vulnerability to climate change (486 citations)
  • Assessing species' vulnerability to climate change (486 citations)

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

Brett R. Scheffers mostly deals with Ecology, Biodiversity, Climate change, Habitat and Rainforest. His Biodiversity research includes elements of Stratification, Agroforestry and Extinction. His Climate change study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Microclimate, Environmental resource management and Ecosystem.

In his study, Environmental studies, Temporal scales and Global biodiversity is inextricably linked to Effects of global warming, which falls within the broad field of Environmental resource management. His study in Habitat is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Abundance, Critical thermal maximum and Woodland. His Rainforest study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Canopy and Vegetation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (97.30%)
  • Biodiversity (41.89%)
  • Climate change (36.49%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Ecology (97.30%)
  • Climate change (36.49%)
  • Biodiversity (41.89%)

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

Brett R. Scheffers mainly focuses on Ecology, Climate change, Biodiversity, Biogeography and Microclimate. The concepts of his Climate change study are interwoven with issues in Critical thermal maximum and Acclimatization. His Biodiversity research incorporates elements of Invertebrate and Wildlife trade, Wildlife.

His Biogeography research includes themes of Elevation, Range, Tropics and Rainforest. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Global and Planetary Change and Environmental resource management. His Environmental resource management research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sustainability and Ecosystem, Ecosystem services.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • SoilTemp: A global database of near-surface temperature (25 citations)
  • Decoupled erosion of amphibians' phylogenetic and functional diversity due to extinction (10 citations)
  • Impacts of wildlife trade on terrestrial biodiversity. (3 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • Habitat

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biodiversity, Extinction, Ecology, Global warming and Climate change. His work deals with themes such as Stratification, Wildlife trade, Seasonality, Panama and Rainforest, which intersect with Biodiversity. His work carried out in the field of Extinction brings together such families of science as Invertebrate, Functional diversity and Homogenization.

In general Ecology, his work in Habitat, Critical thermal maximum, Pristimantis and Secondary forest is often linked to Context linking many areas of study. Brett R. Scheffers has researched Global warming in several fields, including Global and Planetary Change, Vegetation, Radiative forcing, Biome and Microclimate. Climate change is often connected to Understory in his work.
