Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • Botany

Karen J. Esler mainly investigates Ecology, Biodiversity, Habitat, Environmental resource management and Arid. As a part of the same scientific study, Karen J. Esler usually deals with the Ecology, concentrating on Botany and frequently concerns with Range and Agronomy. The Biodiversity study which covers Plant community that intersects with Applied ecology.

Her Environmental resource management research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Rigour and Ecosystem services, Natural capital. Her Arid study combines topics in areas such as Shrub, Scale, Global biodiversity, Species diversity and Plant diversity. The study incorporates disciplines such as Restoration ecology and Abiotic component in addition to Riparian zone.

Her most cited work include:

  • Riparian vegetation: Degradation, alien plant invasions, and restoration prospects (627 citations)
  • Namaqualand, South Africa - An overview of a unique winter-rainfall desert ecosystem (208 citations)
  • Are Socioeconomic Benefits of Restoration Adequately Quantified? A Meta‐analysis of Recent Papers (2000–2008) in Restoration Ecology and 12 Other Scientific Journals (177 citations)

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

Ecology, Agroforestry, Biodiversity, Introduced species and Invasive species are her primary areas of study. Her multidisciplinary approach integrates Ecology and Alien in her work. Karen J. Esler combines subjects such as Vegetation and Biome with her study of Agroforestry.

Her studies examine the connections between Biodiversity and genetics, as well as such issues in Arid, with regards to Shrub and Botany. The Introduced species study combines topics in areas such as Restoration ecology and Agronomy. Her Restoration ecology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ecosystem and Environmental resource management.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (48.87%)
  • Agroforestry (15.04%)
  • Biodiversity (14.66%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Ecology (48.87%)
  • Biodiversity (14.66%)
  • Range (7.89%)

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

Her main research concerns Ecology, Biodiversity, Range, Environmental planning and Invasive species. Ecology and Cape are frequently intertwined in her study. Her Biodiversity research incorporates themes from Certainty, Ecology, Delphi method and Strategic communication.

The various areas that Karen J. Esler examines in her Range study include Wildflower and Earth science. Her research integrates issues of Acacia, Acacia mearnsii, Environmental resource management and System dynamics in her study of Invasive species. Her Acacia mearnsii study also includes

  • Introduced species, which have a strong connection to Agronomy,
  • Herbivore that connect with fields like Plant ecology,
  • Nutrient which is related to area like Ecosystem and Riparian zone.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Exploring the dynamics of research collaborations by mapping social networks in invasion science. (26 citations)
  • Levers and leverage points for pathways to sustainability (13 citations)
  • Biological Invasions and Ecological Restoration in South Africa (12 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • Botany

Her primary areas of investigation include Biodiversity, Ecology, Ecosystem services, National park and Protected area. Karen J. Esler has included themes like Seed dispersal, Interspecific competition, Ecology, Environmental change and Ecological niche in her Biodiversity study. Ecology is frequently linked to Affect in her study.

As a part of the same scientific family, Karen J. Esler mostly works in the field of Ecosystem services, focusing on Environmental protection and, on occasion, Threatened species. Her National park research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Alien species, Introduced species, Salience, Hectare and Stakeholder analysis. Sustainable development, Regeneration, Restoration ecology, Convention on Biological Diversity and Ecosystem is closely connected to Environmental planning in her research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Stakeholder analysis.
