Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Climate change

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Climate change, Climatology, Ecosystem and Vegetation. His work in Ecology covers topics such as Precipitation which are related to areas like Growing season. His Climate change study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Snowmelt, Physical geography and Environmental resource management.

David L. Peterson has researched Physical geography in several fields, including Range and Pacific decadal oscillation. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Panopea abrupta, Pacific ocean, Oceanography, Geoduck and Dendrochronology. His work on Fire regime as part of his general Vegetation study is frequently connected to National Environmental Policy Act, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

His most cited work include:

  • Climate and wildfire area burned in western U.S. ecoprovinces, 1916–2003 (695 citations)
  • Climatic Change, Wildfire, and Conservation (517 citations)
  • Mapping regional forest evapotranspiration and photosynthesis by coupling satellite data with ecosystem simulation (376 citations)

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

Climate change, Ecology, Environmental resource management, Ecosystem and Forestry are his primary areas of study. His research investigates the connection between Climate change and topics such as Natural resource that intersect with problems in Environmental planning. His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Physical geography and Precipitation.

He focuses mostly in the field of Environmental resource management, narrowing it down to topics relating to Ecosystem services and, in certain cases, Recreation. His Ecosystem study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Climatology and Remote sensing. His Forestry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Fuel treatment and Ozone.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climate change (34.14%)
  • Ecology (27.71%)
  • Environmental resource management (23.29%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Climate change (34.14%)
  • Environmental resource management (23.29%)
  • Vulnerability assessment (7.23%)

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

David L. Peterson mostly deals with Climate change, Environmental resource management, Vulnerability assessment, Resource and Ecosystem services. His Climate change research includes themes of Natural resource and Forest ecology, Ecosystem, Disturbance. His Disturbance study is concerned with the larger field of Ecology.

His Ecology research incorporates themes from Kingdom and Environmental protection. His work carried out in the field of Environmental resource management brings together such families of science as Adaptation, Recreation, Psychological resilience and Vulnerability. He combines subjects such as Vegetation and Resource management with his study of Resource.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Searching for resilience: addressing the impacts of changing disturbance regimes on forest ecosystem services. (199 citations)
  • A review of the relationships between drought and forest fire in the United States (135 citations)
  • Increased water deficit decreases Douglas fir growth throughout western US forests (88 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Climate change

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Climate change, Environmental resource management, Fire regime, Ecosystem and Ecology. The various areas that David L. Peterson examines in his Climate change study include Range, Forest ecology, Vegetation and Vulnerability. His Environmental resource management study combines topics in areas such as Natural resource, Resource, Psychological resilience and Ecosystem services.

In Fire regime, David L. Peterson works on issues like Regeneration, which are connected to Agroforestry. His study in Ecosystem is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Atmospheric circulation and Transpiration. Much of his study explores Ecology relationship to Environmental protection.
