Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Climate change

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Climate change, Ecosystem, Atmospheric sciences and Vegetation. His study in Ecology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Emerging technologies and Kriging. His research investigates the connection with Climate change and areas like Soil science which intersect with concerns in Biogeochemistry, Hydrology and Peat.

His research on Ecosystem focuses in particular on Terrestrial ecosystem. His Atmospheric sciences research incorporates elements of Carbon dioxide, Carbon cycle, Carbon sink and Interception. In his work, Biomass, Ecological succession, Climate change scenario, Forest ecology and Amazon rainforest is strongly intertwined with Primary production, which is a subfield of Vegetation.

His most cited work include:

  • Consistent land- and atmosphere-based U.S. carbon sink estimates. (676 citations)
  • The home-range concept: are traditional estimators still relevant with modern telemetry technology? (343 citations)
  • Building the bridge between animal movement and population dynamics (332 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Ecosystem, Atmospheric sciences, Climate change and Vegetation. When carried out as part of a general Ecology research project, his work on Forest ecology, Spatial ecology, Ecology and Woody plant is frequently linked to work in Home range, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His studies deal with areas such as Biomass and Biosphere model as well as Ecosystem.

His Atmospheric sciences research includes elements of Eddy covariance, Canopy, Carbon flux, Carbon sink and Carbon dioxide. His Climate change research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil science, Climatology, Tropical climate, Amazon rainforest and Hydrology. His work carried out in the field of Vegetation brings together such families of science as Lidar, Remote sensing and Primary production.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (34.59%)
  • Ecosystem (30.83%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (24.06%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Atmospheric sciences (24.06%)
  • Home range (9.77%)
  • Capreolus (6.02%)

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

Paul R. Moorcroft mainly focuses on Atmospheric sciences, Home range, Capreolus, Ecosystem and Ecology. His Atmospheric sciences study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Eddy covariance, Vegetation canopy, Canopy, Amazon rainforest and Evapotranspiration. In his study, Sink, Cycling and Carbon sink is strongly linked to Biogeochemical cycle, which falls under the umbrella field of Eddy covariance.

His Amazon rainforest research includes themes of Climate change and Water resource management. His Ecosystem study frequently involves adjacent topics like Vegetation. His Carbon cycle research focuses on subjects like Biogeochemistry, which are linked to Plant functional type, Ecology, Earth system science and Biomass.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The biophysics, ecology, and biogeochemistry of functionally diverse, vertically and horizontally heterogeneous ecosystems: the Ecosystem Demography model, version 2.2 – Part 1: Model description (22 citations)
  • The biophysics, ecology, and biogeochemistry of functionally diverse, vertically and horizontally heterogeneous ecosystems: the Ecosystem Demography model, version 2.2 – Part 2: Model evaluation for tropical South America (14 citations)
  • Impacts of climate change and deforestation on hydropower planning in the Brazilian Amazon (12 citations)
