2020 - William S. Cooper Award, The Ecological Society of America Persistent effects of pre-Columbian plant domestication on Amazonian forest composition. Science 355(6328): 925-931. DOI: 10.1126/science.aal0157

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Hans ter Steege spends much of his time researching Ecology, Amazon rainforest, Amazonian, Biodiversity and Rainforest. He focuses mostly in the field of Amazon rainforest, narrowing it down to matters related to Climate change and, in some cases, Agronomy and Biomass. His Amazonian research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Taxon, Species richness and Ecosystem.

His studies deal with areas such as Species diversity and Habitat as well as Species richness. He interconnects Tropical climate and Agroforestry in the investigation of issues within Biodiversity. His work carried out in the field of Rainforest brings together such families of science as Seasonality, Shade tolerance, Physical geography and Site tree.

His most cited work include:

  • Drought sensitivity of the Amazon rainforest. (1175 citations)
  • Hyperdominance in the Amazonian Tree Flora (647 citations)
  • Regional and phylogenetic variation of wood density across 2456 Neotropical tree species. (568 citations)

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

Ecology, Amazon rainforest, Biodiversity, Species richness and Amazonian are his primary areas of study. His study involves Rainforest, Taxon, Species diversity, Ecosystem and Tropics, a branch of Ecology. His Amazon rainforest research integrates issues from Habitat, Alpha diversity, Phylogenetic diversity, Phylogenetic tree and Vegetation.

His research on Biodiversity also deals with topics like

  • Agroforestry that intertwine with fields like Threatened species,
  • Range and related Canopy. Hans ter Steege combines subjects such as Relative species abundance, IUCN Red List, Estimator, Endemism and Taxonomy with his study of Species richness. His studies in Amazonian integrate themes in fields like Floristics and Epiphyte.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (120.51%)
  • Amazon rainforest (67.31%)
  • Biodiversity (50.64%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Ecology (120.51%)
  • Amazon rainforest (67.31%)
  • Biodiversity (50.64%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Amazon rainforest, Biodiversity, Amazonian and Species richness. His Amazon rainforest research incorporates elements of Floodplain, Global biodiversity, Forest ecology and Vegetation, Understory. His Biodiversity research includes elements of Biogeography and Occupancy.

The concepts of his Amazonian study are interwoven with issues in Epiphyte, Intertidal ecology, Habitat, Plant community and Spatial distribution. Hans ter Steege interconnects Agroforestry, IUCN Red List and Taxonomy in the investigation of issues within Species richness. His work focuses on many connections between Agroforestry and other disciplines, such as Climate change, that overlap with his field of interest in Tropics.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Compositional response of Amazon forests to climate change (111 citations)
  • Compositional response of Amazon forests to climate change (111 citations)
  • Species Distribution Modelling: Contrasting presence-only models with plot abundance data. (65 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Hans ter Steege mainly investigates Ecology, Amazon rainforest, Amazonian, Climate change and Taxon. His study on Ecology is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Physical geography. His studies deal with areas such as Dry season, IUCN Red List and Ecosystem as well as Amazonian.

Hans ter Steege combines subjects such as Species richness, Agroforestry, Tropics and Threatened species with his study of Climate change. Hans ter Steege has researched Taxon in several fields, including Global biodiversity, Biodiversity, Flora and Identification. His research integrates issues of Systematics, Community, Biogeography and Phylogeography in his study of Biodiversity.
