Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, STREAMS, Floodplain, Litter and Benthic zone. The study incorporates disciplines such as Flood myth and Water level in addition to Ecology. In his work, Decomposer and Biogeochemical cycle is strongly intertwined with Plant litter, which is a subfield of STREAMS.

His work carried out in the field of Litter brings together such families of science as Organic matter and Temperate climate. His studies in Benthic zone integrate themes in fields like Invertebrate and Erosion. His Biodiversity research incorporates themes from Endangered species, Species diversity, Wetland and Amazon rainforest.

His most cited work include:

  • Biodiversity and its conservation in the Pantanal of Mato Grosso, Brazil (350 citations)
  • The flood pulse concept: new aspects, approaches and applications - an update (232 citations)
  • Ecological effects of water-level fluctuations in lakes: an urgent issue (209 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Floodplain, Wetland, Biodiversity and Environmental resource management. Ecology is often connected to STREAMS in his work. He interconnects Channel, Trophic level, Food web and Tributary in the investigation of issues within Floodplain.

His work focuses on many connections between Wetland and other disciplines, such as Agroforestry, that overlap with his field of interest in Biome and Vegetation. His Biodiversity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Drainage basin and Flood myth. His Environmental resource management research includes themes of River restoration, German, Ecosystem services, Sustainable management and Water Framework Directive.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (55.56%)
  • Floodplain (28.40%)
  • Wetland (29.63%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Ecology (55.56%)
  • Ecosystem (17.28%)
  • Floodplain (28.40%)

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

Karl M. Wantzen mainly focuses on Ecology, Ecosystem, Floodplain, Margaritifera auricularia and Environmental resource management. When carried out as part of a general Ecology research project, his work on Trophic level, Amazon rainforest and Biome is frequently linked to work in Dikerogammarus villosus and Landscape connectivity, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. Many of his research projects under Ecosystem are closely connected to Cultural diversity with Cultural diversity, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

His Floodplain study deals with Invertebrate intersecting with Food web, Benthic zone and Wetland. His Wetland study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Debris and Plastic pollution. The Environmental resource management study combines topics in areas such as Biodiversity, River restoration and Water Framework Directive.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • River Culture: an eco-social approach to mitigate the biological and cultural diversity crisis in riverscapes (34 citations)
  • Massive plastic pollution in a mega-river of a developing country: Sediment deposition and ingestion by fish (Prochilodus lineatus). (27 citations)
  • Urban Stream and Wetland Restoration in the Global South—A DPSIR Analysis (15 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

His primary areas of study are Ecosystem, Environmental resource management, Flood myth, Fishery and Urban stream. The concepts of his Ecosystem study are interwoven with issues in Urban planning and Urban sprawl. Karl M. Wantzen combines subjects such as River restoration, Riparian zone and Water Framework Directive with his study of Environmental resource management.

His studies deal with areas such as Ecology, Invertebrate, Organic matter, Typology and Main stem as well as Flood myth. His work deals with themes such as Floodplain, Biodiversity and Wetland, which intersect with Organic matter. His Floodplain study frequently involves adjacent topics like Habitat.
