Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • Ecosystem

Raman Sukumar focuses on Ecology, Biodiversity, Species diversity, Ecology and Tropical climate. His study in Species richness, Asian elephant, Elephas, Ecosystem and Biomass is carried out as part of his studies in Ecology. The Elephas study which covers Captive elephants that intersects with Foraging.

His Biodiversity study combines topics in areas such as Agroforestry, Environmental change and Global change. His Species diversity research includes elements of Rainforest, Rare species, Tropics and Relative abundance distribution. His studies deal with areas such as Global biodiversity and Statistics, Power law as well as Ecology.

His most cited work include:

  • Spatial Patterns in the Distribution of Tropical Tree Species (905 citations)
  • Averting biodiversity collapse in tropical forest protected areas (662 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 primary areas of study are Ecology, Asian elephant, Elephas, Biodiversity and Climate change. His research brings together the fields of Biological dispersal and Ecology. His studies in Asian elephant integrate themes in fields like Poaching, Dry season, Ecology and Wet season.

His Elephas study combines topics in areas such as Captive elephants, Microsatellite, Endangered species and Project Elephant. His Biodiversity research includes themes of Species richness, Fire regime and Environmental protection. His study in Climate change is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Vegetation, Forest ecology, Forest dynamics and Physical geography.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (56.33%)
  • Asian elephant (28.48%)
  • Elephas (23.42%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Ecology (56.33%)
  • Elephas (23.42%)
  • Ecosystem (10.76%)

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

Raman Sukumar mainly investigates Ecology, Elephas, Ecosystem, Agronomy and Climate change. Ecology and Latitude are two areas of study in which Raman Sukumar engages in interdisciplinary work. His Ecosystem research incorporates themes from Abundance and Archipelago.

He has researched Agronomy in several fields, including Soil water, Nutrient, Decomposer and Habitat. His research in Climate change intersects with topics in Abies pindrow, Environmental resource management, Forest dynamics, Vegetation and Physical geography. His Deciduous research focuses on Agroforestry and how it connects with Asian elephant.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global importance of large‐diameter trees (138 citations)
  • Phylogenetic classification of the world's tropical forests (86 citations)
  • The roots of the drought: Hydrology and water uptake strategies mediate forest-wide demographic response to precipitation (22 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • Ecosystem

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Agronomy, Habitat, Subtropics and Common species. Raman Sukumar conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Ecology and Stegolophodon through his works. His Agronomy study also includes

  • Soil water that intertwine with fields like Fungus, Woodland and Tropics,
  • Decomposer that intertwine with fields like Topsoil, Soil organic matter, Organic matter and Foraging.

The various areas that Raman Sukumar examines in his Habitat study include Crop and Free ranging. His Subtropics study incorporates themes from Floristics, Environmental change and Forest structure. Raman Sukumar interconnects Climate change, Ecological niche, Hydrology and Temporal scales in the investigation of issues within Common species.
