Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Jill Thompson focuses on Ecology, Biodiversity, Biomass, Community and Ecology. Her Ecology study is mostly concerned with Species diversity, Forest dynamics, Forest ecology, Species richness and Ecosystem. The various areas that she examines in her Biodiversity study include Agroforestry and Global change.

Jill Thompson has included themes like Diameter at breast height and Biome in her Biomass study. Her Community research includes elements of Species pool, Community structure and Biogeography. Her work deals with themes such as Tropical climate, Ecological succession, Metabolic theory of ecology, Spatial ecology and Abiotic component, which intersect with Ecology.

Her most cited work include:

  • Loss of foundation species: consequences for the structure and dynamics of forested ecosystems (1299 citations)
  • Plant functional traits have globally consistent effects on competition (372 citations)
  • CTFS-ForestGEO: A worldwide network monitoring forests in an era of global change (319 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Ecology, Biodiversity, Biomass, Ecosystem and Species richness. Her study in Forest dynamics, Species diversity, Abundance, Forest ecology and Disturbance falls under the purview of Ecology. Her studies in Biodiversity integrate themes in fields like Spatial ecology, Agroforestry and Ecosystem services.

Her study in Biomass is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Deforestation, Horticulture, Seedling, Spatial variability and Forestry. Her work carried out in the field of Ecosystem brings together such families of science as Climate change, Tropics, Tropical forest, Physical geography and Aquatic ecosystem. Her research investigates the connection between Species richness and topics such as Basal area that intersect with problems in Soil fertility and Relative species abundance.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (72.48%)
  • Biodiversity (21.10%)
  • Biomass (21.10%)

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

  • Ecology (72.48%)
  • Ecosystem (18.35%)
  • Climate change (9.17%)

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

Jill Thompson mainly investigates Ecology, Ecosystem, Climate change, Community structure and Abundance. Her Ecology research focuses on Biodiversity, Species richness, Niche differentiation, Tree species and Biomass. Jill Thompson combines subjects such as Ecology and Biogeography with her study of Biodiversity.

Her Ecosystem research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Archipelago, Tropics, Physical geography and Basal area. Her research in Climate change intersects with topics in Environmental chemistry, Decomposition and Litter. Her studies deal with areas such as Disturbance, Seedling and Interspecific competition as well as Community structure.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Global importance of large‐diameter trees (138 citations)
  • Early stage litter decomposition across biomes (83 citations)
  • Hurricane María tripled stem breaks and doubled tree mortality relative to other major storms. (24 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Her primary areas of study are Climate change, Ecosystem, Ecology, Biome and Tropics. Her Climate change research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Typhoon, Specific leaf area, Resistance and Disturbance. Her work on Forest ecology is typically connected to Severe weather as part of general Ecosystem study, connecting several disciplines of science.

Her study in Biomass, Community structure, Habitat, Interspecific competition and Tree canopy are all subfields of Ecology. Jill Thompson has included themes like Environmental chemistry, Terrestrial ecosystem and Litter in her Biome study. Her Tropics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Abundance, Relative species abundance, Biodiversity, Tropical trees and Carbon cycle.
