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 Remote sensing, Lidar, Canopy, Ecology and Vegetation. His Remote sensing research includes elements of Ecosystem and Tree canopy. His research in Lidar tackles topics such as Deciduous which are related to areas like Old-growth forest, Secondary forest, Microclimate, Biome and Carbon cycle.

Geoffrey G. Parker has researched Canopy in several fields, including Forest floor, Nutrient cycle, Crown and Plant litter. His Ecology study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Agroforestry. His Vegetation study incorporates themes from Remote sensing, Global biodiversity, Habitat and Basal area.

His most cited work include:

  • Lidar Remote Sensing for Ecosystem Studies (1329 citations)
  • Lidar Remote Sensing of the Canopy Structure and Biophysical Properties of Douglas-Fir Western Hemlock Forests (720 citations)
  • Throughfall and Stemflow in the Forest Nutrient Cycle (561 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Canopy, Ecology, Remote sensing, Lidar and Atmospheric sciences. His Canopy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Biomass, Photosynthetically active radiation, Vegetation and Deciduous. His work carried out in the field of Vegetation brings together such families of science as Altimeter and Secondary forest.

His Lidar remote sensing study, which is part of a larger body of work in Remote sensing, is frequently linked to Profiling, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Atmospheric sciences research also works with subjects such as

  • Leaf area index together with Microclimate,
  • Spatial variability and related Old-growth forest. His research investigates the connection between Basal area and topics such as Understory that intersect with issues in Forest floor.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Canopy (44.71%)
  • Ecology (35.29%)
  • Remote sensing (22.35%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Ecology (35.29%)
  • Ecosystem (10.59%)
  • Canopy (44.71%)

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Ecosystem, Canopy, Species richness and Atmospheric sciences. In the subject of general Ecology, his work in Basal area, Biodiversity, Species diversity and Tree species is often linked to Latitude, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His Ecosystem study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Hydrometeorology, Precipitation, Environmental resource management, Hydrology and Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests.

His research investigates the connection with Environmental resource management and areas like Atmosphere which intersect with concerns in Lidar. His study in Canopy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Liriodendron and Leaf area index. His research integrates issues of Biomass, Plant diversity and Disturbance in his study of Atmospheric sciences.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global importance of large‐diameter trees (138 citations)
  • Plant diversity increases with the strength of negative density dependence at the global scale. (126 citations)
  • Long-term (33 years) rainfall and runoff dynamics in a tropical dry forest ecosystem in western Mexico: Management implications under extreme hydrometeorological events (33 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Geoffrey G. Parker mainly investigates Ecology, Biodiversity, Species diversity, Species richness and Basal area. Much of his study explores Ecology relationship to Forestry. The study incorporates disciplines such as Biomass, Spatial heterogeneity and Tropical rainforest in addition to Forestry.

His Biodiversity research incorporates elements of Rare species, Relative species abundance, Temperate climate, Scale and Tropics. His Species richness study combines topics in areas such as Diameter at breast height, Woody plant, Common species and Biome. Geoffrey G. Parker combines subjects such as Canopy, Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project, Understory, Leaf area index and Forest dynamics with his study of Basal area.
