Nicholas S. G. Williams

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Ecology
• Biodiversity
• Ecosystem

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Vegetation, Biodiversity, Urbanization and Habitat destruction. His research on Ecology frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Environmental planning. His Vegetation study incorporates themes from Extinction debt, Extinction and Conservation biology.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Urban ecology and Native plant in addition to Biodiversity. Nicholas S.G. Williams combines subjects such as Taxon, Poa annua, Global biodiversity, Biota and Introduced species with his study of Urbanization. His study in Habitat destruction is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Plant community and Sustainability, Sustainable management.

His most cited work include:

• A global analysis of the impacts of urbanization on bird and plant diversity reveals key anthropogenic drivers (645 citations)
• Assessing functional diversity in the field - methodology matters! (460 citations)
• Planning for Cooler Cities : A Framework to Prioritise Green Infrastructure to Mitigate High Temperatures in Urban Landscapes (406 citations)

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

Nicholas S.G. Williams mostly deals with Ecology, Vegetation, Biodiversity, Green roof and Urbanization. Ecology connects with themes related to Extinction in his study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Conservation biology and Urban area.

His Vegetation research includes themes of Canopy, Grassland, Preference and Ecosystem services. He focuses mostly in the field of Biodiversity, narrowing it down to topics relating to Urban ecology and, in certain cases, Novel ecosystem and Generalist and specialist species. His Urbanization research focuses on subjects like Ecology, which are linked to Agroforestry.

He most often published in these fields:

• Ecology (78.36%)
• Vegetation (41.04%)
• Biodiversity (29.10%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

• Green roof (19.40%)
• Ecology (78.36%)
• Environmental planning (15.67%)

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

His primary areas of study are Green roof, Ecology, Environmental planning, Biodiversity and Ecosystem services. Nicholas S.G. Williams combines topics linked to Early season with his work on Ecology. The concepts of his Biodiversity study are interwoven with issues in Urbanization, Threatened species, Extinction and Occupancy.

His Ecosystem services research includes elements of Urban design and Road verge. His Vegetation study combines topics in areas such as Greening and Climate change. His Habitat research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Introduced species and Native plant.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Increasing biodiversity in urban green spaces through simple vegetation interventions (89 citations)
• The phylogenetic and functional diversity of regional breeding bird assemblages is reduced and constricted through urbanization (45 citations)
• Correcting common misconceptions to inspire conservation action in urban environments. (32 citations)

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

• Ecology
• Biodiversity
• Ecosystem

Nicholas S.G. Williams mainly focuses on Urbanization, Biodiversity, Ecology, Ecosystem and Environmental planning. His Urbanization study incorporates themes from Reconciliation ecology, Measurement of biodiversity, Environmental resource management and Threatened species. The various areas that Nicholas S.G. Williams examines in his Biodiversity study include Introduced species, Wildlife conservation, Species richness and Occupancy.

Nicholas S.G. Williams integrates Ecology and Vegetation in his research. Nicholas S.G. Williams interconnects Plant community, Biological dispersal and Biota in the investigation of issues within Ecosystem. His Environmental planning research includes elements of Landscape architecture and Urban ecology.
