Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Statistics

David A. Coomes mainly investigates Ecology, Ecosystem, Forest ecology, Biomass and Trait. Competition, Beech, Basal area, Nutrient and Plant community are the core of his Ecology study. His studies examine the connections between Ecosystem and genetics, as well as such issues in Herbaceous plant, with regards to Environmental gradient, Soil fertility, Wood production and Productivity.

His Forest ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Agroforestry, Species richness and Biome. His Biomass research includes elements of Hyperspectral imaging, Carbon cycle and Vegetation. David A. Coomes has researched Functional ecology in several fields, including Taxon, Tree species, Biogeochemistry and Secondary chemistry.

His most cited work include:

  • Towards a worldwide wood economics spectrum (1631 citations)
  • TRY - a global database of plant traits (1611 citations)
  • Biodiversity conservation: challenges beyond 2010. (653 citations)

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

Ecology, Biodiversity, Ecosystem, Canopy and Remote sensing are his primary areas of study. His study in Understory, Herbivore, Biomass, Plant community and Species richness is carried out as part of his Ecology studies. His work carried out in the field of Herbivore brings together such families of science as Introduced species and Invasive species.

His Biodiversity research also works with subjects such as

  • Temperate rainforest most often made with reference to Agroforestry,
  • Deforestation which intersects with area such as Fragmentation. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Soil water and Ecology. His study focuses on the intersection of Canopy and fields such as Climate change with connections in the field of Microclimate and Basal area.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (68.06%)
  • Biodiversity (15.28%)
  • Ecosystem (17.01%)

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

  • Ecology (68.06%)
  • Canopy (14.93%)
  • Biodiversity (15.28%)

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

David A. Coomes spends much of his time researching Ecology, Canopy, Biodiversity, Atmospheric sciences and Ecosystem. His research links Tree with Ecology. His Canopy study combines topics in areas such as Lidar, Climate change, Physical geography and Amazon rainforest.

His Biodiversity research includes themes of Range, Agroforestry, Taxon, Identification and Species richness. His Atmospheric sciences study incorporates themes from Tropical forest, Wind speed and Tropical rainforest. His studies deal with areas such as Global biodiversity, Ecology, Logging and Environmental resource management as well as Ecosystem.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (179 citations)
  • Asynchronous carbon sink saturation in African and Amazonian tropical forests (84 citations)
  • Advances in Microclimate Ecology Arising from Remote Sensing (74 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Statistics

His primary areas of study are Canopy, Biodiversity, Ecology, Ecosystem and Atmospheric sciences. His work in the fields of Canopy, such as Understory, intersects with other areas such as Specific leaf area. His Biodiversity research incorporates themes from Agroforestry, Reforestation, Ecosystem structure, Agriculture and Fragmentation.

His is doing research in Woody plant, Productivity, Forest management and Forest ecology, both of which are found in Ecology. His research in Productivity intersects with topics in Species richness and Tree species. His research integrates issues of Global biodiversity, Ecology, Environmental resource management, Structural complexity and Aquatic ecosystem in his study of Ecosystem.
