Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Genus

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Litter, Hymenoptera, Species richness and Tropics. His study in Ecosystem, Biodiversity, Climate change, Tropical climate and Rainforest is carried out as part of his Ecology studies. The concepts of his Ecosystem study are interwoven with issues in Abundance and Ectotherm.

His Litter research includes themes of Biomass, Nutrient, Plant litter and Decomposer. His Nutrient research integrates issues from Diameter at breast height and Soil fertility. His study in Species richness is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Nest, Population density, Panama and Species diversity.

His most cited work include:

  • Potassium, phosphorus, or nitrogen limit root allocation, tree growth, or litter production in a lowland tropical forest (358 citations)
  • Potassium, phosphorus, or nitrogen limit root allocation, tree growth, or litter production in a lowland tropical forest (358 citations)
  • Multiple nutrients limit litterfall and decomposition in a tropical forest. (313 citations)

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

His main research concerns Ecology, Ecosystem, Abundance, Nutrient and Litter. Species richness, Rainforest, Predation, Biomass and Trophic level are among the areas of Ecology where Michael Kaspari concentrates his study. His research in Ecosystem intersects with topics in Biodiversity and Ectotherm.

His biological study deals with issues like Biogeochemistry, which deal with fields such as Community structure. His Nutrient study incorporates themes from Agronomy and Botany. Michael Kaspari has included themes like Tropics, Decomposer and Plant litter in his Litter study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (125.50%)
  • Ecosystem (34.50%)
  • Abundance (25.00%)

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

  • Ecology (125.50%)
  • Ecosystem (34.50%)
  • Trophic level (18.00%)

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Ecosystem, Trophic level, Abundance and Herbivore. Ecology is a component of his Grassland, Biomass, Food web, Nutrient and Arthropod studies. His Ecosystem research incorporates elements of Productivity, Climate change, Adaptation and Ectotherm.

In his study, Community is inextricably linked to Invertebrate, which falls within the broad field of Trophic level. Michael Kaspari has researched Abundance in several fields, including Abiotic component, Species richness, Global change and Biogeochemistry. As part of one scientific family, Michael Kaspari deals mainly with the area of Herbivore, narrowing it down to issues related to the Ionomics, and often Botany and Ecology.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Nutrient dilution and climate cycles underlie declines in a dominant insect herbivore (26 citations)
  • A Distributed Experiment Demonstrates Widespread Sodium Limitation in Grassland Food Webs (13 citations)
  • The seventh macronutrient: how sodium shortfall ramifies through populations, food webs and ecosystems. (12 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Genus

Michael Kaspari focuses on Ecology, Grassland, Trophic level, Ecosystem and Abundance. His work in Biomass, Herbivore, Nutrient, Nutrient cycle and Spatial heterogeneity are all subfields of Ecology research. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Plant community, Food web, Abiotic component and Temperate climate.

His Herbivore research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Invertebrate, Detritivore, Ecology, Ionomics and Grazing. His work carried out in the field of Nutrient brings together such families of science as Omnivore, Community, Species richness and Growing season. His research integrates issues of Biodiversity, Environmental change, Taxonomic rank, Forest ecology and Adaptation in his study of Nutrient cycle.
