What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Agriculture
- Ecosystem
- Climate change
His primary areas of study are Amazon rainforest, Land use, Deforestation, Drainage basin and Climatology.
Marcos Heil Costa usually deals with Amazon rainforest and limits it to topics linked to Structural basin and Surface runoff and Drainage.
His biological study focuses on Land cover.
His Deforestation research integrates issues from Old-growth forest, Agroforestry, Greenhouse gas and Ecosystem services.
To a larger extent, Marcos Heil Costa studies Hydrology with the aim of understanding Drainage basin.
He has researched Climatology in several fields, including Dry season, Climate change, Carbon cycle and Amazonian.
His most cited work include:
- Effects of large-scale changes in land cover on the discharge of the Tocantins River, Southeastern Amazonia (510 citations)
- Effects of large-scale changes in land cover on the discharge of the Tocantins River, Southeastern Amazonia (510 citations)
- Evaluation of MODIS NPP and GPP products across multiple biomes. (419 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Amazon rainforest, Hydrology, Deforestation, Climatology and Climate change.
His research integrates issues of Agroforestry, Land use, Drainage basin, Precipitation and Rainforest in his study of Amazon rainforest.
His study on Land cover and Land use, land-use change and forestry is often connected to Census as part of broader study in Land use.
His research investigates the link between Hydrology and topics such as Dry season that cross with problems in Wet season.
His studies in Deforestation integrate themes in fields like Biodiversity and Forest ecology.
His Discharge research incorporates themes from Structural basin and Surface runoff.
He most often published in these fields:
- Amazon rainforest (47.06%)
- Hydrology (25.00%)
- Deforestation (21.32%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?
- Amazon rainforest (47.06%)
- Agroforestry (19.12%)
- Agriculture (11.76%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Amazon rainforest, Agroforestry, Agriculture, Deforestation and Land use, land-use change and forestry.
His Amazon rainforest research incorporates elements of Climatology, Wet season, Climate change, Hydrology and Hydropower.
His Climate change study combines topics in areas such as Vegetation, Discharge, Multiple cropping and Water resource management.
His Agroforestry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ecosystem, Biome, Ecosystem services, Precipitation and Water vapor.
The various areas that he examines in his Deforestation study include Crop livestock, Greenhouse gas and Environmental resource management.
Marcos Heil Costa works in the field of Land use, focusing on Land cover in particular.
Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Patterns of land use, extensification, and intensification of Brazilian agriculture. (122 citations)
- Toward an integrated monitoring framework to assess the effects of tropical forest degradation and recovery on carbon stocks and biodiversity (112 citations)
- Projections of climate change effects on discharge and inundation in the Amazon basin (90 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Agriculture
- Climate change
- Ecosystem
His main research concerns Amazon rainforest, Climate change, Wet season, Deforestation and Agriculture.
His study in Amazon rainforest is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biodiversity, Climatology, Greenhouse gas, Dry season and Hydroelectricity.
His Climatology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biomass, Atmospheric sciences and Vegetation, Biosphere model.
His Climate change research includes elements of Hydrology, Floodplain, Main stem and Hydropower.
The concepts of his Deforestation study are interwoven with issues in Global biodiversity, Forest restoration, Forest ecology and Environmental resource management.
His work in the fields of Agriculture, such as Multiple cropping and Land use, land-use change and forestry, intersects with other areas such as Productivity.
