What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Statistics
Paul J. Somerfield spends much of his time researching Ecology, Community structure, Biodiversity, Species richness and Multivariate statistics.
His Pyrosequencing research extends to Ecology, which is thematically connected.
His Community structure study incorporates themes from Estuary, Oceanography, Bay, Box corer and Meiobenthos.
Paul J. Somerfield focuses mostly in the field of Species richness, narrowing it down to topics relating to Trophic level and, in certain cases, Polychaete, Fauna, Spatial ecology, Microbial population biology and Alphaproteobacteria.
His studies deal with areas such as Multivariate analysis, Sample size determination and Cluster analysis as well as Multivariate statistics.
The concepts of his Abundance study are interwoven with issues in Biomass and Ecosystem.
His most cited work include:
- On resemblance measures for ecological studies, including taxonomic dissimilarities and a zero-adjusted Bray–Curtis coefficient for denuded assemblages (740 citations)
- Testing of null hypotheses in exploratory community analyses: similarity profiles and biota-environment linkage (653 citations)
- Defining seasonal marine microbial community dynamics (643 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Ecology, Oceanography, Benthic zone, Biodiversity and Community structure are his primary areas of study.
His research in Abundance, Meiobenthos, Ecosystem, Species richness and Species diversity are components of Ecology.
In his research, Botany is intimately related to Phytoplankton, which falls under the overarching field of Oceanography.
Paul J. Somerfield interconnects Taxon, Invertebrate, Fauna and Habitat in the investigation of issues within Benthic zone.
His Biodiversity study which covers Environmental resource management that intersects with Marine Strategy Framework Directive.
His work focuses on many connections between Community structure and other disciplines, such as Estuary, that overlap with his field of interest in Dredging and Intertidal zone.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (57.06%)
- Oceanography (20.90%)
- Benthic zone (20.34%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?
- Ecology (57.06%)
- Ecosystem (14.12%)
- Benthic zone (20.34%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Ecology, Ecosystem, Benthic zone, Oceanography and Environmental resource management.
His Biodiversity, Meiobenthos, Ocean acidification, Trawling and Species evenness study are his primary interests in Ecology.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Macrophyte, Abundance, Coral reef and Biota in addition to Ecosystem.
His Benthic zone study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Biomass, Range and Species diversity.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Euphausiacea, Species richness and Community structure.
He combines subjects such as Species distribution, Habitat, Ecosystem services and Marine Strategy Framework Directive, Good Environmental Status with his study of Environmental resource management.
Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Projecting changes in the distribution and productivity of living marine resources: A critical review of the suite of modelling approaches used in the large European project VECTORS (42 citations)
- Diverse effects of invasive ecosystem engineers on marine biodiversity and ecosystem functions: A global review and meta-analysis. (41 citations)
- Solutions for ecosystem-level protection of ocean systems under climate change. (37 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Statistics
His primary areas of study are Ecology, Environmental resource management, Ecosystem, Habitat and Biodiversity.
His is involved in several facets of Ecology study, as is seen by his studies on Ocean acidification, Benthic zone, Salt marsh, Detritus and Mediterranean climate.
The Environmental resource management study combines topics in areas such as Marine Strategy Framework Directive, Good Environmental Status and Ecosystem services.
As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Ecosystem, concentrating on Biota and intersecting with Ecosystem engineer, Abundance and Introduced species.
The various areas that Paul J. Somerfield examines in his Habitat study include Marine conservation, Climate change, Marine spatial planning and Ecosystem model.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Biodiversity, Sustainability and Environmental data is strongly linked to Marine ecosystem.
