Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Habitat

Luz Boyero mostly deals with Ecology, Plant litter, Ecosystem, STREAMS and Decomposer. Species richness, Food web, Temperate climate, Abundance and Trophic level are the subjects of his Ecology studies. His research in Temperate climate intersects with topics in Biodiversity and Tropics.

His Plant litter research incorporates themes from Riparian zone and Litter. His Litter research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Freshwater ecosystem and Detritivore. His Decomposer research incorporates elements of Global warming, Climate change, Carbon cycle and Biogeochemistry.

His most cited work include:

  • Riparian plant litter quality increases with latitude. (1037 citations)
  • A global experiment suggests climate warming will not accelerate litter decomposition in streams but might reduce carbon sequestration (197 citations)
  • Food webs in tropical Australian streams: shredders are not scarce (166 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Plant litter, Ecosystem, Litter and Detritivore. As part of his studies on Ecology, Luz Boyero often connects relevant subjects like STREAMS. The STREAMS study combines topics in areas such as Rainforest, Dry season, Spatial ecology and Temperate climate.

Luz Boyero has included themes like Biomass, Abundance, Food web and Decomposer in his Plant litter study. His study focuses on the intersection of Ecosystem and fields such as Microcosm with connections in the field of Nutrient cycle. His Litter study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Eucalyptus and Predatory fish.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (128.48%)
  • Plant litter (86.67%)
  • Ecosystem (77.58%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Ecosystem (77.58%)
  • Ecology (128.48%)
  • Plant litter (86.67%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecosystem, Ecology, Plant litter, Detritivore and Litter. The various areas that Luz Boyero examines in his Ecosystem study include Microcosm, Temperate climate, Biogeochemical cycle, Riparian zone and Nutrient. His Plant litter research includes themes of Trophic level, Tropics and Decomposer.

His Detritivore research focuses on Biomass and how it connects with Generalist and specialist species. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Abundance and STREAMS. Tropical climate is closely connected to Fauna in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Species richness.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global patterns and drivers of ecosystem functioning in rivers and riparian zones (39 citations)
  • Unravelling the global invasion routes of a worldwide invader, the red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) (21 citations)
  • Unravelling the global invasion routes of a worldwide invader, the red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) (21 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Habitat

His primary areas of study are Ecosystem, Ecology, STREAMS, Litter and Plant litter. His Ecosystem research includes elements of Microcosm, Periphyton and Temperate climate. His research brings together the fields of Propagule pressure and Ecology.

His work in Litter addresses issues such as Decomposer, which are connected to fields such as Monoculture and Field experiment. His Detritivore research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Animal science and Tannin. His Riparian zone study incorporates themes from River ecosystem and Biome.
