What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
His primary areas of study are Ecology, Ecosystem, Vegetation, Climax and Plant ecology.
In his works, he performs multidisciplinary study on Ecology and Species complex.
In his research on the topic of Ecosystem, Pinus rigida, Root system and Canopy is strongly related with Biomass.
His Climax study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Diameter at breast height, Climax community, Basal area, Productivity and Primary production.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Vegetation types, Ecology and Additive partitioning in addition to Plant ecology.
His study in Vegetation types is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both β diversity and Gamma diversity.
His most cited work include:
- Evolution and measurement of species diversity (3511 citations)
- Vegetation of the Siskiyou Mountains, Oregon and California (2577 citations)
- Communities and ecosystems (2166 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Ecology, Ordination, Ecology, Plant community and Vegetation are his primary areas of study.
His study in Ecology concentrates on Ecosystem, Climax, Biomass, Gradient analysis and Species diversity.
His Species diversity study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Shrubland and Species richness.
His Ordination research includes elements of Multivariate statistics, Similarity and Principal component analysis.
His Ecology research includes themes of Plant ecology, Vegetation and Phytosociology.
He works mostly in the field of Alpha diversity, limiting it down to concerns involving Beta diversity and, occasionally, β diversity.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (62.11%)
- Ordination (18.95%)
- Ecology (14.74%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1974-2016)?
- Ecology (62.11%)
- Ordination (18.95%)
- Plant community (12.63%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Robert H. Whittaker mainly focuses on Ecology, Ordination, Plant community, Multivariate statistics and Biosphere.
His study in Species richness, Niche, Quadrat, Ecological succession and Climax is carried out as part of his Ecology studies.
Robert H. Whittaker studied Species richness and Species diversity that intersect with Shrubland and Agroforestry.
His studies deal with areas such as Gradient analysis, Similarity, Principal component analysis and Data mining as well as Ordination.
Robert H. Whittaker incorporates Plant community and Vegetation in his research.
His work deals with themes such as Primary productivity, Ecosystem, Fossil fuel and Air pollution, which intersect with Biosphere.
Between 1974 and 2016, his most popular works were:
- Primary productivity of the biosphere (872 citations)
- Communities and ecosystems (783 citations)
- EVOLUTION OF SPECIES DIVERSITY IN LAND COMMUNITIES. (626 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Biosphere, Ecosystem, Species diversity and Species richness.
Robert H. Whittaker frequently studies issues relating to Plant physiology and Ecology.
Robert H. Whittaker has included themes like Primary productivity, Air pollution and Environmental resource management in his Biosphere study.
His work investigates the relationship between Ecosystem and topics such as Environmental protection that intersect with problems in Biota.
His study in the field of Alpha diversity also crosses realms of Species complex.
His research integrates issues of Shrubland, Agroforestry, Deserts and xeric shrublands, Mediterranean climate and Woodland in his study of Species richness.
