Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Habitat

David J. Augustine mainly focuses on Ecology, Ecosystem, Herbivore, Rangeland and Exclosure. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Productivity, Ungulate, Grassland and Shrub. The Herbivore study which covers Biomass that intersects with Woody plant.

He has included themes like Livestock, Nutrient, Vegetation and Bushland in his Rangeland study. The Vegetation study combines topics in areas such as Arid, Canopy, Biome and Disturbance. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Grazing, concentrating on Growing season and frequently concerns with Introduced species.

His most cited work include:

  • Determinants of woody cover in African savannas (1322 citations)
  • Ungulate Effects on the Functional Species Composition of Plant Communities: Herbivore Selectivity and Plant Tolerance (795 citations)
  • Regulation of shrub dynamics by native browsing ungulates on East African rangeland (234 citations)

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

David J. Augustine mainly investigates Ecology, Grazing, Rangeland, Grassland and Herbivore. Ecosystem, Steppe, Prairie dog, Habitat and Plant community are subfields of Ecology in which his conducts study. His studies deal with areas such as Productivity, Ungulate, Grazing pressure and Shrub as well as Ecosystem.

His Grazing research incorporates themes from Stocking, Pasture, Vegetation and Ecosystem services. His research in Rangeland intersects with topics in Biomass, Livestock, Forage and Arid. His work in Herbivore addresses subjects such as Forb, which are connected to disciplines such as Deciduous and Understory.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (63.71%)
  • Grazing (35.48%)
  • Rangeland (33.87%)

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

  • Grazing (35.48%)
  • Rangeland (33.87%)
  • Ecology (63.71%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Grazing, Rangeland, Ecology, Herbivore and Grassland. His work deals with themes such as Livestock, Steppe and Ecosystem services, which intersect with Grazing. His Steppe study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Stocking and Vegetation.

His work carried out in the field of Rangeland brings together such families of science as Adaptive management, Ecosystem, Growing season and Sustainability. His Herbivore research includes elements of Arid, Ungulate and Resistance. The study incorporates disciplines such as Spatial ecology, Spatial heterogeneity and Nest in addition to Grassland.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Vulnerability of grazing and confined livestock in the Northern Great Plains to projected mid and late-twenty-first century climate (34 citations)
  • Elevated CO2 induces substantial and persistent declines in forage quality irrespective of warming in mixedgrass prairie. (32 citations)
  • Evaluating strategies for sustainable intensification of US agriculture through the Long-Term Agroecosystem Research network (27 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Habitat

David J. Augustine focuses on Ecology, Grassland, Rangeland, Steppe and Grazing. His study in Herbivore, Basal area, Productivity, Canopy and Acacia is carried out as part of his studies in Ecology. His study in the field of Exclosure also crosses realms of Defaunation.

In his research, Biodiversity and Biomass is intimately related to Agriculture, which falls under the overarching field of Rangeland. His Steppe study combines topics in areas such as Soil texture, Agronomy, Vegetation and Habitat. His Grazing research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Environmental resource management, Beef cattle, Livestock, Plant community and Adaptive capacity.
