1962 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Botany

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Ecosystem, Chronosequence, Species richness and Biological dispersal. His study on Woody plant, Beech and Nothofagus is often connected to Pollination as part of broader study in Ecology. His Ecosystem research integrates issues from Plant community, Biodiversity and Regeneration.

As a part of the same scientific family, Robert B. Allen mostly works in the field of Chronosequence, focusing on Soil fertility and, on occasion, Temperate rainforest, Arbol and Litter. His research in Species richness focuses on subjects like Community structure, which are connected to Range, Hieracium, Assembly rules, Priority effect and Decomposer. The study incorporates disciplines such as Habitat, Fern, Forest floor, Dominance and Podocarpaceae in addition to Microsite.

His most cited work include:

  • Assembly history dictates ecosystem functioning: evidence from wood decomposer communities. (386 citations)
  • Rapid development of phosphorus limitation in temperate rainforest along the Franz Josef soil chronosequence (293 citations)
  • Effects of size, competition and altitude on tree growth (260 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Nothofagus, Beech, Botany and Ecosystem. Woody plant, Introduced species, Basal area, Biodiversity and Forest ecology are subfields of Ecology in which his conducts study. His Nothofagus research incorporates elements of Shrub, Biomass, Forestry and Fagaceae.

His work deals with themes such as Windthrow, Thinning, Agronomy and Stand development, which intersect with Beech. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Forest floor, Soil water, Dominance and Litter. His study in Ecosystem is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Invasive species, Species richness and Understory.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (65.71%)
  • Nothofagus (24.76%)
  • Beech (22.86%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Ecology (65.71%)
  • Environmental resource management (6.67%)
  • Biodiversity (12.38%)

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

Ecology, Environmental resource management, Biodiversity, Beech and Scale are his primary areas of study. In his papers, Robert B. Allen integrates diverse fields, such as Ecology and Context. His Environmental resource management research includes themes of Nutrient cycle and Seeding.

His Biodiversity study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Afforestation, Spatial planning and Greenhouse gas. His work carried out in the field of Beech brings together such families of science as Taxon and Introduced species. His Rainforest research includes elements of Canopy and Felling.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Priority effects are interactively regulated by top‐down and bottom‐up forces: evidence from wood decomposer communities (25 citations)
  • Trajectory analysis in community ecology (18 citations)
  • A Resource Centric View of Climate and Mast Seeding in Trees (15 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Botany

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Environmental resource management, Beech, Taylor's law and Service. His study in Decomposer, Species diversity, Folsomia candida, Community structure and Grazing are all subfields of Ecology. His Environmental resource management study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Nutrient cycle and Seeding.
