Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Competition, Biomass, Foraging and Interspecific competition. His research in Community structure, Plant ecology, Ecology, Phenotypic plasticity and Functional ecology are components of Ecology. His work carried out in the field of Competition brings together such families of science as Plant community, Old field, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and Soil fertility.

His Plant community study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Species evenness and Shoot. His Biomass research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biodiversity, Weed, Productivity, Ecotype and Annual plant. Behavioral ecology is closely connected to Nutrient in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Foraging.

His most cited work include:

  • Phylogenetic patterns are not proxies of community assembly mechanisms (they are far better) (277 citations)
  • Does phylogenetic relatedness influence the strength of competition among vascular plants (252 citations)
  • Worldwide evidence of a unimodal relationship between productivity and plant species richness (199 citations)

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

James F. Cahill mainly focuses on Ecology, Competition, Biomass, Plant community and Plant ecology. His Ecology study focuses mostly on Species richness, Grassland, Herbivore, Community structure and Foraging. The study incorporates disciplines such as Soil fertility, Shoot, Root system and Interspecific competition in addition to Competition.

James F. Cahill has included themes like Productivity, Vegetation, Weed and Annual plant in his Biomass study. His Plant community research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Species evenness and Abiotic component. His Plant ecology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Poa pratensis and Ecology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (68.35%)
  • Competition (28.78%)
  • Biomass (23.74%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Ecology (68.35%)
  • Agronomy (17.27%)
  • Nutrient (13.67%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Agronomy, Nutrient, Biomass and Plant community. His work is connected to Species richness, Community structure, Abiotic component, Range and Competition, as a part of Ecology. His studies deal with areas such as Productivity and Species diversity as well as Competition.

His Agronomy research incorporates elements of Climate change, Carbon sink and Pinus contorta. His work deals with themes such as Soil fertility, Root foraging, Herbivore, Foraging and Spatial heterogeneity, which intersect with Nutrient. His Plant community research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Bromus and Ecosystem.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global change effects on plant communities are magnified by time and the number of global change factors imposed (42 citations)
  • Neighbouring plants modify maize root foraging for phosphorus: coupling nutrients and neighbours for improved nutrient-use efficiency. (16 citations)
  • Checkerboard score–area relationships reveal spatial scales of plant community structure (16 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

James F. Cahill mainly investigates Ecology, Plant community, Nutrient, Species richness and Root foraging. His Ecology study frequently links to related topics such as Biological dispersal. The concepts of his Plant community study are interwoven with issues in Global change, Ecosystem and Community composition.

His study looks at the relationship between Nutrient and fields such as Agronomy, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. James F. Cahill usually deals with Species richness and limits it to topics linked to Range and Habitat, Novel ecosystem, Biomass, Temperate climate and Taxon. In his work, Nutrient management is strongly intertwined with Foraging, which is a subfield of Root foraging.
