Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

James B. Heffernan mainly focuses on Ecology, Ecosystem, Ecology, Ecological organization and Scale. Ecology is closely attributed to STREAMS in his study. His Ecosystem research includes elements of Carbon dioxide, Homogenization and Miami.

His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Landscape ecology, Organizing principle and Abiotic component. He performs multidisciplinary study on Ecological organization and Field in his works. His research in Wetland focuses on subjects like Biogeomorphology, which are connected to Hydrology.

His most cited work include:

  • RIPARIAN ZONES INCREASE REGIONAL SPECIES RICHNESS BY HARBORING DIFFERENT, NOT MORE, SPECIES (312 citations)
  • Macrosystems ecology: understanding ecological patterns and processes at continental scales (218 citations)
  • Macrosystems ecology: understanding ecological patterns and processes at continental scales (218 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Ecosystem, Hydrology, Wetland and STREAMS. His work in Aquatic ecosystem, Urban ecology, River ecosystem, Peat and Ecology is related to Ecology. His Ecosystem research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Microcosm, Biomass, Atmospheric sciences, Miami and Nutrient.

His Hydrology research focuses on Nitrate and how it connects with Diel vertical migration. His work carried out in the field of Wetland brings together such families of science as Karst, Alternative stable state, Vegetation and Biogeomorphology. His STREAMS research incorporates themes from Urban planning and Biogeochemistry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (40.21%)
  • Ecosystem (27.84%)
  • Hydrology (23.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Wetland (20.62%)
  • Hydrology (23.71%)
  • Karst (12.37%)

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

His primary areas of study are Wetland, Hydrology, Karst, Ecology and Ecosystem. His Wetland research incorporates elements of Macrophyte and Self-organization. His research in the fields of Watershed and Stage overlaps with other disciplines such as Flow and Frequency data.

The various areas that James B. Heffernan examines in his Karst study include Vegetation and Earth science. Borrowing concepts from Productivity, he weaves in ideas under Ecology. His Ecosystem study which covers Riparian zone that intersects with Terrestrial ecosystem.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Climate and lawn management interact to control C4 plant distribution in residential lawns across seven U.S. cities. (23 citations)
  • Metabolic rhythms in flowing waters: An approach for classifying river productivity regimes (18 citations)
  • Ecohydrologic processes and soil thickness feedbacks control limestone-weathering rates in a karst landscape (15 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

James B. Heffernan mostly deals with Wetland, Ecology, Karst, Productivity and Radiocarbon dating. His Wetland study contributes to a more complete understanding of Hydrology. His Ecology study focuses mostly on Relative species abundance, Weed, Lawn, Dominance and Urban ecology.

His Karst research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Earth science, Vegetation and Groundwater. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Physical geography, Weathering, Bedrock, Hydrology and Drainage. His Productivity research incorporates Natural resource economics, Limnology and Ecosystem metabolism.
