Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Ecology
Ecosystem
Biodiversity

Paul Leadley spends much of his time researching Biodiversity, Ecology, Ecosystem, Climate change and Global biodiversity. His Biodiversity research includes elements of Environmental resource management and Environmental planning. His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Environmental chemistry and Denitrifying bacteria.

Paul Leadley interconnects Physical geography, Tropics, Biogeochemical cycle and Land use, land-use change and forestry in the investigation of issues within Ecosystem. His Climate change study incorporates themes from Greenhouse gas, Southern Hemisphere, Aquatic ecosystem, Terrestrial ecosystem and Civil engineering. His research investigates the connection between Global biodiversity and topics such as Ecosystem services that intersect with problems in Knowledge-based systems.

His most cited work include:

Impacts of climate change on the future of biodiversity. (1838 citations)
TRY - a global database of plant traits (1611 citations)
Plant diversity and productivity experiments in european grasslands (1572 citations)

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

Ecology, Biodiversity, Ecosystem, Ecosystem services and Environmental resource management are his primary areas of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Climate change, Extinction and Environmental planning in addition to Biodiversity. His studies examine the connections between Climate change and genetics, as well as such issues in Biological dispersal, with regards to Range.

In his work, Microclimate is strongly intertwined with Vegetation, which is a subfield of Ecosystem. His research in Ecosystem services intersects with topics in Sustainability and Sustainable development. In his research on the topic of Environmental resource management, Representative Concentration Pathways is strongly related with Land use.

He most often published in these fields:

Ecology (35.20%)
Biodiversity (29.60%)
Ecosystem (20.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

Biodiversity (29.60%)
Ecosystem services (19.20%)
Environmental planning (10.40%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Biodiversity, Ecosystem services, Environmental planning, Environmental resource management and Futures contract. His Biodiversity research incorporates elements of Climate change and Representativeness heuristic. His Ecosystem services study combines topics in areas such as Indigenous and Ecology.

The concepts of his Ecology study are interwoven with issues in Functional ecology, Data integration, Identification and Ecosystem model. His studies in Global biodiversity integrate themes in fields like Global warming, Weather station, Biological dispersal and Climate sensitivity. Ecosystem is a primary field of his research addressed under Ecology.

Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:

Assessing nature's contributions to people (706 citations)
Improving the forecast for biodiversity under climate change (456 citations)
TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (179 citations)
