2008 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Ecosystem

Ecology, Climate change, Range, Glacial period and Paleoecology are his primary areas of study. His research on Ecology often connects related areas such as Biological dispersal. His Climate change study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Climatology, Fire regime, Arctic and Ice sheet.

His research on Glacial period often connects related topics like Holocene. His study in Paleoecology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Genetics, Quaternary, Tree species and Nature Conservation. His studies deal with areas such as Pollen, Tundra and Biome as well as Taiga.

His most cited work include:

  • Holocene thermal maximum in the western Arctic (0-180°W) (671 citations)
  • Vegetation mediated the impacts of postglacial climate change on fire regimes in the south-central Brooks Range, Alaska (404 citations)
  • Cyclic variation and solar forcing of Holocene climate in the Alaskan subarctic. (272 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Climate change, Holocene, Tundra and Physical geography. His studies in Vegetation, Taiga, Paleoecology, Range and Pollen are all subfields of Ecology research. His Range study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Genetics and Biological dispersal.

His studies in Climate change integrate themes in fields like Glacial period, Climatology, Quaternary, Ice sheet and Fire regime. His Holocene study incorporates themes from Sediment, Paleoclimatology and Arctic. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Shrub, Permafrost and Global change.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (56.46%)
  • Climate change (36.73%)
  • Holocene (29.93%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Ecology (56.46%)
  • Climate change (36.73%)
  • Tundra (25.17%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Climate change, Tundra, Physical geography and Permafrost. His Ecology study combines topics in areas such as Glacial period and Natural selection. His Climate change research integrates issues from Relative species abundance and Holocene.

His Holocene study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as δ13C and Paleoclimatology. His work carried out in the field of Tundra brings together such families of science as Climatology and Atmospheric sciences. His Physical geography research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Global warming, Disturbance, Fire regime and Taiga.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Biomass offsets little or none of permafrost carbon release from soils, streams, and wildfire: an expert assessment (138 citations)
  • Holocene climate changes in eastern Beringia (NW North America) – A systematic review of multi-proxy evidence (85 citations)
  • Climatic thresholds shape northern high‐latitude fire regimes and imply vulnerability to future climate change (74 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Climate change

Feng Sheng Hu mostly deals with Ecology, Climate change, Tundra, Physical geography and Vegetation. His work on Taiga, Pollen and Colonization as part of general Ecology study is frequently linked to Species distribution and Joint, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Climate change research includes themes of Adaptation, Natural selection, Evolutionary ecology and Holocene.

The various areas that Feng Sheng Hu examines in his Holocene study include Beringia, Arctic and Paleoclimatology. His studies in Tundra integrate themes in fields like Permafrost, Soil water and Fire regime. He has included themes like Macrofossil, Disturbance, Forest dynamics, Paleoecology and Tree line in his Physical geography study.
