Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Climate change

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Vegetation, Climate change, Woodland and Woody plant. The Global change, Ecosystem, Global warming and Ecohydrology research he does as part of his general Ecology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Carbon starvation, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His studies in Vegetation integrate themes in fields like Biomass, Precipitation and Hydrology, Erosion, Surface runoff.

David D. Breshears does research in Climate change, focusing on Forest dieback specifically. The Woodland study which covers Canopy that intersects with Biogeochemistry, Soil temperature and Evaporation. His biological study deals with issues like Pinus edulis, which deal with fields such as Microclimate, Agronomy, Water stress and Respiration.

His most cited work include:

  • A global overview of drought and heat-induced tree mortality reveals emerging climate change risks for forests (4059 citations)
  • Mechanisms of plant survival and mortality during drought: why do some plants survive while others succumb to drought? (2316 citations)
  • Regional vegetation die-off in response to global-change-type drought (1551 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Hydrology, Climate change, Ecosystem and Vegetation. His study in Woodland, Woody plant, Canopy, Global change and Phenology falls under the purview of Ecology. His Hydrology study combines topics in areas such as Soil water, Aeolian processes and Sediment transport.

His Climate change research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Teleconnection, Earth science and Disturbance. His work is dedicated to discovering how Ecosystem, Environmental resource management are connected with Ecosystem services and other disciplines. The study incorporates disciplines such as Biomass, Arid, Physical geography and Precipitation in addition to Vegetation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (37.61%)
  • Hydrology (27.88%)
  • Climate change (19.91%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Ecology (37.61%)
  • Climate change (19.91%)
  • Environmental resource management (10.18%)

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

David D. Breshears mostly deals with Ecology, Climate change, Environmental resource management, Ecosystem and Teleconnection. His work on Extreme events, Pinus edulis and Woodland is typically connected to Natural and Function as part of general Ecology study, connecting several disciplines of science. His Climate change research includes themes of Theoretical ecology, Disturbance, Vegetation and Amazon rainforest.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Forest management, Volume, Biosphere 2 and Ecosystem services. His Ecosystem research incorporates elements of Atmospheric dispersion modeling, Biodiversity, Sediment and Exposure assessment. His Teleconnection research incorporates themes from Agriculture, Climatology, Forest ecology and Physical geography.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A multi-species synthesis of physiological mechanisms in drought-induced tree mortality (351 citations)
  • Multi-scale predictions of massive conifer mortality due to chronic temperature rise (202 citations)
  • Research frontiers for improving our understanding of drought-induced tree and forest mortality. (137 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Climate change

His scientific interests lie mostly in Climate change, Ecology, Vegetation, Environmental resource management and Ecosystem. The Climate change study combines topics in areas such as Teleconnection and Forest dynamics. Much of his study explores Ecology relationship to Northern Hemisphere.

His Vegetation research includes elements of Sustainable development, Partial least squares regression, Atmospheric sciences and Amazon rainforest. His study looks at the relationship between Environmental resource management and fields such as Ecosystem services, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His research integrates issues of Global biodiversity, Biodiversity, Coral bleaching and Biota in his study of Ecosystem.
