Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

Sean C. Thomas spends much of his time researching Ecology, Biomass, Tropical climate, Biodiversity and Allometry. His work in Old-growth forest, Competition, Species richness, Understory and Ecosystem are all subfields of Ecology research. The concepts of his Tropical climate study are interwoven with issues in Rainforest, Ecology, Forestry and Metabolic theory of ecology.

His Biodiversity study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Agroforestry, Tropics and Global change. His work in Tropics tackles topics such as Biome which are related to areas like Nutrient. His Nutrient research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Specific leaf area and Vegetation.

His most cited work include:

  • The worldwide leaf economics spectrum (4498 citations)
  • Increasing carbon storage in intact African tropical forests (746 citations)
  • Size variability and competition in plant monocultures (607 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Agronomy, Botany, Canopy and Biomass. His study involves Old-growth forest, Understory, Species diversity, Rainforest and Habitat, a branch of Ecology. His Species diversity study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Species richness and Vegetation.

The various areas that Sean C. Thomas examines in his Agronomy study include Soil water, Soil conditioner, Biochar, Ecosystem and Nutrient. His work in Canopy addresses subjects such as Leaf area index, which are connected to disciplines such as Growing season and Atmospheric sciences. He studied Biomass and Agroforestry that intersect with Biome and Tropics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (41.56%)
  • Agronomy (20.78%)
  • Botany (20.78%)

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

  • Biochar (12.34%)
  • Taiga (6.49%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (7.14%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biochar, Taiga, Atmospheric sciences, Ecology and Organic matter. His Biochar research includes themes of Environmental chemistry, Raw material, Nutrient and Radicle. In his research, Biomass is intimately related to Range, which falls under the overarching field of Nutrient.

His Atmospheric sciences research also works with subjects such as

  • Global warming that connect with fields like Hectare, Productivity and Tropics,
  • Tropical climate and related Carbon dioxide, Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere, Rainforest, Carbon sink and Forest ecology. His Ecology study frequently links to related topics such as Tree. His work in Organic matter covers topics such as Monoculture which are related to areas like Leucaena leucocephala, Leucaena, Biomass partitioning, Biomass and Agroforestry.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Asynchronous carbon sink saturation in African and Amazonian tropical forests (84 citations)
  • Long-term thermal sensitivity of Earth’s tropical forests (38 citations)
  • Linking resource availability and heterogeneity to understorey species diversity through succession in boreal forest of Canada (36 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

His main research concerns Vegetation, Species diversity, Biomass, Carbon sequestration and Composition. His study with Vegetation involves better knowledge in Ecology. His Species diversity research incorporates elements of Urban forestry and Socioeconomic status.

He has researched Biomass in several fields, including Productivity, Soil water, Trifolium repens, Nutrient and Revegetation. His work deals with themes such as Range, Agroforestry, Shade tree, Theobroma and Root system, which intersect with Nutrient. The Carbon sequestration study combines topics in areas such as Plant traits, Forestry, Carbon accounting and Ecosystem, Biome.
