What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
Her primary areas of study are Biological dispersal, Ecology, Biodiversity, Plant community and Soil seed bank.
Her Biological dispersal research includes elements of Species richness and Functional ecology.
In her study, Flora is strongly linked to Life history theory, which falls under the umbrella field of Biodiversity.
She has researched Soil seed bank in several fields, including Seed dispersal, Woodland and Habitat.
Her work carried out in the field of Habitat brings together such families of science as Taxon and Forestry.
In her work, Ecological succession, Soil water and Soil biology is strongly intertwined with Agronomy, which is a subfield of Vegetation.
Her most cited work include:
- TRY - a global database of plant traits (1611 citations)
- The LEDA Traitbase: a database of life-history traits of the Northwest European flora (1025 citations)
- The LEDA Traitbase: a database of life-history traits of the Northwest European flora (1025 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Ecology, Biological dispersal, Soil seed bank, Agronomy and Seed dispersal are her primary areas of study.
Plant community, Habitat, Biodiversity, Vegetation and Species richness are among the areas of Ecology where Renée M. Bekker concentrates her study.
Her work on Functional ecology expands to the thematically related Biodiversity.
Her study on Biological dispersal also encompasses disciplines like
- Life history theory that intertwine with fields like Flora,
- Range, which have a strong connection to Restoration ecology.
Her research integrates issues of Woodland, Grassland and Chronosequence in her study of Soil seed bank.
Her Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Ecological succession and Botany.
She most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (57.53%)
- Biological dispersal (30.14%)
- Soil seed bank (23.29%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2013-2021)?
- Ecology (57.53%)
- Ecology (6.85%)
- Trait (13.70%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Renée M. Bekker spends much of her time researching Ecology, Ecology, Trait, Biodiversity and Environmental resource management.
Her study in Plant community and Soil seed bank is carried out as part of her studies in Ecology.
Her Ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Dormancy, Germination and Botany.
Trait is connected with Stabilizing selection, Vascular plant, Molecular evolution, Herbaceous plant and Woody plant in her research.
Her Biodiversity research includes themes of Species richness, Land use, land-use change and forestry, Habitat and Ecosystem.
Her Environmental resource management study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Agriculture.
Between 2013 and 2021, her most popular works were:
- TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (179 citations)
- An evolutionary perspective on leaf economics: phylogenetics of leaf mass per area in vascular plants. (28 citations)
- Digital atlas of traditional agricultural practices and food processing (6 citations)
