What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
Peter J. Grubb spends much of his time researching Ecology, Rainforest, Physiognomy, Montane ecology and Interspecific competition.
His study involves Competition, Plant ecology, Functional group, Vegetation type and Soil fertility, a branch of Ecology.
His research in Rainforest intersects with topics in Dry weight and Leaf area index.
His Montane ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Agroforestry, Temperate rainforest, Tropics and Physical geography.
His studies in Interspecific competition integrate themes in fields like Species richness, Plant community, Intraspecific competition and Habitat.
His Intraspecific competition study incorporates themes from Spatial heterogeneity, Regeneration and Guild.
His most cited work include:
- THE MAINTENANCE OF SPECIES-RICHNESS IN PLANT COMMUNITIES: THE IMPORTANCE OF THE REGENERATION NICHE (3510 citations)
- Control of Forest Growth and Distribution on Wet Tropical Mountains: with Special Reference to Mineral Nutrition (543 citations)
- IMPACTS OF ROOT COMPETITION IN FORESTS AND WOODLANDS: A THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK AND REVIEW OF EXPERIMENTS (536 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Ecology, Rainforest, Interspecific competition and Plant ecology.
His work on Dry weight, Shrub and Specific leaf area as part of general Botany research is frequently linked to Relative growth rate, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.
His Habitat, Carlina vulgaris, Species richness and Competition study in the realm of Ecology connects with subjects such as Physiognomy.
The various areas that Peter J. Grubb examines in his Species richness study include Niche and Regeneration.
His work carried out in the field of Rainforest brings together such families of science as Montane ecology, Agroforestry, Temperate rainforest, Tropics and Shade tolerance.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Intraspecific competition and Guild.
He most often published in these fields:
- Botany (47.50%)
- Ecology (38.75%)
- Rainforest (38.75%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2004-2020)?
- Rainforest (38.75%)
- Botany (47.50%)
- Ecology (38.75%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Rainforest, Botany, Ecology, Herbivore and Forestry.
His Rainforest study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Plant ecology and Temperate climate.
His study in the field of Dry weight and Vegetation types also crosses realms of Statement and Marl.
His work in the fields of Ecology, such as Soil seed bank, Canopy and Interspecific competition, overlaps with other areas such as Type.
In his work, Temperate rainforest is strongly intertwined with Habitat, which is a subfield of Canopy.
The concepts of his Forestry study are interwoven with issues in Montane ecology, Grazing and Agroforestry.
Between 2004 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Seed dormancy and delayed flowering in monocarpic plants: selective interactions in a stochastic environment. (72 citations)
- Evolution of flowering decisions in a stochastic, density-dependent environment (47 citations)
- Trade-offs in interspecific comparisons in plant ecology and how plants overcome proposed constraints (47 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Peter J. Grubb mainly focuses on Ecology, Rainforest, Panama, Expansion phase and Herbivore.
Peter J. Grubb is interested in Interspecific competition, which is a field of Ecology.
When carried out as part of a general Rainforest research project, his work on Tropical rain forest is frequently linked to work in Mature stage, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
