Peter E. Thornton focuses on Atmospheric sciences, Carbon cycle, Ecology, Primary production and Climatology.
His Atmospheric sciences research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Atmospheric chemistry, Community Climate System Model, Deposition and Biogeochemistry.
His research in Carbon cycle intersects with topics in Climate model, Global warming, Nitrogen cycle, Carbon sink and Carbon dioxide.
His work on Ecosystem, Terrestrial ecosystem, Biome and Vegetation as part of general Ecology study is frequently linked to Latitude, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.
Peter E. Thornton has included themes like Carbon sequestration and Soil carbon in his Ecosystem study.
He has included themes like Climate change and Precipitation in his Climatology study.
His most cited work include:
- TRY - a global database of plant traits (1611 citations)
- Generating surfaces of daily meteorological variables over large regions of complex terrain (1052 citations)
- A continental phenology model for monitoring vegetation responses to interannual climatic variability (903 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Atmospheric sciences, Climatology, Ecosystem, Carbon cycle and Ecology are his primary areas of study.
The Atmospheric sciences study which covers Primary production that intersects with Eddy covariance.
His Climatology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Biosphere, Land use, Climate change, Climate model and Precipitation.
His work in Ecosystem covers topics such as Vegetation which are related to areas like Hydrology.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biogeochemical cycle, Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere, Carbon dioxide and Nitrogen cycle.
Soil carbon and Biome are the core of his Ecology study.
