Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

Markus Fischer mainly investigates Ecology, Biodiversity, Species richness, Ecosystem and Biomass. His work in Grassland, Species diversity, Local adaptation, Rare species and Plant community are all subfields of Ecology research. Markus Fischer has researched Biodiversity in several fields, including Forest management, Trophic level, Forest ecology and Land use.

Markus Fischer focuses mostly in the field of Species richness, narrowing it down to topics relating to Ecosystem diversity and, in certain cases, Food web, Trophic cascade and Herbivore. His Ecosystem research includes elements of Productivity and Complementarity. His work deals with themes such as Introduced species, Abundance, Global biodiversity and Invasive species, which intersect with Biomass.

His most cited work include:

  • A meta‐analysis of trait differences between invasive and non‐invasive plant species (1123 citations)
  • The IPBES Conceptual Framework - connecting nature and people (913 citations)
  • A meta-analysis of local adaptation in plants. (683 citations)

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

Markus Fischer focuses on Ecology, Biodiversity, Species richness, Ecosystem and Grassland. His Species diversity, Biomass, Habitat, Plant community and Abundance investigations are all subjects of Ecology research. His study in Biodiversity is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Trophic level, Environmental resource management, Land use and Ecosystem services.

As part of one scientific family, Markus Fischer deals mainly with the area of Species richness, narrowing it down to issues related to the Forest management, and often Forest ecology. He incorporates Ecosystem and Context in his studies. Many of his studies on Grassland apply to Grazing as well.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (62.36%)
  • Biodiversity (34.50%)
  • Species richness (26.94%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Ecology (62.36%)
  • Biodiversity (34.50%)
  • Species richness (26.94%)

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Biodiversity, Species richness, Ecosystem and Grassland. His is involved in several facets of Ecology study, as is seen by his studies on Biomass, Habitat, Rare species, Trophic level and Plant community. The concepts of his Biodiversity study are interwoven with issues in Phylogenetic diversity, Land use, Spatial heterogeneity and Environmental resource management.

The various areas that he examines in his Species richness study include Forest management, Vegetation and Agronomy, Grazing. His Ecosystem research incorporates elements of Productivity and Ecology. His Grassland research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Abundance and Abiotic component.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Arthropod decline in grasslands and forests is associated with landscape-level drivers (219 citations)
  • Redefining ecosystem multifunctionality. (164 citations)
  • Impacts of species richness on productivity in a large-scale subtropical forest experiment. (141 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

Markus Fischer spends much of his time researching Ecology, Biodiversity, Ecosystem, Species richness and Land use. His is doing research in Plant community, Forest management, Abundance, Niche and Gamma diversity, both of which are found in Ecology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biomass, Grassland, Species diversity, Trophic level and Spatial heterogeneity.

His work carried out in the field of Ecosystem brings together such families of science as Plant species and Ecology. The concepts of his Species richness study are interwoven with issues in Productivity, Grazing, Agronomy, Competition and Bryophyte. His Ecosystem services study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ecosystem management, Land management and Environmental resource management.
