1991 - Fellow of John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Ecosystem

His primary areas of study are Ecological succession, Ecology, Amazon rainforest, Old-growth forest and Biomass. The various areas that Christopher Uhl examines in his Ecological succession study include Amazonian, Species richness, Agronomy and Forb. Christopher Uhl focuses mostly in the field of Species richness, narrowing it down to topics relating to Forestry and, in certain cases, Hectare.

The concepts of his Amazon rainforest study are interwoven with issues in Rainforest, Logging, Secondary forest and Pasture. His Logging research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Forest management, Agroforestry and Forest restoration. His Old-growth forest study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Canopy and Pioneer species.

His most cited work include:

  • Abandoned pastures in eastern Amazonia. I. Patterns of plant succession (732 citations)
  • Deforestation, Fire Susceptibility, and Potential Tree Responses to Fire in the Eastern Amazon (544 citations)
  • Leaf lifespan as a determinant of leaf structure and function among 23 amazonian tree species. (512 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Amazon rainforest, Agroforestry, Ecology, Logging and Rainforest. Christopher Uhl has included themes like Floodplain, Land use, Environmental protection and Forestry, Secondary forest in his Amazon rainforest study. His study on Agroforestry also encompasses disciplines like

  • Vegetation that intertwine with fields like Propagule,
  • Agriculture and related Secondary succession.

His biological study deals with issues like Forest management, which deal with fields such as Stocking, Wood industry and Forest ecology. As a part of the same scientific study, Christopher Uhl usually deals with the Rainforest, concentrating on Agronomy and frequently concerns with Woody plant. His work deals with themes such as Biomass, Pasture, Species richness, Specific leaf area and Forb, which intersect with Ecological succession.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Amazon rainforest (46.84%)
  • Agroforestry (36.71%)
  • Ecology (27.85%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1999-2011)?

  • Agroforestry (36.71%)
  • Amazon rainforest (46.84%)
  • Pedagogy (3.80%)

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

Christopher Uhl focuses on Agroforestry, Amazon rainforest, Pedagogy, Ecology and Teaching method. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Host plants, Forestry and Bark. The study incorporates disciplines such as Tropical rain forest, Archaeology, Nature Conservation, Logging and Forest fragmentation in addition to Amazon rainforest.

His study looks at the relationship between Logging and topics such as Species diversity, which overlap with Liana. His research on Ecology often connects related topics like Demography. His study focuses on the intersection of Secondary forest and fields such as Forest product with connections in the field of Heteropsis and Rainforest.

Between 1999 and 2011, his most popular works were:

  • Leaf demography and phenology in Amazonian rain forest : a census of 40,000 leaves of 23 tree species (122 citations)
  • Green Destiny: Universities Leading the Way to a Sustainable Future (54 citations)
  • Evaluating ipê (Tabebuia, Bignoniaceae) logging in Amazonia: Sustainable management or catalyst for forest degradation? (53 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Ecosystem

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Business, Destiny, Forest product and Heteropsis. His is doing research in Evergreen, Plant community, Rainforest, Understory and Phenology, both of which are found in Ecology. His Forest product research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Vine, Secondary forest and Non-timber forest product.

His research brings together the fields of Liana and Heteropsis.
