Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Climate change

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Climate change, Tundra, Vegetation and Vegetation. His study of Arctic is a part of Ecology. His work in the fields of Environmental change overlaps with other areas such as Process modeling.

His Tundra research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Boreal, Evergreen forest, Biome and Taiga. His Vegetation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Deforestation, Tropics, Environmental resource management and Disturbance. In his work, Growing season is strongly intertwined with Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, which is a subfield of Productivity.

His most cited work include:

  • Estimated carbon dioxide emissions from tropical deforestation improved by carbon-density maps (978 citations)
  • Improved monitoring of vegetation dynamics at very high latitudes: A new method using MODIS NDVI (556 citations)
  • Shifts in Arctic vegetation and associated feedbacks under climate change (403 citations)

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

Pieter S. A. Beck mainly focuses on Ecology, Vegetation, Climate change, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and Climatology. His Vegetation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Canopy, Hyperspectral imaging, Remote sensing and Ecology. His study in Climate change is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Environmental resource management, Woodland and Evapotranspiration.

His Normalized Difference Vegetation Index research includes elements of Meteorology and Phenology. He has researched Climatology in several fields, including Productivity, Arctic, Growing season and Taiga. His Tundra research incorporates elements of Global warming, Plant community and Biome.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (34.67%)
  • Vegetation (30.67%)
  • Climate change (21.33%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Xylella fastidiosa (12.00%)
  • Remote sensing (16.00%)
  • Hyperspectral imaging (9.33%)

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

Pieter S. A. Beck mainly investigates Xylella fastidiosa, Remote sensing, Hyperspectral imaging, Vegetation and Global warming. His Imaging spectroscopy study, which is part of a larger body of work in Remote sensing, is frequently linked to Disease severity, Time series and On board, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work carried out in the field of Vegetation brings together such families of science as Greening, Ecology, Arctic, Environmental resource management and Arctic vegetation.

His Global warming research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Tundra, Interspecific competition, Macroecology, Biome and Plant community. His Tundra study is concerned with the larger field of Ecology. His work in the fields of Ecology, such as Theoretical ecology, intersects with other areas such as Trait.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Complexity revealed in the greening of the Arctic (89 citations)
  • Monitoring the incidence of Xylella fastidiosa infection in olive orchards using ground-based evaluations, airborne imaging spectroscopy and Sentinel-2 time series through 3-D radiative transfer modelling (19 citations)
  • Detection of Xylella fastidiosa infection symptoms with airborne multispectral and thermal imagery: Assessing bandset reduction performance from hyperspectral analysis (15 citations)
