Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Biodiversity

Felix Kienast mainly focuses on Ecology, Environmental resource management, Land use, Ecosystem services and Sustainable development. The Landscape design research Felix Kienast does as part of his general Environmental resource management study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Public participation, Incentive and Multitude, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His research in Land use intersects with topics in Cartography and Digital mapping.

His research integrates issues of Primary production and Land use, land-use change and forestry in his study of Ecosystem services. The various areas that he examines in his Land use, land-use change and forestry study include Scenario analysis, Environmental data, Environmental impact assessment, Sustainability and Wetland. His Sustainable development research incorporates themes from Action research, Place identity and Land-use planning.

His most cited work include:

  • Predictive mapping of alpine grasslands in Switzerland: Species versus community approach (346 citations)
  • Predicting the potential distribution of plant species in an alpine environment (257 citations)
  • A chironomid-based Holocene summer air temperature reconstruction from the Swiss Alps (244 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Environmental resource management, Land use, Land use, land-use change and forestry and Forestry. His study in Environmental resource management is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sustainable development, Recreation, Nature Conservation and Ecosystem services. His study explores the link between Ecosystem services and topics such as Landscape ecology that cross with problems in Ecology.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Urbanization and Reforestation in addition to Land use. His work in Land use, land-use change and forestry addresses issues such as Environmental planning, which are connected to fields such as Land development, Agriculture and Urban sprawl. His Climate change study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Potential natural vegetation, Vegetation and Physical geography.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (27.61%)
  • Environmental resource management (20.90%)
  • Land use (15.67%)

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

  • Environmental resource management (20.90%)
  • Environmental planning (10.45%)
  • Land use (15.67%)

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

Felix Kienast focuses on Environmental resource management, Environmental planning, Land use, Ecosystem services and Urbanization. His work on Green infrastructure as part of general Environmental resource management study is frequently linked to Visual perception, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. In the field of Land use, his study on Land use, land-use change and forestry overlaps with subjects such as Natural.

His Land use, land-use change and forestry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Agricultural productivity and Urban sprawl. His research investigates the connection with Ecosystem services and areas like Natural resource economics which intersect with concerns in Agricultural land. His studies deal with areas such as Population level and Recreation as well as Urbanization.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Planning for compact urban forms: local growth-management approaches and their evolution over time (19 citations)
  • Changes in demand and supply of ecosystem services under scenarios of future land use in Vorarlberg, Austria (8 citations)
  • Comparing outdoor recreation preferences in peri-urban landscapes using different data gathering methods (7 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Biodiversity

Felix Kienast mostly deals with Environmental planning, Environmental resource management, Recreation, Urban planning and Urbanization. His research in Environmental planning intersects with topics in Wilderness area and Wilderness. He interconnects Preference and Urban area in the investigation of issues within Environmental resource management.

His Recreation research includes elements of Sense of place and Data collection. Felix Kienast has researched Urban planning in several fields, including Distance decay, Participatory mapping, Spatial planning and Growth management. His research ties Population level and Urbanization together.
