Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Climate change

Christopher J. Still mainly focuses on Ecosystem, Atmospheric sciences, Ecology, Carbon cycle and Global change. Christopher J. Still combines subjects such as Soil water, Soil respiration, Respiration and Terrestrial ecosystem with his study of Atmospheric sciences. His Climate change, Arid, Grassland and Growing season study in the realm of Ecology connects with subjects such as Phylogenetics.

His study in Carbon cycle is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biomass, Ecosystem respiration, Vegetation and Hydrology. His Ecosystem respiration study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Biosphere and Physical geography. The Global change study combines topics in areas such as Ecology and Biogeochemical cycle.

His most cited work include:

  • Widespread amphibian extinctions from epidemic disease driven by global warming (1396 citations)
  • The Origins of C4 Grasslands: Integrating Evolutionary and Ecosystem Science (666 citations)
  • Global distribution of C3 and C4 vegetation: Carbon cycle implications (554 citations)

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

Atmospheric sciences, Ecology, Ecosystem, Climate change and Global change are his primary areas of study. His Atmospheric sciences study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Climatology, Soil water, Canopy, Carbon cycle and Vegetation. His work in Carbon cycle covers topics such as Carbon sink which are related to areas like Primary production.

His Ecosystem research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Hydrology and Growing season. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biosphere and Biogeochemical cycle. The concepts of his Biosphere study are interwoven with issues in Terrestrial ecosystem and Physical geography.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Atmospheric sciences (31.76%)
  • Ecology (32.19%)
  • Ecosystem (21.03%)

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

  • Ecology (32.19%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (31.76%)
  • Climate change (11.59%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Atmospheric sciences, Climate change, Ecosystem and Biome. The Global change, Dominance, Water use and Plant functional type research Christopher J. Still does as part of his general Ecology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Cover, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His Atmospheric sciences study combines topics in areas such as Soil water, Canopy, Old-growth forest and Transpiration.

The various areas that Christopher J. Still examines in his Climate change study include Adaptation, Agroforestry and Forestry. His research investigates the connection between Ecosystem and topics such as Temporal scales that intersect with problems in Temperature measurement, Ecosystem ecology, Earth science and Geospatial analysis. His Biome research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Range, Vegetation and Temperate climate.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Comment on “The global tree restoration potential” (63 citations)
  • Climate and lawn management interact to control C4 plant distribution in residential lawns across seven U.S. cities. (23 citations)
  • Thermal imaging in plant and ecosystem ecology: applications and challenges (22 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Climate change

His main research concerns Ecology, Water use, Vegetation, Climate change and Ecohydrology. His work on Dominance, Earth system model, Grassland and Plant functional type as part of general Ecology study is frequently linked to Cover, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Vegetation research includes themes of Soil water, Atmospheric sciences and Ecosystem, Biome.

Atmospheric sciences is closely attributed to Water content in his study. His work carried out in the field of Biome brings together such families of science as Biodiversity, Global change, Biosphere and Vascular plant. Christopher J. Still focuses mostly in the field of Climate change, narrowing it down to topics relating to Forestry and, in certain cases, Woodland and Canopy.
