Peter M. Vitousek spends much of his time researching Ecology, Ecosystem, Nutrient, Nitrogen cycle and Terrestrial ecosystem.
His Nitrogen fixation research extends to Ecology, which is thematically connected.
His study on Primary production is often connected to Context as part of broader study in Ecosystem.
The Nutrient study combines topics in areas such as Soil water, Chronosequence, Productivity, Agronomy and Acid phosphatase.
Peter M. Vitousek interconnects Nitrification, Phosphorus metabolism, Mineralization, Cycling and Nitrate in the investigation of issues within Nitrogen cycle.
He has researched Terrestrial ecosystem in several fields, including Fixation, Marine ecosystem, Herbivore and Biogeochemistry.
His most cited work include:
- Human Domination of Earth's Ecosystems (6960 citations)
- HUMAN ALTERATION OF THE GLOBAL NITROGEN CYCLE: SOURCES AND CONSEQUENCES (4555 citations)
- Consequences of changing biodiversity (3081 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Ecosystem, Nutrient, Soil water and Agronomy.
His research in Ecology intersects with topics in Nitrification and Nitrogen cycle.
His Ecosystem study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Biomass, Atmospheric sciences and Biogeochemistry.
