Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Ecosystem

His scientific interests lie mostly in Hydrology, Surface runoff, Rangeland, Infiltration and Soil water. His Hydrology research includes elements of Glacial period and Precipitation. His study in Surface runoff is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Soil science, Erosion and Fire regime.

His research integrates issues of Stream power, Sediment, Soil texture, Water content and Soil conservation in his study of Rangeland. His work deals with themes such as Rill, Chaparral and Steppe, which intersect with Infiltration. His Soil water course of study focuses on Coppicing and Watershed, Rainfall simulation, Surface water, Microsite and Drainage basin.

His most cited work include:

  • Spatial and temporal effects of wildfire on the hydrology of a steep rangeland watershed (130 citations)
  • Runoff and Erosion After Cutting Western Juniper (112 citations)
  • Fire effects on rangeland hydrology and erosion in a steep sagebrush-dominated landscape † † (98 citations)

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

His main research concerns Rangeland, Hydrology, Surface runoff, Erosion and Infiltration. His Rangeland research includes themes of Plant community, Hydrology, Environmental resource management and Ecosystem. His Hydrology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Juniper, Soil water, Woodland and Steppe.

His Surface runoff research incorporates themes from Shrub, Soil science, WEPP, Canopy and Fire regime. His research in Erosion intersects with topics in Splash, Sediment and Vegetation. His work carried out in the field of Infiltration brings together such families of science as Rill and Rainfall simulation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Rangeland (60.63%)
  • Hydrology (55.91%)
  • Surface runoff (39.37%)

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

  • Hydrology (55.91%)
  • Erosion (31.50%)
  • Rangeland (60.63%)

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

Frederick B. Pierson mainly investigates Hydrology, Erosion, Rangeland, Surface runoff and Steppe. His Hydrology study incorporates themes from Shrub and Aeolian processes. The various areas that Frederick B. Pierson examines in his Erosion study include Soil science, Sediment and Food security.

His Rangeland research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Woodland, Environmental resource management and Disturbance. Frederick B. Pierson has researched Surface runoff in several fields, including Water use, Soil water, Precipitation, Infiltration and Evapotranspiration. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Agroforestry and Woody plant.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed and Critical Zone Observatory (13 citations)
  • The ecology, history, ecohydrology, and management of pinyon and juniper woodlands in the Great Basin and Northern Colorado Plateau of the western United States (8 citations)
  • Effectiveness of prescribed fire to re-establish sagebrush steppe vegetation and ecohydrologic function on woodland-encroached sagebrush rangelands, Great Basin, USA: Part I: Vegetation, hydrology, and erosion responses (8 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Ecosystem

Frederick B. Pierson mostly deals with Hydrology, Juniper, Woodland, Rangeland and Erosion. His work focuses on many connections between Hydrology and other disciplines, such as Steppe, that overlap with his field of interest in Bromus tectorum. His work on Rangeland is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Environmental resource management.

Frederick B. Pierson combines subjects such as Food security and Disturbance with his study of Erosion. His Surface runoff research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Shrub, Canopy, Vegetation, Understory and Ecosystem. His work in the fields of Ecology, such as Shrubland, Ecohydrology and Ecology, overlaps with other areas such as Structure function.
