Overview

Jacob Heilmann-Clausen is affiliated with the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. Their research primarily focuses on agricultural and biological sciences, with substantial contributions to environmental science. Within these fields, they have explored subfields such as plant science, ecology, evolution, behavior and systematics, insect science, cell biology, and global and planetary change.

The scientist's work covers several main topics, including mycorrhizal fungi and plant interactions, forest ecology and biodiversity studies, lichen and fungal ecology, plant pathogens and fungal diseases, plant and animal studies, ecology and vegetation dynamics studies, and forest management and policy.

Their publication record includes recent papers with notable titles and venues:

  • The Global Soil Mycobiome consortium dataset for boosting fungal diversity research, 2021, Fungal Diversity
  • Global patterns in endemicity and vulnerability of soil fungi, 2022, Global Change Biology
  • Distance decay 2.0 - A global synthesis of taxonomic and functional turnover in ecological communities, 2022, Global Ecology and Biogeography
  • Connecting the multiple dimensions of global soil fungal diversity, 2023, Science Advances
  • Automatic Fungi Recognition: Deep Learning Meets Mycology, 2022, Sensors

Collaborations form a significant part of their research endeavors, working frequently with Sabina Burrascano, Martin M. Goßner, Yoan Paillet, Inken Doerfler, and Jeňýk Hofmeister.

Their works have appeared repeatedly in key academic outlets such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Journal of Applied Ecology, Biological Conservation, and Forest Ecology and Management.

Additionally, Jacob Heilmann-Clausen has contributed to book publications with the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, including the "Handbook of sampling for multi-taxon biodiversity studies in European forests" published in 2022.
