Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Biodiversity

Duccio Rocchini focuses on Ecology, Remote sensing, Biodiversity, Species richness and Vegetation. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Physical geography, Genetic diversity and Geographic information system. His study in Remote sensing is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Land cover and Species distribution.

His research in Biodiversity intersects with topics in Earth observation, Environmental resource management, Ecosystem and Species diversity. The Species richness study combines topics in areas such as Plant community, Animal ecology and Sample. His work deals with themes such as Cartography, Nature reserve, Partial least squares regression and Temporal resolution, which intersect with Vegetation.

His most cited work include:

  • Measuring and modelling biodiversity from space (275 citations)
  • Accounting for uncertainty when mapping species distributions: The need for maps of ignorance (242 citations)
  • Remotely sensed spectral heterogeneity as a proxy of species diversity: Recent advances and open challenges (200 citations)

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

Duccio Rocchini spends much of his time researching Remote sensing, Biodiversity, Ecology, Species richness and Remote sensing. His Remote sensing study incorporates themes from Earth observation and Species distribution. His Biodiversity research incorporates elements of Environmental resource management, Ecosystem, Field and Species diversity.

His study in Habitat, Spatial ecology, Vegetation, Land cover and Land use are all subfields of Ecology. His Species richness research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sampling, Statistics, Spatial analysis and Physical geography. His Remote sensing study combines topics in areas such as Ecology and Invasive species.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Remote sensing (41.88%)
  • Biodiversity (40.07%)
  • Ecology (32.13%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Biodiversity (40.07%)
  • Remote sensing (41.88%)
  • Information theory (9.03%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Biodiversity, Remote sensing, Information theory, Species richness and R package. His work on Global biodiversity as part of his general Biodiversity study is frequently connected to Orographic lift, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His Remote sensing research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ecological systems theory and Earth observation.

His studies deal with areas such as Habitat, Physical geography and Species diversity as well as Species richness. The study incorporates disciplines such as Ecosystem and Tree species in addition to Remote sensing. Spatial heterogeneity is a subfield of Ecology that he investigates.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Monitoring biodiversity in the Anthropocene using remote sensing in species distribution models (30 citations)
  • A grid-based map for the Biogeographical Regions of Europe. (8 citations)
  • A grid-based map for the Biogeographical Regions of Europe. (8 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Biodiversity

Duccio Rocchini mainly focuses on Biodiversity, Species richness, Remote sensing, Physical geography and Habitat. His work on Applied ecology is typically connected to Orographic lift as part of general Biodiversity study, connecting several disciplines of science. The concepts of his Species richness study are interwoven with issues in Canopy, Spatial variability, Temperate forest, Forest ecology and Species diversity.

His Lidar study, which is part of a larger body of work in Remote sensing, is frequently linked to Continuous monitoring, bridging the gap between disciplines. As a member of one scientific family, Duccio Rocchini mostly works in the field of Global biodiversity, focusing on Earth observation and, on occasion, Satellite imagery. His study focuses on the intersection of Satellite imagery and fields such as Algorithm with connections in the field of Pixel and Ecology.
