Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

Mark S. Ashton mainly focuses on Ecology, Reforestation, Forest ecology, Agroforestry and Biodiversity. The study incorporates disciplines such as Afforestation, Ecology, Land restoration and Introduced species in addition to Reforestation. Mark S. Ashton has researched Forest ecology in several fields, including Forest management, Climate change and Physical geography.

His Agroforestry research incorporates themes from Ecosystem services and Land-use planning. His Biodiversity study incorporates themes from Nature reserve and Species diversity. His work carried out in the field of Deforestation brings together such families of science as Habitat destruction, Global biodiversity, Environmental change and Threatened species.

His most cited work include:

  • Averting biodiversity collapse in tropical forest protected areas (662 citations)
  • Accuracy assessments of hyperspectral waveband performance for vegetation analysis applications (371 citations)
  • Mapping tree density at a global scale (330 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Agroforestry, Understory, Forestry and Canopy. His Ecology study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Agronomy. His studies in Agronomy integrate themes in fields like Range, Dry season and Botany.

His Agroforestry study combines topics in areas such as Soil carbon and Forest restoration. His research integrates issues of Dominance and Leaf area index in his study of Understory. His study looks at the relationship between Forestry and topics such as Rainforest, which overlap with Shorea, Vegetation and Dipterocarpus.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (41.50%)
  • Agroforestry (29.25%)
  • Understory (16.33%)

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

  • Ecology (41.50%)
  • Agroforestry (29.25%)
  • Forestry (14.97%)

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

Mark S. Ashton mostly deals with Ecology, Agroforestry, Forestry, Secondary forest and Chronosequence. His research ties Biological dispersal and Ecology together. His Agroforestry research includes themes of Native forest, Floristics, Monodominance and Land use.

His work deals with themes such as Rainforest, Habitat, Temperate climate and Understory, which intersect with Forestry. His Understory study which covers Dipterocarpaceae that intersects with Ecological succession and Canopy. His Secondary forest study frequently links to other fields, such as Deforestation.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Defining and assessing urban forests to inform management and policy (7 citations)
  • Incentive Systems for Forest-Based Ecosystem Services with Missing Financial Service Markets (7 citations)
  • Floristics of soil seed banks on agricultural and disturbed land cleared of tropical forests (6 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

Agroforestry, Land use, Floristics, Regeneration and Ecology are his primary areas of study. Mark S. Ashton performs multidisciplinary study on Agroforestry and Central africa in his works. His work is dedicated to discovering how Land use, Basal area are connected with Secondary forest and other disciplines.

Mark S. Ashton interconnects Rare species, Seed dispersal and Secondary succession in the investigation of issues within Secondary forest. His study in Regeneration is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biomass, Canopy and Environmental resource management. His study in Disturbance, Range, Quaking Aspen, Coppicing and Global warming falls within the category of Ecology.
