The primary topics in their work cover forest ecology and management, forest management and policy, fire effects on ecosystems, forest biomass utilization and management, ecology and vegetation dynamics studies, rangeland and wildlife management, and remote sensing and LiDAR applications.

Keryn I. Paul has contributed to recent scientific papers such as:

  • Mapping carbon accumulation potential from global natural forest regrowth (2020, Nature)
  • Predicting carbon sequestration of woody biomass following land restoration (2020, Forest Ecology and Management)
  • Future climate impacts on forest growth and implications for carbon sequestration through reforestation in southeast Australia (2021, Journal of Environmental Management)
  • Can crown variables increase the generality of individual tree biomass equations? (2020, Trees)
  • Tree mortality and carbon emission as a function of wildfire severity in south-eastern Australian temperate forests (2022, The Science of The Total Environment)

They have collaborated frequently with other researchers, including Stephen H. Roxburgh, Jacqueline R. England, David I. Forrester, Liubov Volkova, and Christopher J. Weston.

Keryn I. Paul's publications appear regularly in journals such as the SSRN Electronic Journal, Forest Ecology and Management, The Rangeland Journal, Ecological Modelling, and the International Journal For Multidisciplinary Research.

In addition to journal articles, Keryn I. Paul has contributed to book publications, including work published by Ghent University, notably a book titled Aboveground Woody Biomass Product Validation Good Practices Protocol (2021).
