Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Hydrology

Bruce R. Forsberg mainly focuses on Hydrology, Floodplain, Ecology, Organic matter and Dissolved organic carbon. His study on Hydrology is often connected to Saturation as part of broader study in Hydrology. Bruce R. Forsberg has included themes like Macrophyte, Overbank, Drainage basin, Methane and Wetland in his Floodplain study.

His Ecology research includes elements of STREAMS and Sewage. Bruce R. Forsberg works mostly in the field of Organic matter, limiting it down to topics relating to Environmental chemistry and, in certain cases, Sediment. His Dissolved organic carbon study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Particulates, Aquatic ecosystem, Mineralogy and Isotopes of carbon.

His most cited work include:

  • Origins and processing of organic matter in the Amazon River as indicated by carbohydrates and amino acids (365 citations)
  • Biogeochemistry of carbon in the Amazon River (345 citations)
  • Exchanges of sediment between the flood plain and channel of the Amazon River in Brazil (333 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Hydrology, Floodplain, Amazon rainforest, Ecology and Wetland. The study incorporates disciplines such as Structural basin and Vegetation in addition to Hydrology. His Floodplain research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sediment, Amazonian, Ecosystem, Methane and Environmental chemistry.

His Amazon rainforest study also includes fields such as

  • Atmospheric sciences, which have a strong connection to Amazon basin,
  • Greenhouse gas which connect with Outflow and Hydroelectricity. In the field of Ecology, his study on Trophic level, Phytoplankton and Species richness overlaps with subjects such as Energy source. His work carried out in the field of Wetland brings together such families of science as Primary production, Geomorphology and Stage.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Hydrology (45.22%)
  • Floodplain (37.39%)
  • Amazon rainforest (33.91%)

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

  • Floodplain (37.39%)
  • Amazon rainforest (33.91%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (8.70%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Floodplain, Amazon rainforest, Atmospheric sciences, Hydrology and Ecosystem. His Floodplain research is classified as research in Ecology. His work on Trophic level, Detritus, Phytoplankton and Plankton as part of general Ecology study is frequently linked to Energy source, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

The various areas that Bruce R. Forsberg examines in his Amazon rainforest study include Tributary, STREAMS, Fishery and Greenhouse gas. His Hydrology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Structural basin, Methylmercury and Climate change. His studies in Ecosystem integrate themes in fields like Environmental chemistry, Dissolved organic carbon, Biomass and Flood myth.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The potential impact of new Andean dams on Amazon fluvial ecosystems. (80 citations)
  • Goliath catfish spawning in the far western Amazon confirmed by the distribution of mature adults, drifting larvae and migrating juveniles (57 citations)
  • Reducing greenhouse gas emissions of Amazon hydropower with strategic dam planning. (34 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Carbon dioxide

Bruce R. Forsberg focuses on Amazon rainforest, Floodplain, Wetland, Phytoplankton and Ecosystem. His work deals with themes such as Wind power, Fishery and Greenhouse gas, which intersect with Amazon rainforest. Floodplain is the subject of his research, which falls under Hydrology.

His Hydrology research incorporates themes from Hypolimnion, Methylmercury and Water column. His research in Phytoplankton intersects with topics in Stage, Photosynthesis, Total organic carbon and Plankton. His Ecosystem research incorporates elements of Drainage basin, Biomass and Overfishing.
