Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

David A. Neill mainly focuses on Ecology, Amazon rainforest, Biomass, Rainforest and Carbon sink. David A. Neill conducted interdisciplinary study in his works that combined Ecology and Deforestation. David A. Neill studied Amazon rainforest and Biodiversity that intersect with Habitat.

His Rainforest study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Agroforestry, Carbon cycle and Agronomy. The various areas that David A. Neill examines in his Carbon cycle study include Biomass and Climate change, Global change. Sink and Carbon sequestration is closely connected to Carbon dioxide in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Carbon sink.

His most cited work include:

  • Drought sensitivity of the Amazon rainforest. (1175 citations)
  • Hyperdominance in the Amazonian Tree Flora (647 citations)
  • Variation in wood density determines spatial patterns in Amazonian forest biomass (620 citations)

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

David A. Neill focuses on Ecology, Amazon rainforest, Amazonian, Biomass and Botany. His research related to Rainforest, Basal area, Species richness, Ecosystem and Forest dynamics might be considered part of Ecology. His research investigates the link between Rainforest and topics such as Agronomy that cross with problems in Soil water.

His Amazon rainforest research includes themes of Biodiversity, Tropics, Transect, Carbon sink and Liana. David A. Neill interconnects Agroforestry, Rare species, Common species, Habitat and Dominance in the investigation of issues within Amazonian. His research in Biomass intersects with topics in Productivity, Physical geography, Allometry and Tropical climate.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (63.81%)
  • Amazon rainforest (40.95%)
  • Amazonian (25.71%)

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

  • Amazon rainforest (40.95%)
  • Ecology (63.81%)
  • Amazonian (25.71%)

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

His main research concerns Amazon rainforest, Ecology, Amazonian, Botany and Ecosystem. His study in Amazon rainforest is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biodiversity, Taxon, Forest ecology, Forest dynamics and Understory. While working on this project, David A. Neill studies both Ecology and Term.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Niche and Tree species. His study in the field of Schefflera, Talauma, Magnoliaceae and Schradereae is also linked to topics like Magnolia dixonii. David A. Neill focuses mostly in the field of Ecosystem, narrowing it down to topics relating to Biomass and, in certain cases, Tropical climate and Productivity.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Compositional response of Amazon forests to climate change (111 citations)
  • Long-term thermal sensitivity of Earth’s tropical forests (38 citations)
  • Competition influences tree growth, but not mortality, across environmental gradients in Amazonia and tropical Africa (23 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

Amazon rainforest, Ecology, Tropics, Productivity and Carbon cycle are his primary areas of study. The Amazon rainforest study combines topics in areas such as Edaphic, Soil fertility, Taxon, Ecosystem and Forest dynamics. His work deals with themes such as Biodiversity and Climate change, which intersect with Tropics.

His Biodiversity research includes elements of Coppicing, Monodominance, Amazonian, Life history theory and Forest ecology. His research links Biomass with Productivity. His Carbon cycle study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Global change and Understory.
