Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Ecology
Ecosystem
Habitat

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Global warming, Tundra, Climate change and Ecosystem. His research integrates issues of Ochotona collaris and Pika in his study of Ecology. His study in Global warming is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Permafrost and Biome.

His Tundra research incorporates themes from Shrub and Vegetation. The Climate change study which covers Subarctic climate that intersects with Photosynthesis, Growing season and Desiccation. David S. Hik has included themes like Trophic level and Arctic ecology in his Ecosystem study.

His most cited work include:

Ecological Dynamics Across the Arctic Associated with Recent Climate Change (856 citations)
Shrub expansion in tundra ecosystems: dynamics, impacts and research priorities (787 citations)
Global assessment of experimental climate warming on tundra vegetation: heterogeneity over space and time. (598 citations)

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

David S. Hik mostly deals with Ecology, Tundra, Herbivore, Arctic and Climate change. His study ties his expertise on Ochotona collaris together with the subject of Ecology. The Tundra study combines topics in areas such as Shrub, Vegetation and Biome.

His study explores the link between Herbivore and topics such as Grazing that cross with problems in Biomass. His studies in Arctic integrate themes in fields like Albedo, Climatology and Snow. He is interested in Global warming, which is a field of Climate change.

He most often published in these fields:

Ecology (66.43%)
Tundra (26.57%)
Herbivore (23.08%)

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

Ecology (66.43%)
Tundra (26.57%)
Ecosystem (17.48%)

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

Ecology, Tundra, Ecosystem, Climate change and Atmospheric sciences are his primary areas of study. His work on Range is typically connected to Disturbance as part of general Ecology study, connecting several disciplines of science. Arctic covers he research in Tundra.

David S. Hik interconnects Shrub and Willow in the investigation of issues within Arctic. David S. Hik has researched Ecosystem in several fields, including Plant community, Biodiversity and Dryas octopetala. His Climate change research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Limnology and Physical geography.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Plant functional trait change across a warming tundra biome (185 citations)
Climate warming as a driver of tundra shrubline advance (70 citations)
Hiding in the background : community-level patterns in invertebrate herbivory across the tundra biome (7 citations)

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

Ecology
Ecosystem
Habitat

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Climate change, Ecosystem, Biome and Tundra. David S. Hik mostly deals with Biodiversity in his studies of Ecology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Albedo, Invertebrate, Herbivore and Middle latitudes in addition to Climate change.

His Ecosystem research includes themes of DNA barcoding, Species richness and Dryas octopetala. His work carried out in the field of Biome brings together such families of science as Global warming, Plant community, Vegetation and Environmental change. His Global warming study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Willow, Arctic and Shrub.
