Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Biodiversity
  • Climate change
  • Ecosystem

His scientific interests lie mostly in Amazon rainforest, Deforestation, Land use, Agroforestry and Environmental protection. Carlos Souza has researched Amazon rainforest in several fields, including Land cover, Logging, Vegetation, Mixture model and Remote sensing. The study incorporates disciplines such as Climate change and Secondary forest in addition to Deforestation.

His Land use research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Remote sensing and Disturbance. Carlos Souza has included themes like Rainforest and Natural resource management in his Agroforestry study. His research integrates issues of Sustainable development and Ecosystem services in his study of Environmental protection.

His most cited work include:

  • Positive feedbacks in the fire dynamic of closed canopy tropical forests (719 citations)
  • The Amazon basin in transition (676 citations)
  • Anthropogenic disturbance in tropical forests can double biodiversity loss from deforestation (404 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Amazon rainforest, Deforestation, Logging, Agroforestry and Forestry. His Amazon rainforest research includes elements of Environmental protection, Agriculture, Land cover, Vegetation and Sustainability. His Deforestation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Land use, Climate change, Environmental resource management, Ecosystem and Greenhouse gas.

The Ecosystem study combines topics in areas such as Physical geography and Water cycle. His Logging study combines topics in areas such as Remote sensing, Satellite imagery and Canopy. His Canopy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Biomass and Disturbance.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Amazon rainforest (61.54%)
  • Deforestation (50.00%)
  • Logging (24.36%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Deforestation (50.00%)
  • Amazon rainforest (61.54%)
  • Land cover (15.38%)

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

Carlos Souza mostly deals with Deforestation, Amazon rainforest, Land cover, Remote sensing and Biome. The concepts of his Deforestation study are interwoven with issues in Forest restoration and Forest ecology. His Forest ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Old-growth forest, Agroforestry, Forest management and Secondary forest.

Carlos Souza interconnects Habitat fragmentation, Land use, Climate change, Environmental resource management and Forestry in the investigation of issues within Amazon rainforest. His Land cover research incorporates elements of Physical geography and Vegetation. His Remote sensing study which covers Deep learning that intersects with Remote sensing.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Anthropogenic disturbance in tropical forests can double biodiversity loss from deforestation (404 citations)
  • Changes in Climate and Land Use Over the Amazon Region: Current and Future Variability and Trends (84 citations)
  • Reconstructing Three Decades of Land Use and Land Cover Changes in Brazilian Biomes with Landsat Archive and Earth Engine (45 citations)

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

  • Biodiversity
  • Ecosystem
  • Climate change

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Land use, Amazon rainforest, Deforestation, Old-growth forest and Biome. His Land use study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Climate change, Sustainability, Environmental resource management and Tipping point. His study brings together the fields of Land use, land-use change and forestry and Amazon rainforest.

His work deals with themes such as Forest management, Secondary forest, Intact forest landscape, Forest ecology and Conservation biology, which intersect with Old-growth forest. Carlos Souza combines subjects such as Agroforestry and Forest restoration with his study of Conservation biology. His studies in Biome integrate themes in fields like Land cover, Vegetation, Agriculture and Physical geography.
