What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Biodiversity
Ji Shen mainly investigates Holocene, Ecology, Monsoon, Physical geography and Climatology.
His Holocene study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as East Asian Monsoon, Climate change and Radiocarbon dating.
The concepts of his Monsoon study are interwoven with issues in Glacial period, Flood myth and Pleistocene.
As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Physical geography, narrowing it down to issues related to the Sediment, and often Diatom, Total organic carbon and Organic matter.
Ji Shen works on Climatology which deals in particular with Westerlies.
Ji Shen has researched Oceanography in several fields, including Geochemistry, Weathering and δ18O.
His most cited work include:
- Phylogenetic beta diversity in bacterial assemblages across ecosystems: deterministic versus stochastic processes. (301 citations)
- Glacial-Interglacial Indian Summer Monsoon Dynamics (264 citations)
- Asian monsoon oscillations in the northeastern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau since the late glacial as interpreted from visible reflectance of Qinghai Lake sediments (248 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Sediment, Physical geography, Holocene, Ecology and Climate change.
His Sediment study combines topics in areas such as Drainage basin, Hydrology, Pollution, Environmental chemistry and Chronology.
Ji Shen focuses mostly in the field of Physical geography, narrowing it down to matters related to Sedimentary rock and, in some cases, Sedimentary depositional environment.
His studies deal with areas such as East Asian Monsoon and Climatology as well as Holocene.
He interconnects Deglaciation, Paleoclimatology and Holocene climatic optimum in the investigation of issues within Climatology.
His Monsoon research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Glacial period and Period.
He most often published in these fields:
- Sediment (30.53%)
- Physical geography (27.37%)
- Holocene (26.32%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?
- Physical geography (27.37%)
- Ecology (25.26%)
- Holocene (26.32%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His scientific interests lie mostly in Physical geography, Ecology, Holocene, Climate change and Paleolimnology.
His work carried out in the field of Physical geography brings together such families of science as Pollen, Land use, δ18O, Magnetostratigraphy and Northern Hemisphere.
His Holocene study results in a more complete grasp of Oceanography.
While the research belongs to areas of Climate change, Ji Shen spends his time largely on the problem of Ecosystem, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Macroecology and Biodiversity.
His study looks at the relationship between Paleolimnology and topics such as Environmental change, which overlap with Palynology, Ecosystem services and Regime shift.
His Paleoclimatology study incorporates themes from East Asian Monsoon, Atmosphere, Climatology, Climate model and Intertropical Convergence Zone.
Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Source apportionment of priority PAHs in 11 lake sediment cores from Songnen Plain, Northeast China. (9 citations)
- Vegetation, climate and human impact since 20 ka in central Yunnan Province based on high-resolution pollen and charcoal records from Dianchi, southwestern China (8 citations)
- Temperature drives local contributions to beta diversity in mountain streams: Stochastic and deterministic processes (8 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Biodiversity
Ji Shen focuses on Ecology, Beta diversity, Climate change, Hydrology and Sediment.
His Ecology study often links to related topics such as STREAMS.
The various areas that Ji Shen examines in his Beta diversity study include Ecosystem, Freshwater ecosystem and Macroecology.
His Climate change research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Vegetation, Physical geography and Last Glacial Maximum, Holocene.
You can notice a mix of various disciplines of study, such as Apportionment and Flux, in his Hydrology studies.
