What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Biodiversity
I-Fang Sun mainly investigates Ecology, Biomass, Species diversity, Species richness and Biodiversity.
Forest ecology, Rare species, Metabolic theory of ecology, Community and Beta diversity are the primary areas of interest in his Ecology study.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Plant ecology and Competition.
As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Beta diversity, focusing on Spatial variability and, on occasion, Gamma diversity and Indicator species.
His Species diversity study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Density dependence, Tropics, Scale and Relative species abundance.
In most of his Biodiversity studies, his work intersects topics such as Climate change.
His most cited work include:
- Rate of tree carbon accumulation increases continuously with tree size. (451 citations)
- Partitioning beta diversity in a subtropical broad-leaved forest of China (428 citations)
- Plant functional traits have globally consistent effects on competition (372 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Species richness, Biodiversity, Species diversity and Abundance.
The concepts of his Ecology study are interwoven with issues in Biological dispersal and Spatial variability.
His work carried out in the field of Species richness brings together such families of science as Null model, Common species and Temperate climate.
His research integrates issues of Niche differentiation, Tropics and Forest ecology in his study of Biodiversity.
I-Fang Sun has included themes like Quadrat, Rare species, Indicator species and Community, Ecosystem in his Species diversity study.
His research in Abundance intersects with topics in Neutral theory of molecular evolution, Basal area, Seed predation, Predation and Seedling.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (80.95%)
- Species richness (26.98%)
- Biodiversity (19.05%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Ecology (80.95%)
- Species richness (26.98%)
- Latitude (9.52%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Ecology, Species richness, Latitude, Beta diversity and Species diversity are his primary areas of study.
His study in Tree species, Abundance, Biodiversity, Life history theory and Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests falls within the category of Ecology.
His research investigates the connection between Abundance and topics such as Basal area that intersect with problems in Tropics and Fixation.
His studies in Biodiversity integrate themes in fields like Niche differentiation and Forest ecology.
His research investigates the connection between Species richness and topics such as Woody plant that intersect with issues in Occupancy, Taxon and Regression.
His studies deal with areas such as Niche, Environmental gradient, Temperate climate and Sampling bias as well as Beta diversity.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Global importance of large‐diameter trees (138 citations)
- Direct and indirect effects of climate on richness drive the latitudinal diversity gradient in forest trees (26 citations)
- An attribute‐diversity approach to functional diversity, functional beta diversity, and related (dis)similarity measures (25 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Biodiversity
I-Fang Sun mainly focuses on Ecology, Species richness, Beta diversity, Species diversity and Latitude.
Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Similarity and Ecology.
His study in Spatial ecology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Null model, Ecology and Tree diversity.
His Niche differentiation research incorporates themes from Global biodiversity, Biodiversity, Basal area and Abundance.
His Interspecific competition research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Shorea, Climate change, Phenology and Reproduction.
His Common species research includes themes of Biomass, Forestry, Woody plant and Biome.
