Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Biodiversity, Ecosystem, Species richness and Habitat. Predation, Species diversity, Soil biology, Generalist and specialist species and Decomposer are the primary areas of interest in his Ecology study. His Soil biology research includes themes of Soil biodiversity, Soil ecology, Soil carbon and Intensive farming.

He interconnects Rare species, Ecosystem services, Grassland, Trophic level and Common species in the investigation of issues within Biodiversity. His Ecosystem research incorporates themes from Biomass and Agronomy. His work in Species richness tackles topics such as Abundance which are related to areas like Threatened species, Natural resource economics, Global warming, Habitat destruction and Climate change.

His most cited work include:

  • Long-term organic farming fosters below and aboveground biota: Implications for soil quality, biological control and productivity (350 citations)
  • Soil food web properties explain ecosystem services across European land use systems (345 citations)
  • Intensive agriculture reduces soil biodiversity across Europe (324 citations)

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

His main research concerns Ecology, Biodiversity, Predation, Habitat and Species richness. His work in Ecosystem, Generalist and specialist species, Trophic level, Spider and Organic farming are all subfields of Ecology research. His Biodiversity research integrates issues from Agroforestry, Ecosystem services, Agriculture, Grassland and Species diversity.

His Predation research includes elements of Aphid, Herbivore and Growing season. He has included themes like Ecology, Biological dispersal and Spatial heterogeneity in his Habitat study. His Species richness study also includes fields such as

  • Earthworm most often made with reference to Abundance,
  • Invertebrate which is related to area like Terrestrial ecosystem.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (90.85%)
  • Biodiversity (41.55%)
  • Predation (40.14%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Ecology (90.85%)
  • Habitat (35.92%)
  • Biodiversity (41.55%)

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

Ecology, Habitat, Biodiversity, Predation and Agronomy are his primary areas of study. His Habitat study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Abundance and Reforestation. His research integrates issues of Biomass, Species richness and Ecosystem services in his study of Biodiversity.

Predation is frequently linked to Trophic level in his study. His Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Soil water and Organic farming. Klaus Birkhofer has researched Earthworm in several fields, including Taxon and Ecosystem engineer, Ecosystem.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Scientists' warning to humanity on insect extinctions (94 citations)
  • Solutions for humanity on how to conserve insects (49 citations)
  • Soil Testate Amoebae and Diatoms as Bioindicators of an Old Heavy Metal Contaminated Floodplain in Japan. (10 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

His primary scientific interests are in Ecosystem services, Predation, Trinema, Biogeochemical cycle and Mulch. His Ecosystem services study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Habitat destruction, Habitat, Abundance and Climate change. His work deals with themes such as Semi natural habitats, Agroforestry, Crop diversity and Arable land, which intersect with Predation.

His Trinema research spans across into areas like Soil water, Floodplain, Bioindicator and Diatom. His Biogeochemical cycle research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Salinity and Botany, Amoeba. To a larger extent, he studies Agronomy with the aim of understanding Mulch.
