Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Ecosystem, Biodiversity, Species richness and Carbon cycle. In the subject of general Ecosystem, his work in Decomposer is often linked to Climatology, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His research in Biodiversity tackles topics such as Productivity which are related to areas like Resistance and Growing season.

His Species richness study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Shrub, Ecosystem diversity, Extinction and Ecosystem services. His Carbon cycle study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Primary production, Biogeochemical cycle, Carbon sink, Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere and Terrestrial ecosystem. In his study, Plant functional type and Biological dispersal is strongly linked to Range, which falls under the umbrella field of Vegetation.

His most cited work include:

  • TRY - a global database of plant traits (1611 citations)
  • Recent patterns and mechanisms of carbon exchange by terrestrial ecosystems (1085 citations)
  • The global spectrum of plant form and function (972 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Ecosystem, Biodiversity, Species richness and Biomass. His study involves Forest ecology, Species diversity, Tree species, Vegetation and Plant community, a branch of Ecology. Vegetation is frequently linked to Range in his study.

In his research, Boreal is intimately related to Taiga, which falls under the overarching field of Ecosystem. His Biodiversity research includes themes of Abundance, Canopy, Grassland and Ecosystem services. His Species richness research focuses on subjects like Agronomy, which are linked to Botany.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (70.94%)
  • Ecosystem (39.25%)
  • Biodiversity (37.74%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Ecology (70.94%)
  • Biodiversity (37.74%)
  • Ecosystem (39.25%)

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

Christian Wirth focuses on Ecology, Biodiversity, Ecosystem, Species richness and Tree species. His study on Ecology is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Biological dispersal. The concepts of his Biodiversity study are interwoven with issues in Mediterranean climate, Database and Ecosystem services.

His Ecosystem research includes elements of Biomass, Abiotic component, Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests and Environmental resource management. His Species richness research incorporates themes from Productivity and Subtropics. His Tree species research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Species distribution, Climate change, Forest ecology and Physical geography.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (179 citations)
  • TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (179 citations)
  • The Future of Complementarity: Disentangling Causes from Consequences (73 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

His scientific interests lie mostly in Biodiversity, Ecosystem, Ecology, Species richness and Abiotic component. Christian Wirth usually deals with Biodiversity and limits it to topics linked to Ecosystem services and Regional science. In general Ecosystem study, his work on Decomposer often relates to the realm of Atmospheric sciences, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

Ecosystem ecology, Ecology, Niche, Plant community and Trophic level are the primary areas of interest in his Ecology study. His Species richness study combines topics in areas such as Productivity, Forest management, Forest ecology and Tree species. His Abiotic component research incorporates elements of Facilitation, Monoculture and Plant–soil feedback.
