Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

G. Arturo Sanchez-Azofeifa mainly focuses on Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, Ecology, Agroforestry, Deforestation and Forest structure. His Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests research integrates issues from Rainforest, Tropics, Woody plant and Remote sensing. His Ecology study frequently links to related topics such as Specific leaf area.

In the field of Agroforestry, his study on Forest protection overlaps with subjects such as State. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Land cover and Land use. His Forest structure research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Forestry, Secondary forest, Vegetation, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and Dry forest.

His most cited work include:

  • Variability in leaf optical properties of Mesoamerican trees and the potential for species classification (129 citations)
  • Park Location Affects Forest Protection: Land Characteristics Cause Differences in Park Impacts across Costa Rica (111 citations)
  • Need for Integrated Research for a Sustainable Future in Tropical Dry Forests (110 citations)

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

His main research concerns Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, Remote sensing, Ecology, Liana and Ecosystem. His Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests research incorporates elements of Tropics, Vegetation and Seasonality. His studies deal with areas such as Rainforest, Photosynthetically active radiation, Principal component analysis and Phenology as well as Remote sensing.

His Liana study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Canopy and Wavelet. His work in the fields of Ecosystem, such as Disturbance, overlaps with other areas such as Context. His Plant community research focuses on subjects like Specific leaf area, which are linked to Woody plant.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests (47.46%)
  • Remote sensing (37.29%)
  • Ecology (38.98%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests (47.46%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (8.47%)
  • Remote sensing (37.29%)

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

G. Arturo Sanchez-Azofeifa mostly deals with Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, Atmospheric sciences, Remote sensing, Ecosystem and Context. G. Arturo Sanchez-Azofeifa performs integrative study on Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests and Precipitation in his works. His work carried out in the field of Remote sensing brings together such families of science as Plant canopy, Precision agriculture, Terrain, Filter and Crop.

His Ecosystem study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Lichen, Forestry, Canopy and Infestation. Forestry is closely attributed to Liana in his study. His research combines Biological system and Liana.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Mapping tropical dry forest age using airborne waveform LiDAR and hyperspectral metrics (5 citations)
  • Canopy Temperature Differences between Liana-Infested and Non-Liana Infested Areas in a Neotropical Dry Forest (4 citations)
  • Seasonality and Budgets of Soil Greenhouse Gas Emissions From a Tropical Dry Forest Successional Gradient in Costa Rica (3 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

His scientific interests lie mostly in Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, Carbon dioxide, Greenhouse gas, Methane and Seasonality. G. Arturo Sanchez-Azofeifa combines subjects such as Random forest and Liana with his study of Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests. The concepts of his Random forest study are interwoven with issues in Hyperspectral imaging, Support vector machine, Vegetation, Forest cover and Lidar.

G. Arturo Sanchez-Azofeifa has included themes like Cartography and HyMap in his Lidar study. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Liana, Abundance is strongly linked to Ecosystem. He applies his multidisciplinary studies on Carbon dioxide and Atmospheric sciences in his research.
