1968 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Habitat

His main research concerns Ecology, Ecosystem, River continuum concept, River ecosystem and STREAMS. His Invertebrate study in the realm of Ecology interacts with subjects such as Caloric theory. His Ecosystem research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ecological systems theory and Aquatic ecosystem.

His research in River continuum concept intersects with topics in Stream order, Aquatic insect, Ecosystem metabolism and RIVPACS. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Hydrology, Environmental resource management and Substrate. The STREAMS study combines topics in areas such as Woodland, Riparian zone and Ecosystem theory.

His most cited work include:

  • The River Continuum Concept (7333 citations)
  • AN INTRODUCTION TO THE AQUATIC INSECTS OF NORTH AMERICA (4033 citations)
  • Ecology of Coarse Woody Debris in Temperate Ecosystems (2820 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Ecosystem, Invertebrate, STREAMS and Hydrology. Riparian zone, Benthic zone, River ecosystem, Periphyton and River continuum concept are the primary areas of interest in his Ecology study. His studies deal with areas such as Flood pulse concept, Aquatic insect and Tributary as well as River continuum concept.

As a part of the same scientific study, Kenneth W. Cummins usually deals with the Ecosystem, concentrating on Organic matter and frequently concerns with Suspended load. His STREAMS research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Watershed, Particulates, Nutrient and Botany. His Hydrology study incorporates themes from Primary production and Particulate organic matter.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (64.77%)
  • Ecosystem (28.41%)
  • Invertebrate (23.86%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2017)?

  • Ecology (64.77%)
  • Invertebrate (23.86%)
  • Ecosystem (28.41%)

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

Kenneth W. Cummins mainly focuses on Ecology, Invertebrate, Ecosystem, Hydrology and STREAMS. River ecosystem, Riparian zone, Trophic level, Detritus and Biomass are the core of his Ecology study. His Invertebrate study combines topics in areas such as Hyporheic zone, Cricotopus and Habitat.

His research in Ecosystem focuses on subjects like Predation, which are connected to Biomonitoring. His research in Hydrology intersects with topics in Range, Field, Environmental resource management and Substrate. His work on River continuum concept expands to the thematically related STREAMS.

Between 2003 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • AN INTRODUCTION TO THE AQUATIC INSECTS OF NORTH AMERICA (4033 citations)
  • The use of invertebrate functional groups to characterize ecosystem attributes in selected streams and rivers in south Brazil (233 citations)
  • Ten Suggestions to Strengthen the Science of Ecology (103 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Habitat

Kenneth W. Cummins mainly investigates Ecology, Ecosystem, Riparian zone, STREAMS and River continuum concept. His Ecology study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Field. His work carried out in the field of Ecosystem brings together such families of science as Organic matter, Invertebrate and Raw data.

Kenneth W. Cummins combines subjects such as Field experiment, Agronomy and Periphyton with his study of Riparian zone. His STREAMS research is classified as research in Hydrology. The various areas that Kenneth W. Cummins examines in his River continuum concept study include Aquatic animal, Aquatic insect and Fauna.
