Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

His scientific interests lie mostly in Fire regime, Ecology, Tropical savanna climate, Biodiversity and Vegetation. His Fire regime research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Physical geography and Greenhouse gas. In his research on the topic of Ecology, Nitrogen cycle and Nitrification is strongly related with Agronomy.

Within one scientific family, Garry D. Cook focuses on topics pertaining to Woodland under Tropical savanna climate, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Perennial plant, Vegetation type, Eucalyptus, Rainforest and Shrub. His Biodiversity study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Agroforestry, Boreal, Climatology and Fire ecology. The Vegetation study combines topics in areas such as Greenhouse, Environmental protection, Land use and Occupancy.

His most cited work include:

  • Fire regime, fire intensity and tree survival in a tropical savanna in northern Australia (299 citations)
  • Fire frequency and biodiversity conservation in Australian tropical savannas: implications from the Kapalga fire experiment (295 citations)
  • Contemporary fire regimes of northern Australia, 1997–2001: change since Aboriginal occupancy, challenges for sustainable management (220 citations)

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

Garry D. Cook mainly investigates Ecology, Fire regime, Tropical savanna climate, Vegetation and Agronomy. He interconnects Biodiversity, Biomass, Carbon sequestration, Greenhouse gas and Dry season in the investigation of issues within Fire regime. His Biodiversity research incorporates elements of Climatology, Temperate rainforest and Physical geography.

His study on Tropical savanna climate also encompasses disciplines like

  • Biome, which have a strong connection to Carbon sink and Primary production,

  • Tropics and related Wet season. His Vegetation study also includes fields such as

  • Boreal which intersects with area such as Occupancy and Land use,

  • Soil organic matter which connect with δ13C and Soil carbon. His research in the fields of Andropogon and Poaceae overlaps with other disciplines such as Andropogon gayanus.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (49.06%)
  • Fire regime (36.79%)
  • Tropical savanna climate (23.58%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Ecology (49.06%)
  • Fire regime (36.79%)
  • Vegetation (22.64%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Fire regime, Vegetation, Atmospheric sciences and Ecosystem. His Ecology study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Agroforestry. His work carried out in the field of Fire regime brings together such families of science as Biodiversity, Biomass, Carbon sequestration, Tropical savanna climate and Dry season.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Abundance and Boreal in addition to Tropical savanna climate. His Vegetation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Eucalyptus, Nutrient, Soil fertility and Earth system science. His Atmospheric sciences research includes elements of Atmosphere, Methane and Greenhouse gas.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Managing fire regimes in north Australian savannas: applying Aboriginal approaches to contemporary global problems (124 citations)
  • Biomass burning fuel consumption rates: a field measurement database (86 citations)
  • Does fire limit tree biomass in Australian savannas (33 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Garry D. Cook spends much of his time researching Fire regime, Tropical savanna climate, Ecology, Greenhouse gas and Biomass. His studies deal with areas such as Carbon sequestration, Mediterranean climate, Eucalyptus and Basal area as well as Fire regime. Tropical savanna climate is a primary field of his research addressed under Vegetation.

His research in Vegetation intersects with topics in Transect, Terrestrial ecosystem, Earth system science and Biosphere. The concepts of his Greenhouse gas study are interwoven with issues in Atmospheric sciences and Biome. His research investigates the connection with Biomass and areas like Agroforestry which intersect with concerns in Biodiversity, Northern australia, Abundance and Boreal.
