What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Statistics
- Climate change
His primary areas of study are Ecology, Climate change, Species distribution, Biodiversity and Range. Ecology is a component of his Ecological niche, Environmental niche modelling, Ecosystem, Land use and Competition studies. His Environmental niche modelling research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ecology and Ecoinformatics.
His research in Climate change intersects with topics in Forest management, Physical geography and Water cycle. His studies in Species distribution integrate themes in fields like Niche, Seed dispersal, Realized niche width, Global biodiversity and Community structure. His Range research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Climatology, Habitat destruction, Habitat, Generalized additive model and Environmental change.
His most cited work include:
- Novel methods improve prediction of species' distributions from occurrence data (5714 citations)
- Predictive habitat distribution models in ecology (5256 citations)
- Predicting global change impacts on plant species' distributions: Future challenges (883 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Climate change, Species distribution, Biodiversity and Range. His Ecology study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Biological dispersal. As a part of the same scientific study, Niklaus E. Zimmermann usually deals with the Climate change, concentrating on Climatology and frequently concerns with Precipitation.
Niklaus E. Zimmermann combines subjects such as Environmental niche modelling and Realized niche width with his study of Species distribution. His Biodiversity study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Environmental change and Environmental resource management. His Species richness study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Species diversity.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (52.56%)
- Climate change (28.53%)
- Species distribution (18.59%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Ecology (52.56%)
- Climate change (28.53%)
- Biodiversity (16.99%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Niklaus E. Zimmermann mostly deals with Ecology, Climate change, Biodiversity, Species richness and Species distribution. His study brings together the fields of Biological dispersal and Ecology. His Climate change study combines topics in areas such as Climatology, Environmental niche modelling, Regeneration, Elevation and Physical geography.
As a member of one scientific family, Niklaus E. Zimmermann mostly works in the field of Biodiversity, focusing on Species diversity and, on occasion, Archipelago and Insular biogeography. His Species richness study also includes fields such as
- Phytoplankton which connect with Oceanography,
- Productivity and related Effects of global warming on oceans, Steppe, Environmental change and Grassland,
- Generalized additive model and related Context, Contrast, Statistical model and Artificial intelligence. His study in Species distribution is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sampling bias, Representative Concentration Pathways, Raster graphics and Global change.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Present and future Köppen-Geiger climate classification maps at 1-km resolution (576 citations)
- Accelerated increase in plant species richness on mountain summits is linked to warming (244 citations)
- Accelerated increase in plant species richness on mountain summits is linked to warming (244 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Statistics
- Ecosystem
His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Biodiversity, Species distribution, Climate change and Range. His study on Ecology is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Workflow. His Biodiversity study which covers Ecosystem that intersects with Macroecology and Species diversity.
He usually deals with Species distribution and limits it to topics linked to Global change and Endangered species, Near-threatened species, Threatened species and Wildlife conservation. His work in the fields of Climate model overlaps with other areas such as Baseline. Niklaus E. Zimmermann focuses mostly in the field of Range, narrowing it down to matters related to Biological dispersal and, in some cases, Environmental resource management, Representative Concentration Pathways and Nutrient.
