Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Monica G. Turner spends much of her time researching Ecology, Landscape ecology, Spatial ecology, Environmental resource management and Ecosystem. Her study in Spatial heterogeneity, Ecology, Disturbance, Land cover and Habitat falls under the purview of Ecology. Her work deals with themes such as Bark beetle, Intertidal zone and Mountain pine beetle, which intersect with Disturbance.

Her Landscape epidemiology study, which is part of a larger body of work in Landscape ecology, is frequently linked to Fractal dimension, bridging the gap between disciplines. The Environmental resource management study combines topics in areas such as Resource, Ecosystem services, Common spatial pattern, Sustainable development and Temporal scales. Her research integrates issues of Global warming, Climate change and Crown in her study of Ecosystem.

Her most cited work include:

  • Landscape Ecology: The Effect of Pattern on Process (2447 citations)
  • The Report of the Ecological Society of America Committee on the Scientific Basis for Ecosystem Management (1277 citations)
  • Indices of landscape pattern (1268 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Ecology, Ecosystem, Landscape ecology, Environmental resource management and Ecology. Her Ecology study focuses mostly on Disturbance, Pinus contorta, Habitat, Spatial heterogeneity and National park. Her Ecosystem study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Global warming, Climate change and Vegetation.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Spatial ecology, Applied ecology, Land use and Sustainable development in addition to Landscape ecology. The concepts of her Spatial ecology study are interwoven with issues in Spatial analysis and Scale. Monica G. Turner interconnects Ecological systems theory, Sustainability and Ecosystem services in the investigation of issues within Environmental resource management.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (66.76%)
  • Ecosystem (22.92%)
  • Landscape ecology (21.78%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Ecology (66.76%)
  • Environmental resource management (16.62%)
  • Ecosystem (22.92%)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Environmental resource management, Ecosystem, Ecosystem services and Landscape ecology. Her study in Ecology concentrates on Pinus contorta, Disturbance, Climate change, Ecological succession and Fire regime. Her studies deal with areas such as Ecological systems theory, Natural capital, Surface runoff and Common spatial pattern as well as Environmental resource management.

She has included themes like Basal area, Biosphere and Temperate climate in her Ecosystem study. Her Ecosystem services research includes elements of Watershed and Land cover, Land use, Land management, Land use, land-use change and forestry. Her Landscape ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Spatial ecology, Ecology, Spatial heterogeneity and Sustainable development.

Between 2013 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Changing disturbance regimes, ecological memory, and forest resilience (541 citations)
  • Landscape Ecology in Theory and Practice (352 citations)
  • Adapt to more wildfire in western North American forests as climate changes (303 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Monica G. Turner mostly deals with Ecology, Environmental resource management, Disturbance, Ecosystem and Ecosystem services. Her Ecology study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Watershed. Her work in Environmental resource management addresses issues such as Climate change, which are connected to fields such as Land use, Biogeography, Forest management and Environmental protection.

Her Disturbance research incorporates elements of Ecological systems theory, Vegetation and Abiotic component. The Ecosystem study which covers Temperate climate that intersects with Global change, Woodland and Frequency distribution. Her study in the field of Natural capital is also linked to topics like Data science.
