What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Biodiversity
His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Rainforest, Plant litter, Tropics and Species richness.
Ecology and STREAMS are commonly linked in his work.
His study looks at the relationship between Rainforest and topics such as Species diversity, which overlap with Nutrient and Agronomy.
His work focuses on many connections between Plant litter and other disciplines, such as Litter, that overlap with his field of interest in Alnus glutinosa, Freshwater ecosystem, Alder, Abiotic component and Horticulture.
His Species richness study incorporates themes from Spatial ecology, Endemism and Habitat.
His study on Decomposer is often connected to Carbon sequestration as part of broader study in Ecosystem.
His most cited work include:
- Riparian plant litter quality increases with latitude. (1037 citations)
- Averting biodiversity collapse in tropical forest protected areas (662 citations)
- A global experiment suggests climate warming will not accelerate litter decomposition in streams but might reduce carbon sequestration (197 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of study are Ecology, Habitat, Species richness, Ecosystem and Plant litter.
He usually deals with Ecology and limits it to topics linked to STREAMS and Dry season.
His research integrates issues of Drainage basin, Range, Vegetation and Water quality in his study of Habitat.
Richard G. Pearson has researched Species richness in several fields, including Riparian zone and Species diversity.
His work in the fields of Ecosystem, such as Decomposer, intersects with other areas such as Tadpole.
His work carried out in the field of Plant litter brings together such families of science as Abundance, Litter and Trophic level, Food web, Detritivore.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (78.77%)
- Habitat (28.08%)
- Species richness (23.97%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?
- Ecology (78.77%)
- Ecosystem (23.29%)
- Habitat (28.08%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Richard G. Pearson mainly investigates Ecology, Ecosystem, Habitat, STREAMS and Invertebrate.
His study in Plant litter, Riparian zone, Species richness, Biodiversity and Tropics is done as part of Ecology.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Trophic level and Litter in addition to Plant litter.
His study in the field of Marine ecosystem and Food web is also linked to topics like Ecosystem health and Tadpole.
His Habitat study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Drainage basin and Range.
His Invertebrate study combines topics in areas such as Taxon and Fauna.
Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Riparian plant litter quality increases with latitude. (1037 citations)
- Biotic and abiotic variables influencing plant litter breakdown in streams: a global study. (124 citations)
- Ecosystem health of the Great Barrier Reef: Time for effective management action based on evidence (48 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Biodiversity
Richard G. Pearson mainly focuses on Ecology, Ecosystem, Riparian zone, Biodiversity and Plant litter.
His research in Ecology intersects with topics in Biological dispersal and Sooty grunter.
His Ecosystem research includes elements of Dry season and Climate change.
His Riparian zone research incorporates elements of Floodplain and STREAMS.
His research investigates the connection between Biodiversity and topics such as Species richness that intersect with issues in Wetland, Nursery habitat, Species diversity, Niche differentiation and Interspecific competition.
His studies in Plant litter integrate themes in fields like Detritivore and Litter.
