The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Agriculture
Lucas C. R. Silva mostly deals with Ecology, Vegetation, Biome, Ecosystem and Grassland.
His is involved in several facets of Ecology study, as is seen by his studies on Basal area, Ecotone, Soil organic matter, Water-use efficiency and Subtropics.
His Soil organic matter research integrates issues from Shrub, Soil carbon, Riparian zone, Carbon sink and Gallery forest.
His research integrates issues of Plant traits, Canopy, Alternative stable state and Bark in his study of Biome.
Ecosystem is frequently linked to Agroforestry in his study.
His research in Grassland focuses on subjects like Woody plant, which are connected to Woodland, Soil water and Soil science.
His most cited work include:
- Ecological thresholds at the savanna-forest boundary: how plant traits, resources and fire govern the distribution of tropical biomes (451 citations)
- Use of chemical and physical characteristics to investigate trends in biochar feedstocks. (225 citations)
- Probing for the influence of atmospheric CO2 and climate change on forest ecosystems across biomes (126 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Lucas C. R. Silva spends much of his time researching Ecology, Ecosystem, Climate change, Agronomy and Soil organic matter.
His study in Vegetation, Biome, Soil water, Ecotone and Forest ecology is carried out as part of his studies in Ecology.
His Vegetation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Agroforestry and Grassland.
His studies deal with areas such as Soil carbon, Biogeochemical cycle, Drought stress, Global change and Nutrient as well as Ecosystem.
Lucas C. R. Silva has researched Agronomy in several fields, including Organic matter, Canopy and Biochar.
His study looks at the relationship between Soil organic matter and topics such as Biomass, which overlap with Understory, Edaphic and Litter.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (67.26%)
- Ecosystem (39.82%)
- Climate change (17.70%)
