Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Pascal Vittoz focuses on Ecology, Climate change, Species distribution, Biodiversity and Range. His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biological dispersal and Altitude. His work deals with themes such as Ecological niche and Realized niche width, which intersect with Climate change.

In his research on the topic of Species distribution, Empetrum nigrum, Competition and Abiotic component is strongly related with Spatial ecology. His research integrates issues of Habitat and Global change in his study of Biodiversity. The various areas that Pascal Vittoz examines in his Range study include Habitat destruction and Conservation biology.

His most cited work include:

  • Continent-wide response of mountain vegetation to climate change (642 citations)
  • Ecological assembly rules in plant communities--approaches, patterns and prospects. (520 citations)
  • Recent Plant Diversity Changes on Europe’s Mountain Summits (509 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Climate change, Vegetation, Plant community and Species richness. His study ties his expertise on Biological dispersal together with the subject of Ecology. His research integrates issues of Biodiversity, Macroecology, Freshwater ecosystem and Extinction in his study of Climate change.

His Vegetation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Physical geography and Plot. Pascal Vittoz combines subjects such as Plant ecology, Herbivore, Grassland and Abiotic component with his study of Plant community. His research investigates the link between Species richness and topics such as Ecosystem that cross with problems in Ecological succession and Abundance.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (61.90%)
  • Climate change (26.67%)
  • Vegetation (26.67%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Ecology (61.90%)
  • Vegetation (26.67%)
  • Climate change (26.67%)

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

Pascal Vittoz mainly investigates Ecology, Vegetation, Climate change, Plant community and Soil water. His Ecology study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Linear model. His study looks at the relationship between Vegetation and topics such as Physical geography, which overlap with Species richness, Plant ecology, Growing season, Vascular plant and Plant cover.

His study in Climate change focuses on Global warming in particular. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Plant community, Subplot and Mopane is strongly linked to Habitat. He has included themes like Nardus stricta, Competition and Abiotic component in his Soil water study.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Accelerated increase in plant species richness on mountain summits is linked to warming (244 citations)
  • Early stage litter decomposition across biomes (83 citations)
  • Assessment of climate change effects on mountain ecosystems through a cross-site analysis in the Alps and Apennines. (62 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Habitat

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Climate change, Ecology, Biome, Vegetation and Global warming. His Climate change study incorporates themes from Decomposition, Ecosystem and Litter. His study in Generalist and specialist species, Range, Niche, Realized niche width and Ecological niche is carried out as part of his studies in Ecology.

The Biome study combines topics in areas such as Global and Planetary Change, Radiative forcing, Microclimate, Terrestrial ecosystem and Stage. His work on Plant community as part of general Vegetation research is frequently linked to Spatial database, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biodiversity, Species richness, Macroecology, Species distribution and Global change.
