Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • Statistics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Biodiversity, Agroforestry, Rainforest and Species richness. His research integrates issues of Wildlife, Biome and Ecosystem services in his study of Biodiversity. The study incorporates disciplines such as Deforestation, Canopy, Logging and Tropics in addition to Agroforestry.

Douglas Sheil combines subjects such as Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, Old-growth forest and Vegetation with his study of Rainforest. Douglas Sheil works mostly in the field of Species richness, limiting it down to topics relating to Species diversity and, in certain cases, Tree inventory, Pantropical, Ecological succession and High forest. His studies examine the connections between Environmental planning and genetics, as well as such issues in Natural resource management, with regards to Environmental resource management.

His most cited work include:

  • Increasing carbon storage in intact African tropical forests (746 citations)
  • Averting biodiversity collapse in tropical forest protected areas (662 citations)
  • Ten principles for a landscape approach to reconciling agriculture, conservation, and other competing land uses (628 citations)

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

Douglas Sheil mainly focuses on Ecology, Biodiversity, Agroforestry, Environmental resource management and Forest management. As a part of the same scientific study, Douglas Sheil usually deals with the Biodiversity, concentrating on Environmental planning and frequently concerns with Natural resource. His Agroforestry research includes elements of Livelihood, Deforestation, Protected area, Logging and Ecosystem.

His work on Adaptive management as part of general Environmental resource management study is frequently linked to Corporate governance, bridging the gap between disciplines. His study in Forest management is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Wildlife conservation, Forest ecology and Environmental protection. His Rainforest study combines topics in areas such as Biomass and Tropical climate.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (55.17%)
  • Biodiversity (38.18%)
  • Agroforestry (36.21%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Ecology (55.17%)
  • Agroforestry (36.21%)
  • Biodiversity (38.18%)

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Agroforestry, Biodiversity, Deforestation and Biomass. His Agroforestry research integrates issues from Agriculture, Forest restoration, Tropics and Sustainability. The Biodiversity study combines topics in areas such as Ecology, Ecosystem, Land use and Environmental planning.

Douglas Sheil has researched Ecosystem in several fields, including Soil carbon, Environmental resource management and Temperate climate. His Deforestation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Pulpwood and Threatened species. His Biomass study incorporates themes from Tropical forest and Woodland.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Trees, forests and water : Cool insights for a hot world (311 citations)
  • Diversity and carbon storage across the tropical forest biome (142 citations)
  • Phylogenetic classification of the world's tropical forests (86 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • Statistics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Rainforest, Atmospheric sciences, Ecosystem and Biome. His Ecology study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Agroforestry. His Rainforest research incorporates themes from Amazon rainforest and Biogeography.

His research in Ecosystem intersects with topics in Temperate climate, Environmental resource management, Vegetation, Water cycle and Monsoon. As part of one scientific family, Douglas Sheil deals mainly with the area of Environmental resource management, narrowing it down to issues related to the Proxy, and often Biodiversity. His Biome research incorporates elements of Forest ecology, Tropical ecology and Alpha diversity.
