Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Genus

Henrik Balslev mainly investigates Ecology, Biodiversity, Species richness, Arecaceae and Agroforestry. His research combines Biological dispersal and Ecology. His Biodiversity research incorporates themes from Tropical climate, Plant community, Environmental niche modelling and Geographical distance.

His Species richness study incorporates themes from Range, Epiphyte, Global biodiversity, Tropics and Herbaceous plant. His research integrates issues of Medicinal plants, Botany, Traditional knowledge, Ecosystem and Spatial ecology in his study of Arecaceae. His Agroforestry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Domestication, Sustainability, Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests and Amazon rainforest.

His most cited work include:

  • Hyperdominance in the Amazonian Tree Flora (647 citations)
  • Tree species distributions and local habitat variation in the Amazon: large forest plot in eastern Ecuador (396 citations)
  • High tree alpha-diversity in Amazonian Ecuador (293 citations)

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

Henrik Balslev spends much of his time researching Ecology, Agroforestry, Arecaceae, Botany and Biodiversity. Henrik Balslev regularly ties together related areas like Biological dispersal in his Ecology studies. The Agroforestry study combines topics in areas such as Montane ecology, Forestry, Tropics and Indigenous.

Henrik Balslev focuses mostly in the field of Arecaceae, narrowing it down to topics relating to Ethnobotany and, in certain cases, Ethnomedicine. His Biodiversity study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Plant community, Vegetation, Traditional knowledge and Ecosystem services. His research in Species richness intersects with topics in Spatial ecology, Range, Transect and Abundance.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (50.49%)
  • Agroforestry (22.98%)
  • Arecaceae (21.68%)

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

  • Ecology (50.49%)
  • Botany (20.06%)
  • Species richness (17.15%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Botany, Species richness, Ethnobotany and Arecaceae. His work on Ecology deals in particular with Amazon rainforest, Biodiversity, Edaphic, Rainforest and Ecosystem. His work investigates the relationship between Botany and topics such as Key that intersect with problems in Plant morphology.

His Species richness research incorporates elements of Biodiversity hotspot, Range, Global biodiversity, Forestry and Species diversity. His research investigates the connection between Ethnobotany and topics such as Traditional knowledge that intersect with problems in Agroforestry and Introduced species. His Arecaceae research includes themes of Abundance, Transect and Herbarium.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Persistent effects of pre-Columbian plant domestication on Amazonian forest composition (221 citations)
  • Seasonal drought limits tree species across the Neotropics (80 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
  • Botany
  • Genus

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Biodiversity, Species richness, Arecaceae and Agroforestry. His study in Ecology focuses on Edaphic, Ecosystem, Herbarium, Canopy and Relative species abundance. The various areas that he examines in his Biodiversity study include Checklist, Tropics and Invasive species.

His work carried out in the field of Species richness brings together such families of science as Range, Mangifera, Ornamental plant, Amazon rainforest and Physical geography. Henrik Balslev has included themes like Plant ecology, Abundance and Ecosystem services in his Arecaceae study. His Agroforestry study which covers Traditional knowledge that intersects with Habitat and Introduced species.
