Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Ecology, Ecosystem, Soil water, Hydrology and Infiltration are his primary areas of study. His work in Species richness, Shrubland, Soil crust, Plant community and Grazing is related to Ecology. His Ecosystem study combines topics in areas such as Range, Abundance, Biodiversity, Climate change and Soil microbiology.

His Soil water research integrates issues from Taxon and Lichen. His research in Lichen focuses on subjects like Arid, which are connected to Nutrient. His Hydrology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Soil science, Trampling and Loam.

His most cited work include:

  • Plant Species Richness and Ecosystem Multifunctionality in Global Drylands (628 citations)
  • Impacts of shrub encroachment on ecosystem structure and functioning: towards a global synthesis (613 citations)
  • A global atlas of the dominant bacteria found in soil (547 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Ecosystem, Arid, Grazing and Soil water. His is doing research in Species richness, Woodland, Vegetation, Plant community and Lichen, both of which are found in Ecology. David J. Eldridge interconnects Soil carbon, Biodiversity and Climate change in the investigation of issues within Ecosystem.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Soil texture, Rangeland and Litter in addition to Arid. His Grazing research incorporates elements of Shrub, Agroforestry and Herbivore. His work in Soil water addresses subjects such as Hydrology, which are connected to disciplines such as Soil science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (58.33%)
  • Ecosystem (27.43%)
  • Arid (22.22%)

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

  • Ecology (58.33%)
  • Ecosystem (27.43%)
  • Arid (22.22%)

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

David J. Eldridge mainly investigates Ecology, Ecosystem, Arid, Grazing and Biodiversity. His work is connected to Species richness, Biome, Soil water, Vegetation and Abundance, as a part of Ecology. He has researched Ecosystem in several fields, including Biomass, Soil carbon and Abiotic component.

His Arid research includes elements of Soil texture, Perennial plant, Climate change and Litter. His studies deal with areas such as Shrub, Agroforestry, Livestock and Herbivore as well as Grazing. He combines subjects such as Soil biodiversity, Plant community, Relative species abundance and Soil microbiology with his study of Biodiversity.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A few Ascomycota taxa dominate soil fungal communities worldwide. (88 citations)
  • Multiple elements of soil biodiversity drive ecosystem functions across biomes. (58 citations)
  • Changes in belowground biodiversity during ecosystem development. (52 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Ecosystem, Arid, Soil water and Biodiversity. His study involves Biome, Taxon, Plant cover, Lichen and Soil carbon, a branch of Ecology. His Ecosystem study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Abiotic component.

David J. Eldridge works mostly in the field of Arid, limiting it down to topics relating to Vegetation and, in certain cases, Disturbance and Environmental protection. His Soil water research incorporates themes from Terrestrial ecosystem and Global change. His work deals with themes such as Nutrient cycle, Species richness, Soil biodiversity and Soil microbiology, which intersect with Biodiversity.
