What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
Manuel A. S. Graça spends much of his time researching Ecology, Plant litter, Botany, Decomposer and Ecosystem.
His studies deal with areas such as Alder, Alnus glutinosa, STREAMS, Litter and Detritivore as well as Plant litter.
His Alder study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Eucalyptus and Eucalyptus globulus.
His research investigates the connection between Botany and topics such as Nitrate that intersect with issues in Biomass.
His work on Carbon cycle as part of general Ecosystem research is often related to Carbon sequestration, thus linking different fields of science.
Within one scientific family, Manuel A. S. Graça focuses on topics pertaining to Invertebrate under Riparian zone, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Organic matter, Community structure and Fragmentation.
His most cited work include:
- Riparian plant litter quality increases with latitude. (1037 citations)
- The Role of Invertebrates on Leaf Litter Decomposition in Streams – a Review (559 citations)
- Continental-scale effects of nutrient pollution on stream ecosystem functioning. (366 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Manuel A. S. Graça mainly focuses on Ecology, Plant litter, Botany, Litter and STREAMS.
His research related to Invertebrate, Species richness, Nutrient, Substrate and Biodiversity might be considered part of Ecology.
The Plant litter study combines topics in areas such as Agronomy, Decomposer, Riparian zone and Detritivore.
His work deals with themes such as Tropics and Animal science, which intersect with Detritivore.
His Litter research includes elements of Decomposition, Microcosm, Organic matter, Temperate climate and Biomass.
Manuel A. S. Graça combines subjects such as Aquatic ecosystem, Benthic zone and Eutrophication with his study of Ecosystem.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (43.62%)
- Plant litter (34.23%)
- Botany (28.86%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Plant litter (34.23%)
- Litter (28.19%)
- Environmental chemistry (14.09%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Plant litter, Litter, Environmental chemistry, STREAMS and Detritivore.
His Plant litter study also includes
- Temperate climate which intersects with area such as Colonization, Agronomy, Eucalyptus and Decomposer,
- Respiration which is related to area like Respiratory quotient.
As a part of the same scientific study, Manuel A. S. Graça usually deals with the Litter, concentrating on Terrestrial plant and frequently concerns with Perennial plant.
Manuel A. S. Graça has researched STREAMS in several fields, including Grazing, Canopy, Ecosystem and Periphyton.
Ecosystem is a subfield of Ecology that Manuel A. S. Graça investigates.
His studies in Detritivore integrate themes in fields like Energy budget and Animal science.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Methods to Study Litter Decomposition: A Practical Guide (308 citations)
- A global analysis of terrestrial plant litter dynamics in non-perennial waterways (45 citations)
- Global patterns and drivers of ecosystem functioning in rivers and riparian zones (39 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Manuel A. S. Graça spends much of his time researching Plant litter, Riparian zone, Ecosystem, Nutrient and Environmental chemistry.
His Plant litter study frequently links to other fields, such as Litter.
In Litter, Manuel A. S. Graça works on issues like Perennial plant, which are connected to Arid.
His study looks at the relationship between Riparian zone and fields such as Biome, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.
His Ecosystem study is concerned with the larger field of Ecology.
His research integrates issues of Leaching, Climate change, Litter decomposition and Nitrate in his study of Environmental chemistry.
