1949 - Fellow of American Physical Society (APS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Botany

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Ecological succession, Ecosystem, Botany and Primary succession. His research ties Germination and Ecology together. His Ecological succession study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Soil organic matter, Environmental resource management, Disturbance, Ecosystem development and Decomposer.

His Chronosequence study in the realm of Ecosystem interacts with subjects such as Effective management. His research in Primary succession tackles topics such as Alder which are related to areas like Salicaceae, Populus balsamifera, Salix alaxensis and Willow. His Myrica faya study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Myricaceae and Nitrogen fixation.

His most cited work include:

  • Competition and facilitation: a synthetic approach to interactions in plant communities (1550 citations)
  • Biological invasion by Myrica faya in Hawai'i: plant demography, nitrogen fixation, ecosystem effects (991 citations)
  • Mechanisms of Primary Succession Following Deglaciation at Glacier Bay, Alaska (810 citations)

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

His main research concerns Ecology, Ecological succession, Ecosystem, Botany and Primary succession. His Disturbance, Fern, Ecology, Habitat and Plant community investigations are all subjects of Ecology research. His Ecological succession study incorporates themes from Landslide, Restoration ecology, Environmental resource management, Vegetation and Temporal scales.

His specific area of interest is Ecosystem, where Lawrence R. Walker studies Chronosequence. His research in the fields of Germination, Shrub and Myrica faya overlaps with other disciplines such as Griselinia. His Primary succession research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Soil texture, Griselinia littoralis and Alder.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (61.78%)
  • Ecological succession (27.39%)
  • Ecosystem (20.38%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Ecology (61.78%)
  • Ecological succession (27.39%)
  • Ecology (8.28%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Ecological succession, Ecology, Native plant and Disturbance. Lawrence R. Walker integrates Ecology with Desert in his study. His Ecological succession research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Abiotic component, Restoration ecology, Environmental resource management and Biome.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Soil organic matter, Soil water, Erosion and Primary succession in addition to Abiotic component. His studies in Ecology integrate themes in fields like Landslide and Soil bioengineering. His Native plant study which covers Alpha diversity that intersects with Biotechnology, Assembly rules and Priority effect.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Ecological mitigation of hillslope instability: ten key issues facing researchers and practitioners (122 citations)
  • Is successional research nearing its climax? New approaches for understanding dynamic communities (105 citations)
  • Plant succession as an integrator of contrasting ecological time scales. (51 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

His primary areas of investigation include Ecological succession, Ecology, Temporal scales, Restoration ecology and Environmental resource management. His work on Connell–Slatyer model of ecological succession as part of general Ecological succession research is often related to Process, thus linking different fields of science. As part of his studies on Ecology, Lawrence R. Walker often connects relevant subjects like Landslide.

His work deals with themes such as Primary succession, Soil organic matter, Soil water, Fern and Erosion, which intersect with Landslide. His Temporal scales research integrates issues from Biodiversity, Trampling and Environmental change. The Environmental resource management study combines topics in areas such as Ecological systems theory and Community.
