Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Sustainability

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Environmental resource management, Agroforestry, Cultural ecology, Diversity and Sustainability. His study in the fields of Protected area under the domain of Environmental resource management overlaps with other disciplines such as Geospatial analysis. His work focuses on many connections between Agroforestry and other disciplines, such as Biodiversity, that overlap with his field of interest in Peasant.

Karl S. Zimmerer combines subjects such as IUCN Red List and Environmentalism with his study of Cultural ecology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Development policy, Livelihood and Land reform in addition to Sustainability. Karl S. Zimmerer focuses mostly in the field of Political ecology, narrowing it down to matters related to Land use and, in some cases, Development studies.

His most cited work include:

  • Political ecology : an integrative approach to geography and environment-development studies (328 citations)
  • The Reworking of Conservation Geographies: Nonequilibrium Landscapes and Nature-Society Hybrids (306 citations)
  • Human Geography and the “New Ecology”: The Prospect and Promise of Integration (306 citations)

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

Karl S. Zimmerer mainly investigates Agricultural biodiversity, Agroforestry, Agriculture, Sustainability and Livelihood. His Agricultural biodiversity research includes themes of Indigenous, Resource, Land use, Development economics and Food security. His Resource study deals with Political ecology intersecting with Water resources, Systems ecology and Ecology.

His studies in Agroforestry integrate themes in fields like Peasant and Biodiversity, Crop diversity. His Agriculture study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Natural resource economics and Agronomy. His work carried out in the field of Sustainability brings together such families of science as Anthropocene, Environmental resource management and Environmental planning.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agricultural biodiversity (24.04%)
  • Agroforestry (21.15%)
  • Agriculture (20.19%)

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

  • Agricultural biodiversity (24.04%)
  • Agriculture (20.19%)
  • Sustainability (19.23%)

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

His main research concerns Agricultural biodiversity, Agriculture, Sustainability, Food systems and Agroecology. His Agricultural biodiversity research incorporates elements of Indigenous, Conceptual framework, Urbanization, Development economics and Food security. In his study, Biodiversity is strongly linked to Small-scale agriculture, which falls under the umbrella field of Food security.

His studies deal with areas such as Anthropocene and Environmental planning as well as Sustainability. The Food systems study combines topics in areas such as Food sovereignty, Livelihood and Sustainable development. His work in Agroecology is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Agroforestry.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Spillover systems in a telecoupled Anthropocene: typology, methods, and governance for global sustainability (42 citations)
  • The biodiversity of food and agriculture (Agrobiodiversity) in the anthropocene: Research advances and conceptual framework (29 citations)
  • Woody vegetation dynamics in the tropical and subtropical Andes from 2001 to 2014: Satellite image interpretation and expert validation. (21 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Sustainability

His scientific interests lie mostly in Sustainability, Biodiversity, Agricultural biodiversity, Anthropocene and Agriculture. His Sustainability research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Environmental planning, Sustainable development, Natural resource economics, Small-scale agriculture and Food security. His Biodiversity study combines topics in areas such as Subtropics, Elevation, Forestry, Fauna and Vegetation.

Karl S. Zimmerer has included themes like Conceptual framework, Subsistence agriculture and Food systems in his Agricultural biodiversity study. His Anthropocene study incorporates themes from Typology, Industrial organization and Earth system science. His work on Agroecology as part of general Agriculture study is frequently linked to Diet Surveys, Poisson regression and Stratified sampling, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.
