Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Botany

Nalini M. Nadkarni mainly focuses on Ecology, Canopy, Cloud forest, Epiphyte and Plant litter. Her study looks at the intersection of Canopy and topics like Old-growth forest with Secondary forest. The Cloud forest study combines topics in areas such as Forest floor, Organic matter, Throughfall and Deposition.

Her Epiphyte research includes themes of Rainforest, Plant community, Nutrient cycle and Species diversity. Her Plant litter research includes elements of Montane ecology, Hymenoptera, Grassland, Quercus douglasii and Root system. The concepts of her Forest ecology study are interwoven with issues in Agroforestry and Biodiversity.

Her most cited work include:

  • Structure and microclimate of forest canopies. (316 citations)
  • Facilitation and Interference of Quercus Douglasii on Understory Productivity in Central California (311 citations)
  • Epiphyte biomass and nutrient capital of a neotropical Elfin forest (260 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Canopy, Epiphyte, Cloud forest and Agroforestry. Her works in Forest floor, Forest ecology, Old-growth forest, Secondary forest and Ecology are all subjects of inquiry into Ecology. Nalini M. Nadkarni has researched Canopy in several fields, including Rainforest, Biodiversity, Forestry and Agronomy.

Her Epiphyte research incorporates themes from Biomass and Temperate rainforest, Ecosystem, Plant litter. Her study explores the link between Plant litter and topics such as Litter that cross with problems in Standing crop. Her study looks at the relationship between Cloud forest and topics such as Species richness, which overlap with Arthropod.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (48.61%)
  • Canopy (34.03%)
  • Epiphyte (34.03%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Ecology (48.61%)
  • Epiphyte (34.03%)
  • Canopy (34.03%)

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

Ecology, Epiphyte, Canopy, Agroforestry and Forest floor are her primary areas of study. Her study on Cloud forest, Biodiversity, Forest ecology and Habitat is often connected to Seed dispersal as part of broader study in Ecology. Her Cloud forest study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Nutrient, Ecosystem, Precipitation and Water cycle.

Nalini M. Nadkarni interconnects Biomass, Temperate rainforest, Forestry and Community composition in the investigation of issues within Epiphyte. Her biological study focuses on Tree canopy. Her studies in Agroforestry integrate themes in fields like Fragmentation, Climate change, Pasture and Environmental resource management.

Between 2011 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Life in the treetops: ecophysiological strategies of canopy epiphytes in a tropical montane cloud forest (44 citations)
  • Forest Canopies, Plant Diversity (35 citations)
  • Response of non-vascular epiphytes to simulated climate change in a montane moist evergreen broad-leaved forest in southwest China (34 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Botany

Her primary areas of study are Cloud forest, Epiphyte, Ecology, Ecosystem and Agroforestry. Her work deals with themes such as Forest floor, Secondary forest and Intact forest landscape, which intersect with Cloud forest. Her work carried out in the field of Epiphyte brings together such families of science as Soil science and Canopy.

Her Canopy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Plant litter, Biodiversity, Bulk density and Drought tolerance. Her Ecosystem study combines topics in areas such as Biomass and Microclimate. Her work is dedicated to discovering how Agroforestry, Forest ecology are connected with Evergreen, Old-growth forest, Global warming and Climate change and other disciplines.
