  • Agroforestry (26.80%)
  • Ecosystem services (22.80%)

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

Geoff M. Gurr mostly deals with Biological pest control, Agroforestry, Ecosystem services, Herbivore and PEST analysis. His Biological pest control research includes themes of Zoology, Bark beetle, Predation and Ophiostomatales. His work carried out in the field of Ecosystem services brings together such families of science as Biodiversity, Integrated pest management, Habitat, Agriculture and Environmental resource management.

His Herbivore study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Ecology. His studies deal with areas such as Brassica and Genetic diversity as well as Ecology. His PEST analysis study incorporates themes from Braconidae, Plutella and Agronomy, Crop.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Crop pests and predators exhibit inconsistent responses to surrounding landscape composition. (187 citations)
  • The role of silicon in plant biology: a paradigm shift in research approach (62 citations)
  • The role of silicon in plant biology: a paradigm shift in research approach (62 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Genus

His primary scientific interests are in Ecosystem services, Agroforestry, Agriculture, Diamondback moth and Biodiversity. The various areas that he examines in his Ecosystem services study include Environmental resource management, Biological pest control and Habitat. His Habitat study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Woodland and Integrated pest management.

His Integrated pest management study is concerned with the larger field of Ecology. His Agroforestry research focuses on Landscape ecology and how it relates to Species richness and Pest control. His Agriculture research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ecotoxicology and Environmental planning.
