Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Habitat
  • Biodiversity

Ecology, Habitat, Vegetation, Biological dispersal and Plant community are his primary areas of study. In his research on the topic of Ecology, Land use is strongly related with Environmental resource management. He combines subjects such as Biodiversity and Species richness with his study of Habitat.

His studies in Vegetation integrate themes in fields like Ecoinformatics and Database. As part of one scientific family, Joop H.J. Schaminée deals mainly with the area of Biological dispersal, narrowing it down to issues related to the Niche, and often Extinction, Life history theory, Competition and Neutral theory of molecular evolution. His Plant community study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Woodland and Soil seed bank.

His most cited work include:

  • TURBOVEG, a comprehensive data base management system for vegetation data (651 citations)
  • Vegetation of Europe: hierarchical floristic classification system of vascular plant, bryophyte, lichen, and algal communities (388 citations)
  • Vegetation of Europe: hierarchical floristic classification system of vascular plant, bryophyte, lichen, and algal communities (388 citations)

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

Joop H.J. Schaminée mostly deals with Ecology, Vegetation, Habitat, Plant community and Biodiversity. His study in Ecology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biological dispersal and Environmental resource management. His research integrates issues of Database, Ecoinformatics, Plot, Grassland and Grazing in his study of Vegetation.

His Habitat research incorporates elements of Range, IUCN Red List, Spatial distribution and Physical geography. The various areas that Joop H.J. Schaminée examines in his Biodiversity study include Relative species abundance and Introduced species. His Vegetation classification research incorporates themes from Ordination, Salt marsh, Taxon, Phytosociology and Landscape planning.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (63.04%)
  • Vegetation (28.26%)
  • Habitat (22.83%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Ecology (63.04%)
  • Habitat (22.83%)
  • Vegetation (28.26%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Habitat, Vegetation, Biodiversity and Vegetation classification. His work is connected to Plant community, Ecosystem, Dominance, Introduced species and Taxon, as a part of Ecology. The Habitat study combines topics in areas such as Range, IUCN Red List and Grassland.

His Vegetation study combines topics in areas such as Physical geography, Species richness and Grazing. His studies deal with areas such as Species distribution and Environmental resource management as well as Biodiversity. In his research, Bryophyte is intimately related to Landscape planning, which falls under the overarching field of Vascular plant.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Vegetation of Europe: hierarchical floristic classification system of vascular plant, bryophyte, lichen, and algal communities (388 citations)
  • Vegetation of Europe: hierarchical floristic classification system of vascular plant, bryophyte, lichen, and algal communities (388 citations)
  • Museum specimens reveal loss of pollen host plants as key factor driving wild bee decline in The Netherlands. (160 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Habitat
  • Biodiversity

Joop H.J. Schaminée spends much of his time researching Ecology, Vegetation, Species richness, Habitat and Vegetation classification. The study incorporates disciplines such as Agroforestry, Productivity, Physical geography, Mediterranean climate and Wetland in addition to Vegetation. His Species richness research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Biomass, Resistance, Species diversity, Grazing and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index.

His Habitat research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of IUCN Red List, Biodiversity and Completeness. His biological study deals with issues like Ordination, which deal with fields such as Indicator species. His Taxon research includes elements of Nomenclature, Landscape planning, Vascular plant, Bryophyte and Centralized database.
