Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Botany

His primary areas of investigation include Vegetation, Ecology, Holocene, Glacial period and Physical geography. His Vegetation study combines topics in areas such as Ice age, Pollen, Climate change, Paleoclimatology and Biome. His Holocene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Araucaria, Radiocarbon dating, Palynology, Sea level and Mangrove.

His Radiocarbon dating research includes themes of Continental shelf and Paleoecology. His study in Glacial period is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Dry season, Tropics and Quaternary. He has included themes like Rainforest and Climatology in his Last Glacial Maximum study.

His most cited work include:

  • Changes in Fire Regimes Since the Last Glacial Maximum: An Assessment Based on a Global Synthesis and Analysis of Charcoal Data (466 citations)
  • South and southeast Brazilian grasslands during Late Quaternary times: a synthesis (429 citations)
  • Predictability of biomass burning in response to climate changes (291 citations)

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

Hermann Behling mostly deals with Holocene, Ecology, Vegetation, Pollen and Physical geography. His Holocene study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Glacial period, Radiocarbon dating, Palynology, Climate change and Quaternary. His Ecology study focuses mostly on Rainforest, Amazon rainforest, Mangrove, Podocarpus and Mauritia.

His work deals with themes such as Araucaria, Biodiversity, Environmental change, Grassland and Paleoecology, which intersect with Vegetation. The various areas that Hermann Behling examines in his Pollen study include Spore, Oceanography, Sediment core and Charcoal. Hermann Behling combines subjects such as National park, Climatology, Period and Paleoclimatology with his study of Physical geography.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Holocene (43.77%)
  • Ecology (36.47%)
  • Vegetation (34.04%)

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

  • Holocene (43.77%)
  • Pollen (27.96%)
  • Oceanography (19.15%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Holocene, Pollen, Oceanography, Sediment core and Physical geography. His Holocene study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Palynology, Fire regime, Amazon rainforest and Charcoal. His study focuses on the intersection of Pollen and fields such as Quaternary with connections in the field of Last Glacial Maximum.

His study explores the link between Oceanography and topics such as Glacial period that cross with problems in Dinocyst. The study incorporates disciplines such as Steppe, Vegetation and Multi proxy in addition to Physical geography. His Vegetation study deals with the bigger picture of Ecology.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Climate variability and human impact in South America during the last 2000 years: synthesis and perspectives from pollen records (61 citations)
  • Terrestrial biosphere changes over the last 120 kyr (29 citations)
  • Bee pollinators of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) differ in their foraging behaviour and pollination efficiency (26 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Botany

Vegetation, Holocene, Ecology, Climate change and Pollen are his primary areas of study. Hermann Behling interconnects Biodiversity, Chronology and Physical geography in the investigation of issues within Vegetation. His study in Holocene is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Agroforestry, Palynology, Marine isotope stage, Amazon rainforest and Tropical vegetation.

In general Ecology study, his work on Podocarpus, Biogeochemical cycle, Global warming and Phyllocladus often relates to the realm of Allophylus, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Araucaria, Climatology, National park, Ecosystem and Grassland. In the field of Glacial period, his study on Last Glacial Maximum overlaps with subjects such as Energy source.
