Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

Ecology, Dendrochronology, Botany, Rhizophora mucronata and Mangrove are his primary areas of study. His study in Tropics, Wet season, Vegetation, Avicennia and Vegetation type falls under the purview of Ecology. His Dendrochronology research incorporates themes from Biomass, Ecology, Atmospheric sciences and Sculpture.

His is involved in several facets of Botany study, as is seen by his studies on Xylem and Lignin. His Xylem study combines topics in areas such as Mediterranean climate and Phloem. Hans Beeckman combines subjects such as Dry season, Rhizophoraceae and δ13C with his study of Rhizophora mucronata.

His most cited work include:

  • Above-ground biomass and structure of 260 African tropical forests. (191 citations)
  • TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (179 citations)
  • Oaks, tree-rings and wooden cultural heritage: a review of the main characteristics and applications of oak dendrochronology in Europe (134 citations)

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

Hans Beeckman focuses on Ecology, Forestry, Botany, Mangrove and Dendrochronology. His Ecology and Rainforest, Tropics, Climate change, Wet season and Biomass investigations all form part of his Ecology research activities. His research integrates issues of Agroforestry and Woodland in his study of Forestry.

Xylem and Phloem are among the areas of Botany where he concentrates his study. Hans Beeckman studies Xylem, focusing on Cambium in particular. His study in Rhizophora mucronata, Avicennia marina and Avicennia are all subfields of Mangrove.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (24.15%)
  • Forestry (17.32%)
  • Botany (17.06%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Ecology (24.15%)
  • Forestry (17.32%)
  • Rainforest (7.35%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Forestry, Rainforest, Entandrophragma and Xylem. His research related to Mangrove and Species level might be considered part of Ecology. His Forestry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Canopy, Climate change, Land cover, Vegetation and Woodland.

His research on Rainforest also deals with topics like

  • Seasonality together with Dry season,
  • Tropics that connect with fields like Hectare, Productivity, Woody plant and Atmospheric sciences. His study looks at the relationship between Entandrophragma and topics such as Biomass, which overlap with Allometry, Tree and Agroforestry. His Xylem study is associated with Botany.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (179 citations)
  • Asynchronous carbon sink saturation in African and Amazonian tropical forests (84 citations)
  • Pan-tropical prediction of forest structure from the largest trees (47 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Rainforest, Forestry, Tropical climate and Xylem. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Phylogenetic tree and Ecology. His Rainforest research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Seasonality, Deciduous, Anatomy, Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests and Evergreen.

In the subject of general Forestry, his work in Baillonella is often linked to Annual growth %, Erythrophleum suaveolens and Growth data, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His Xylem research includes themes of Hydraulic conductivity and Agronomy. His work in Hydraulic conductivity addresses issues such as Botany, which are connected to fields such as Biological dispersal, Mangrove, Bruguiera, Rhizophoraceae and Rhizophora mucronata.
