Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Climate change

His main research concerns Atmospheric sciences, Ecology, Botany, Carbon cycle and Paleontology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Ice core and Methane in addition to Atmospheric sciences. When carried out as part of a general Botany research project, his work on Photosynthesis, Transpiration and Ginkgo biloba is frequently linked to work in Mycorrhiza, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

His studies in Carbon cycle integrate themes in fields like Earth science and Weathering. His Paleontology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Global warming, Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere, Carbon dioxide and Isotopes of carbon. His work on Paleoatmosphere as part of general Phanerozoic study is frequently connected to Paleoclimatology, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

His most cited work include:

  • Target atmospheric CO2: Where should humanity aim? (893 citations)
  • The interdependence of mechanisms underlying climate-driven vegetation mortality (637 citations)
  • The global methane budget 2000–2012 (530 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Atmospheric sciences, Botany, Climate change and Carbon cycle. His research investigates the connection between Atmospheric sciences and topics such as Methane that intersect with problems in Wetland. His Botany research focuses on subjects like Carbon dioxide, which are linked to Water-use efficiency.

The concepts of his Climate change study are interwoven with issues in Climatology and Greenhouse gas. His studies deal with areas such as Paleontology, Weathering, Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere and Earth science as well as Carbon cycle. His research in the fields of Cretaceous overlaps with other disciplines such as Phanerozoic.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (24.55%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (20.30%)
  • Botany (18.48%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Ecology (24.55%)
  • Climate change (17.88%)
  • Ecosystem (12.12%)

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

David J. Beerling mainly focuses on Ecology, Climate change, Ecosystem, Weathering and Botany. His work on Vegetation, Biodiversity, Global change and Temperate climate as part of general Ecology study is frequently linked to Extinction, bridging the gap between disciplines. His research in Climate change intersects with topics in Soil carbon, Environmental protection, Atmospheric sciences, Greenhouse gas and Fossil fuel.

His work deals with themes such as Atmospheric chemistry, Wetland and Natural gas, which intersect with Atmospheric sciences. The Weathering study combines topics in areas such as Carbon sequestration, Carbon cycle and Earth science. The Sporophyte and Photosynthesis research David J. Beerling does as part of his general Botany study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Glomeromycota, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The global methane budget 2000–2012 (530 citations)
  • A multi-species synthesis of physiological mechanisms in drought-induced tree mortality (351 citations)
  • First evidence of mutualism between ancient plant lineages (Haplomitriopsida liverworts) and Mucoromycotina fungi and its response to simulated Palaeozoic changes in atmospheric CO2 (117 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Climate change

His primary areas of investigation include Climate change, Botany, Greenhouse gas, Ecology and Weathering. His research integrates issues of Soil carbon, Climatology, Biogeochemical cycle, Vegetation and Biome in his study of Climate change. His work on Sporophyte, Photosynthesis and Stomatal conductance is typically connected to Glomeromycota as part of general Botany study, connecting several disciplines of science.

His Greenhouse gas research includes themes of Global warming, Greenhouse effect and Soil structure. David J. Beerling merges Ecology with Extinction in his study. His Weathering study combines topics in areas such as Carbon cycle, Paleobotany and Ocean acidification.
