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 Ecosystem services, Ecology, Introduced species, Environmental resource management and Ecosystem. The study incorporates disciplines such as Conservation planning, Carbon storage and Geographic distribution in addition to Ecosystem services. His work on Invasive species, Biodiversity and Ecology as part of his general Ecology study is frequently connected to Correlative and Simulation modeling, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Adaptive management and Climate change. His biological study deals with issues like Restoration ecology, which deal with fields such as Environmental restoration and Natural capital. His study in the fields of Ecosystem valuation under the domain of Ecosystem overlaps with other disciplines such as Carbon sequestration.

His most cited work include:

  • Trading water for carbon with biological carbon sequestration (874 citations)
  • Mapping ecosystem services for planning and management (418 citations)
  • Impacts of invasive Australian acacias: implications for management and restoration (229 citations)

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

Ecology, Ecosystem services, Environmental resource management, Invasive species and Biodiversity are his primary areas of study. His study with Ecosystem services involves better knowledge in Ecosystem. His Ecosystem research includes elements of Soil water, Land degradation and Environmental protection.

His Environmental resource management research incorporates themes from Biodiversity hotspot, Livelihood and Natural resource management. His studies deal with areas such as Prosopis and Biogeography as well as Invasive species. The Biodiversity study combines topics in areas such as Environmental planning, Agriculture, Disturbance, Vegetation and Terrestrial ecosystem.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (42.86%)
  • Ecosystem services (27.38%)
  • Environmental resource management (26.19%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Streamflow (9.52%)
  • Hydrology (15.48%)
  • Riparian zone (9.52%)

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

David C. Le Maitre mainly focuses on Streamflow, Hydrology, Riparian zone, Ecology and Drainage basin. His work deals with themes such as Groundwater discharge, Aquifer, Groundwater and Seasonality, which intersect with Streamflow. In his study, Surface water, Water use, Land cover and Introduced species is strongly linked to Water supply, which falls under the umbrella field of Riparian zone.

Invasive species, Plant species, Acacia mearnsii, Grassland and Biome are subfields of Ecology in which his conducts study. His research investigates the connection with Invasive species and areas like Habitat which intersect with concerns in Species richness. His Drainage basin study frequently involves adjacent topics like Afforestation.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A framework for engaging stakeholders on the management of alien species. (70 citations)
  • Assessment of the contribution of groundwater discharges to rivers using monthly flow statistics and flow seasonality (22 citations)
  • The biogeography of South African terrestrial plant invasions. (21 citations)
