Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • Ecosystem

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Species diversity, Species richness, Rainforest and Tropics. His work on Ecology deals in particular with Ecosystem, Tropical climate, Ecology, Biodiversity and Nutrient. His Species diversity research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Range, Abundance and Shade tolerance.

As part of one scientific family, Peter S. Ashton deals mainly with the area of Abundance, narrowing it down to issues related to the Community structure, and often Physical geography. His Rainforest research includes elements of Rare species, Site tree, Deciduous, Evergreen forest and Dipterocarpaceae. His Tropics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Satellite imagery, Climate change, Mean squared error, Forest inventory and Spatial ecology.

His most cited work include:

  • Spatial Patterns in the Distribution of Tropical Tree Species (905 citations)
  • Staggered flowering in the Dipterocarpaceae: new insights into floral induction and the evolution of mast fruiting in the aseasonal tropics (519 citations)
  • SPECIES-AREA AND SPECIES-INDIVIDUAL RELATIONSHIPS FOR TROPICAL TREES : A COMPARISON OF THREE 50-HA PLOTS (415 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Agroforestry, Dipterocarpaceae, Biodiversity and Species diversity. His study in Rainforest, Species richness, Habitat, Tropical climate and Ecosystem are all subfields of Ecology. His work deals with themes such as Shorea, Forestry and Dryobalanops lanceolata, which intersect with Dipterocarpaceae.

Peter S. Ashton has included themes like Tropics and Biome in his Biodiversity study. His work in Tropics tackles topics such as Climate change which are related to areas like Remote sensing, Mean squared error, Satellite imagery and Forest inventory. His study explores the link between Species diversity and topics such as Abundance that cross with problems in Diameter at breast height.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (58.33%)
  • Agroforestry (18.33%)
  • Dipterocarpaceae (17.50%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Tropics (13.33%)
  • Biomass (7.50%)
  • Agroforestry (18.33%)

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

His primary areas of study are Tropics, Biomass, Agroforestry, Tropical forest and Ecosystem. His study on Tropics also encompasses disciplines like

  • Climate change together with Satellite imagery, Mean squared error, Physical geography, Spatial ecology and Remote sensing,
  • Productivity together with Carbon cycle. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biodiversity, Habitat, Tropical rain forest, Forest ecology and Biome.

Ecology covers he research in Biodiversity. His work in Ecology is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Elevation. His studies in Ecosystem integrate themes in fields like Environmental resource management, Forest dynamics, Earth system science and Amazon rainforest.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • An integrated pan‐tropical biomass map using multiple reference datasets (300 citations)
  • An integrated pan‐tropical biomass map using multiple reference datasets (300 citations)
  • Diversity and carbon storage across the tropical forest biome (142 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • Ecosystem

Peter S. Ashton mainly focuses on Tropics, Forest inventory, Climate change, Biomass and Mean squared error. Tropics is a subfield of Ecology that Peter S. Ashton investigates. His studies deal with areas such as Sampling, Statistics, Sample size determination and Allometry as well as Forest inventory.

His study in Biomass is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Tropical climate, Sample, Biome and Alpha diversity. His work carried out in the field of Tropical climate brings together such families of science as Productivity, Carbon cycle, Global warming and Atmospheric sciences. The concepts of his Mean squared error study are interwoven with issues in Spatial ecology, Satellite imagery, Remote sensing and Physical geography.
