Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • Ecosystem
  • Agriculture

His primary areas of study are Climate change, Terrestrial ecosystem, Ecosystem, Land use, land-use change and forestry and Urbanization. The Climate change study combines topics in areas such as Soil carbon and Climatology. His work carried out in the field of Soil carbon brings together such families of science as Sink and Carbon sink.

His studies in Terrestrial ecosystem integrate themes in fields like Forest ecology, Greenhouse gas and Environmental protection. His Ecosystem study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Soil science and Atmospheric sciences. His Land use, land-use change and forestry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Land cover and Ecosystem model.

His most cited work include:

  • Pattern and variation of C:N:P ratios in China’s soils: a synthesis of observational data (288 citations)
  • Model estimates of net primary productivity, evapotranspiration, and water use efficiency in the terrestrial ecosystems of the southern United States during 1895–2007 (217 citations)
  • The rapid and massive urban and industrial land expansions in China between 1990 and 2010: A CLUD-based analysis of their trajectories, patterns, and drivers (194 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Climate change, Ecosystem, Terrestrial ecosystem, Atmospheric sciences and Precipitation. His study in the field of Global warming is also linked to topics like Central asia. Chi Zhang interconnects Spatial heterogeneity, Sink, Wetland and Water-use efficiency in the investigation of issues within Ecosystem.

His Terrestrial ecosystem study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Environmental protection, Primary production, Carbon cycle, Greenhouse gas and Ecosystem model. His research in Atmospheric sciences intersects with topics in Irrigation, Pollution and Global change. His Precipitation research incorporates elements of Arid, Climatology and Moisture.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climate change (50.77%)
  • Ecosystem (43.08%)
  • Terrestrial ecosystem (33.85%)

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

  • Paddy field (12.31%)
  • Climate change (50.77%)
  • Precipitation (29.23%)

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

Chi Zhang mainly investigates Paddy field, Climate change, Precipitation, Water resource management and Ecosystem. His studies deal with areas such as Land change, Agriculture, Food trade and Crop as well as Paddy field. His research on Climate change focuses in particular on Global warming.

His Precipitation research incorporates themes from Arid, Soil water, Forestry and Land use, land-use change and forestry. His study ties his expertise on Water-use efficiency together with the subject of Water resource management.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Improved inversion of aerosol components in the atmospheric column from remote sensing data (3 citations)
  • Large-scale rain-fed to paddy farmland conversion modified land-surface thermal properties in Cold China. (2 citations)
  • Large-scale rain-fed to paddy farmland conversion modified land-surface thermal properties in Cold China. (2 citations)

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

  • Climate change
  • Agriculture
  • Ecosystem

Latent heat, Global warming, Atmospheric sciences, Sanjiang Plain and Climate change are his primary areas of study. His Latent heat research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Growing season, Sensible heat, Paddy field and Irrigation.
