Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Biodiversity, Species richness, Ecosystem and Species diversity. Michael Scherer-Lorenzen interconnects Agroforestry, Monoculture, Ecosystem services, Biomass and Forest ecology in the investigation of issues within Biodiversity. His Species richness study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Extinction, Grassland, Knautia arvensis, Dominance and Ecosystem diversity.

His Grassland research includes themes of Litter and Biogeochemistry. Michael Scherer-Lorenzen combines subjects such as Afforestation, Global biodiversity, Environmental resource management and Taiga with his study of Ecosystem. The Species diversity study which covers Plant community that intersects with Introduced species, Ecological niche and Niche.

His most cited work include:

  • Plant diversity and productivity experiments in european grasslands (1572 citations)
  • High plant diversity is needed to maintain ecosystem services (879 citations)
  • Positive biodiversity-productivity relationship predominant in global forests (517 citations)

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

His main research concerns Ecology, Biodiversity, Species richness, Ecosystem and Biomass. His Grassland, Plant community, Forest ecology, Herbivore and Resistance investigations are all subjects of Ecology research. The various areas that Michael Scherer-Lorenzen examines in his Plant community study include Ecological niche and Competition.

In Biodiversity, Michael Scherer-Lorenzen works on issues like Monoculture, which are connected to Canopy. The Species richness study combines topics in areas such as Productivity, Agronomy, Litter, Botany and Species diversity. His Ecosystem research incorporates themes from Soil biology, Dominance and Vegetation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (66.09%)
  • Biodiversity (50.64%)
  • Species richness (45.49%)

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

  • Ecology (66.09%)
  • Biodiversity (50.64%)
  • Ecosystem (41.63%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Biodiversity, Ecosystem, Species richness and Agronomy. His research in Biodiversity intersects with topics in Agriculture, Agroforestry, Grassland and Environmental resource management. His Grassland study combines topics in areas such as Biomass, Plant species and Species level.

His Ecosystem research incorporates elements of Vegetation and Biogeochemical cycle. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Productivity, Resource, Intraspecific competition and Understory. His work deals with themes such as Decomposer and Plant litter, which intersect with Agronomy.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (179 citations)
  • The Future of Complementarity: Disentangling Causes from Consequences (73 citations)
  • Identifying the tree species compositions that maximize ecosystem functioning in European forests (23 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Michael Scherer-Lorenzen mostly deals with Biodiversity, Ecology, Ecosystem, Grassland and Species richness. His study in Biodiversity is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Agriculture, Ecosystem model and Monoculture. Abundance, Ecology, Trophic level, Global biodiversity and Forest ecology are among the areas of Ecology where he concentrates his study.

His research investigates the connection between Ecosystem and topics such as Abiotic component that intersect with issues in Facilitation, Plant–soil feedback and Community. His Grassland study incorporates themes from Biomass, Plant species, Species level and Plant productivity. His Species richness research focuses on Productivity and how it connects with Plant community, Resource and Tree species.
