Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Botany

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Holocene, Betula pubescens, Tree line and Climate change. Boreal is closely connected to Glacial period in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Ecology. His Holocene study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Paleoclimatology, Biostratigraphy, Physical geography, Population level and Paleoecology.

His Betula pubescens research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Archaeology and Climatic variability. His Tree line research incorporates elements of Population survey, Ecology, Pinus and Shrub. His Climate change research incorporates themes from Landscape ecology, Tundra and Altitude.

His most cited work include:

  • Rapid recent range-margin rise of tree and shrub species in the Swedish Scandes (415 citations)
  • 20th Century Climate Warming and Tree-limit Rise in the Southern Scandes of Sweden (222 citations)
  • Tree line population monitoring of Pinus sylvestris in the Swedish Scandes, 1973-2005: implications for tree line theory and climate change ecology (192 citations)

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

Ecology, Holocene, Physical geography, Betula pubescens and Picea abies are his primary areas of study. His study focuses on the intersection of Ecology and fields such as Scots pine with connections in the field of Period. The Holocene study combines topics in areas such as Climatology, Paleoclimatology and Paleoecology.

His Physical geography course of study focuses on Global warming and Alpine plant and Vegetation. The various areas that he examines in his Betula pubescens study include Larix sibirica, Archaeology, Snowmelt, Altitude and Ecotone. His work in Picea abies addresses subjects such as Karst, which are connected to disciplines such as Canopy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (54.17%)
  • Holocene (45.83%)
  • Physical geography (34.72%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Physical geography (34.72%)
  • Ecology (54.17%)
  • Betula pubescens (30.56%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Physical geography, Ecology, Betula pubescens, Scots pine and Tree. His work deals with themes such as Climate change and Holocene, which intersect with Physical geography. Leif Kullman combines subjects such as Ecotone, Krummholz, Peat, Subarctic climate and Alder with his study of Holocene.

His studies deal with areas such as Summit and Period as well as Ecology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Natural, Table, Picea abies, Plant community and Alnus incana. Scots pine is a subfield of Pinus that Leif Kullman explores.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Ecological tree line history and palaeoclimate – review of megafossil evidence from the Swedish Scandes (25 citations)
  • Pattern and process of present tree-limits in the Tärna region, southern Swedish Lapland (21 citations)
  • Treeline (Pinus sylvestris) landscape evolution in the Swedish Scandes – a 40-year demographic effort viewed in a broader temporal context (13 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Climate change

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Betula pubescens, Climate history, Tree and Tree line. Ecology is closely attributed to Chronology in his work. His Chronology study combines topics in areas such as Table, Picea abies, Alnus incana, Plant community and Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere.

His research combines Natural and Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere. His Landscape change investigation overlaps with Scots pine, Ecology, Pinus and Temporal context.
