What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Climate change
Her main research concerns Climate change, Vegetation, Ecosystem, Climatology and Carbon cycle.
Her work deals with themes such as Environmental resource management and Environmental protection, which intersect with Climate change.
Her research in Vegetation focuses on subjects like Dynamic global vegetation model, which are connected to Disturbance and Plant functional type.
The Terrestrial ecosystem and Ecosystem services research Kirsten Thonicke does as part of her general Ecosystem study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Geochemical cycle, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
In her study, Forcing, Peninsula and Wind speed is strongly linked to Fire regime, which falls under the umbrella field of Climatology.
Kirsten Thonicke works mostly in the field of Carbon cycle, limiting it down to topics relating to Carbon dioxide and, in certain cases, Taiga, as a part of the same area of interest.
Her most cited work include:
- Evaluation of ecosystem dynamics, plant geography and terrestrial carbon cycling in the LPJ dynamic global vegetation model (2314 citations)
- Ecosystem Service Supply and Vulnerability to Global Change in Europe (1280 citations)
- Climate extremes and the carbon cycle (804 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Climate change, Vegetation, Climatology, Ecosystem and Environmental resource management are her primary areas of study.
Her studies in Climate change integrate themes in fields like Physical geography and Land use, land-use change and forestry.
Her study in Vegetation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biomass, Dynamic global vegetation model, Primary production, Atmospheric sciences and Precipitation.
Her study looks at the intersection of Climatology and topics like Biome with Boreal.
Her Ecosystem study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Spatial ecology, Agroforestry and Natural resource economics.
Her research integrates issues of Biodiversity, Ecosystem services, Deforestation, Sustainability and Adaptive capacity in her study of Environmental resource management.
She most often published in these fields:
- Climate change (35.43%)
- Vegetation (33.07%)
- Climatology (28.35%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Climate change (35.43%)
- Environmental resource management (17.32%)
- Vegetation (33.07%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Kirsten Thonicke spends much of her time researching Climate change, Environmental resource management, Vegetation, Ecosystem and Physical geography.
Her Climate change research incorporates elements of Climatology and Natural hazard.
Her Environmental resource management study combines topics in areas such as Ecological systems theory, Land use, land-use change and forestry, Land use, Ecosystem services and Adaptive capacity.
Kirsten Thonicke interconnects Biomass, Dynamic global vegetation model, Atmospheric sciences and Carbon cycle in the investigation of issues within Vegetation.
Her Ecosystem research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Oceanography, Spring and Peninsula.
Her Physical geography research includes themes of Permafrost, Pan arctic and Precipitation.
Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:
- Adaptive responses of animals to climate change are most likely insufficient (96 citations)
- Changes in Climate and Land Use Over the Amazon Region: Current and Future Variability and Trends (84 citations)
- The dimensionality of stability depends on disturbance type (24 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Climate change
Her primary areas of study are Land use, Climate change, Agroforestry, Ecosystem services and Land use, land-use change and forestry.
The various areas that Kirsten Thonicke examines in her Land use study include Vegetation, Vegetation cover, Precipitation and Amazon rainforest.
Her Climate change research integrates issues from Climatology, Northern Hemisphere and Troposphere.
Her Land use, land-use change and forestry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Tipping point, Deforestation, Environmental resource management, Moisture recycling and Sustainability.
Her Ecosystem health study is focused on Ecosystem in general.
The Ecosystem study combines topics in areas such as Natural resource economics, Social ecological model and Cattle ranching.
