Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Biodiversity
  • Deforestation
  • Climate change

His primary areas of investigation include Deforestation, Land cover, Agroforestry, Tropics and Greenhouse gas. His Deforestation research incorporates elements of Tropical climate and Climate change. His work deals with themes such as Agricultural land and Satellite imagery, which intersect with Tropical climate.

His research in Land cover tackles topics such as Remote sensing which are related to areas like Thematic map. He works mostly in the field of Agroforestry, limiting it down to topics relating to Forestry and, in certain cases, Biomass, Forest ecology and Forest transition. The concepts of his Tropics study are interwoven with issues in Logging and Environmental protection.

His most cited work include:

  • Determination of Deforestation Rates of the World's Humid Tropical Forests (1597 citations)
  • Tropical forests were the primary sources of new agricultural land in the 1980s and 1990s (1025 citations)
  • Dynamics of global forest area: Results from the FAO Global Forest Resources Assessment 2015 (617 citations)

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

Remote sensing, Deforestation, Land cover, Forestry and Satellite imagery are his primary areas of study. Frédéric Achard interconnects Agroforestry, Environmental protection, Tropics, Amazon rainforest and Greenhouse gas in the investigation of issues within Deforestation. His Agroforestry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Tropical climate and Agricultural land.

As part of one scientific family, Frédéric Achard deals mainly with the area of Land cover, narrowing it down to issues related to the Thematic map, and often Segmentation. His Logging and Forest inventory study in the realm of Forestry connects with subjects such as Southeast asia. His Satellite imagery study incorporates themes from Agriculture, Sample, Systematic sampling and Physical geography.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Remote sensing (39.47%)
  • Deforestation (35.09%)
  • Land cover (30.70%)

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

  • Remote sensing (39.47%)
  • Deforestation (35.09%)
  • Remote sensing (15.79%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Remote sensing, Deforestation, Remote sensing, Forestry and Amazon rainforest. His studies deal with areas such as Scale and Scale as well as Remote sensing. His research integrates issues of Agroforestry, Environmental protection, Biomass, Land cover and Greenhouse gas in his study of Deforestation.

As a part of the same scientific family, Frédéric Achard mostly works in the field of Remote sensing, focusing on Logging and, on occasion, Spatial distribution and Forest degradation. He has researched Forestry in several fields, including Intact forest landscape and Forest ecology. The various areas that Frédéric Achard examines in his Amazon rainforest study include Hydrology and Biome.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Dynamics of global forest area: Results from the FAO Global Forest Resources Assessment 2015 (617 citations)
  • Land cover changes in the Brazilian Cerrado and Caatinga biomes from 1990 to 2010 based on a systematic remote sensing sampling approach (216 citations)
  • Land use patterns and related carbon losses following deforestation in South America (97 citations)

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

  • Biodiversity
  • Deforestation
  • Climate change

Frédéric Achard mostly deals with Amazon rainforest, Deforestation, Remote sensing, Land cover and Climate change. His research in Deforestation intersects with topics in Remote sensing, Agroforestry and Biomass. Frédéric Achard has included themes like Tropics, Logging and Disturbance in his Remote sensing study.

His Agroforestry study frequently links to other fields, such as Environmental protection. His Biomass study combines topics in areas such as Satellite imagery, Agriculture, Land use, Land use, land-use change and forestry and Global warming. His Land cover research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Physical geography and Biome.
