What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Biodiversity
- Ecosystem
Jess K. Zimmerman mainly investigates Ecology, Biodiversity, Community, Biomass and Species diversity.
All of his Ecology and Forest ecology, Secondary forest, Species richness, Ecology and Forest dynamics investigations are sub-components of the entire Ecology study.
His studies in Secondary forest integrate themes in fields like Pioneer species and Woody plant.
His Biodiversity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Land use and Global change.
His Community research incorporates elements of Taxonomy, Community structure and Biogeography.
Introduced species, Human migration, Seedling and Tropics is closely connected to Secondary succession in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Biomass.
His most cited work include:
- Variation in sexual reproduction in orchids and its evolutionary consequences: a spasmodic journey to diversification (515 citations)
- Forest Regeneration in a Chronosequence of Tropical Abandoned Pastures: Implications for Restoration Ecology (432 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 primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Biodiversity, Ecosystem, Species richness and Disturbance.
Forest dynamics, Secondary forest, Ecological succession, Tropics and Basal area are the primary areas of interest in his Ecology study.
His Secondary forest study combines topics in areas such as Forest ecology and Plant litter.
Jess K. Zimmerman combines subjects such as Biomass and Niche differentiation with his study of Biodiversity.
His Ecosystem study combines topics in areas such as Tropical climate and Agronomy.
His study on Disturbance also encompasses disciplines like
- Experimental forest which connect with Understory,
- Abundance that intertwine with fields like Seedling.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (65.24%)
- Biodiversity (13.41%)
- Ecosystem (12.20%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Ecology (65.24%)
- Ecosystem (12.20%)
- Tropics (11.59%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of study are Ecology, Ecosystem, Tropics, Climate change and Disturbance.
Biodiversity, Abundance, Species richness, Tropical forest and Ecological succession are among the areas of Ecology where the researcher is concentrating his efforts.
His Biodiversity study incorporates themes from Ecology and Biogeography.
Jess K. Zimmerman focuses mostly in the field of Species richness, narrowing it down to matters related to Species diversity and, in some cases, Niche differentiation, Forest dynamics and Beta diversity.
As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Tropics, focusing on Tropical climate and, on occasion, Trade-off.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Subtropics, Liana, Taxon, Community structure and Seedling.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Global importance of large‐diameter trees (138 citations)
- Biodiversity recovery of Neotropical secondary forests (100 citations)
- Early stage litter decomposition across biomes (83 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Biodiversity
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Climate change, Ecosystem, Tropical climate and Biodiversity.
Ecology is a component of his Abundance, Secondary succession, Species richness, Tropics and Niche differentiation studies.
His work deals with themes such as Common species and Biome, which intersect with Species richness.
His study explores the link between Niche differentiation and topics such as Species diversity that cross with problems in Basal area.
The Climate change study combines topics in areas such as Terrestrial ecosystem and Resistance.
In the field of Ecosystem, his study on Carbon cycle overlaps with subjects such as Severe weather, Tropical cyclone and Tree.
