Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Habitat

Peter Christiaan le Roux mainly focuses on Ecology, Climate change, Species richness, Range and Species distribution. His work on Cushion plant, Azorella selago and Environmental change is typically connected to Altitude and Experimental methods as part of general Ecology study, connecting several disciplines of science. His work on Effects of global warming and Mean radiant temperature as part of general Climate change research is frequently linked to Precipitation and Cloud cover, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His work deals with themes such as Niche, Alpine plant and Abundance, which intersect with Species richness. His studies in Range integrate themes in fields like Global warming, Competition and Reproductive success. His Species distribution study combines topics in areas such as Butterfly and Abiotic component.

His most cited work include:

  • Ecologically relevant measures of tolerance to potentially lethal temperatures. (291 citations)
  • TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (179 citations)
  • Rapid range expansion and community reorganization in response to warming (162 citations)

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

Ecology, Species richness, Abiotic component, Biodiversity and Plant community are his primary areas of study. Range, Abundance, Species distribution, Competition and Azorella selago are the primary areas of interest in his Ecology study. He combines subjects such as Lichen, Climate change, Ecosystem engineer and Biological dispersal with his study of Species richness.

Peter Christiaan le Roux interconnects Arctic–alpine, Vegetation, Habitat and Interspecific competition in the investigation of issues within Abiotic component. His Biodiversity research incorporates elements of Host and Generalist and specialist species. His Plant community research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Wind stress and Environmental niche modelling.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (101.37%)
  • Species richness (53.42%)
  • Abiotic component (30.14%)

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

  • Ecology (101.37%)
  • Species richness (53.42%)
  • Plant community (21.92%)

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

Peter Christiaan le Roux spends much of his time researching Ecology, Species richness, Plant community, Azorella selago and Cushion plant. His Ecology research focuses on Range, Tundra, Biodiversity and Ecological niche. The various areas that Peter Christiaan le Roux examines in his Species richness study include Biodiversity hotspot, Hydrology and Endemism.

His Plant community study also includes

  • Wind stress that intertwine with fields like Community composition and Vegetation cover,
  • Climate change, Arctic, Microclimate and Abiotic component most often made with reference to Ecosystem. His Azorella selago study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Intraspecific competition, Competition, Colobanthus kerguelensis and Interspecific competition. His Cushion plant research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Niche, Ecosystem engineer, Habitat, Realized niche width and Community structure.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (179 citations)
  • Invasive species differ in key functional traits from native and non‐invasive alien plant species (18 citations)
  • Spatial overlaps between the global protected areas network and terrestrial hotspots of evolutionary diversity (15 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Peter Christiaan le Roux mostly deals with Species richness, Ecology, Biodiversity, Zoology and Alien. His Species richness research includes elements of Range, Abundance, Indigenous, Extinction and Biological dispersal. His studies deal with areas such as Hydrology and Water content as well as Ecology.

His work on Biodiversity hotspot as part of general Biodiversity study is frequently linked to Phylogenetic diversity, Representativeness heuristic and Taxonomic rank, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His research integrates issues of Introduced species, Ecological niche and Invasive species in his study of Zoology.
