Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

His main research concerns Ecology, Biodiversity, Ecosystem, Habitat and Temperate forest. His work in the fields of Ecology, such as Herbivore, National park, Vegetation and Climate change, overlaps with other areas such as Precipitation. His Herbivore research incorporates themes from Landscape ecology, Canopy and Species diversity.

His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Agroforestry and Vegetation. In Ecosystem, Shaun R. Levick works on issues like Abiotic component, which are connected to Spatial ecology and Spatial heterogeneity. Lidar is closely connected to Remote sensing in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Habitat.

His most cited work include:

  • ESP: a tool to estimate scale parameter for multiresolution image segmentation of remotely sensed data (532 citations)
  • Large-scale impacts of herbivores on the structural diversity of African savannas (209 citations)
  • Carbon stock and density of northern boreal and temperate forests (162 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Vegetation, Canopy, Lidar and Remote sensing. His work on Biodiversity, National park, Herbivore and Temperate rainforest as part of general Ecology research is frequently linked to Spatial variability, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Vegetation research includes elements of Dry season, Ecosystem and Transect.

He has included themes like Climate change and Environmental resource management in his Ecosystem study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biomass, Atmospheric sciences, Fire ecology, Disturbance and Forestry. His study in the field of Remote sensing also crosses realms of Scale and Sampling.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (40.96%)
  • Vegetation (65.06%)
  • Canopy (60.24%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Lidar (32.53%)
  • Remote sensing (30.12%)
  • Vegetation (65.06%)

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

His primary areas of study are Lidar, Remote sensing, Vegetation, Ecology and Woodland. His research in Lidar tackles topics such as Canopy which are related to areas like Vegetation type. His Remote sensing study incorporates themes from Point cloud and Weed.

His Vegetation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biomass, Physical geography and Crown. With his scientific publications, his incorporates both Ecology and Terrestrial laser scanning. In his study, Biological dispersal is strongly linked to Biodiversity, which falls under the umbrella field of Temperate rainforest.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Terrestrial laser scanning in forest ecology: Expanding the horizon (13 citations)
  • Savanna vegetation structure in the Brazilian Cerrado allows for the accurate estimation of aboveground biomass using terrestrial laser scanning (8 citations)
  • Exploring the variability of tropical savanna tree structural allometry with terrestrial laser scanning (6 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

His primary scientific interests are in Vegetation, Remote sensing, Lidar, Canopy and Tree structure. His study brings together the fields of Biomass and Vegetation. His Biomass research includes themes of Tropical savanna climate, Physical geography, Crown and Allometry.

He undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Remote sensing and Scale through his works. His research integrates issues of Atmospheric sciences, Seasonality, Biome, Gallery forest and Woodland in his study of Lidar. The Canopy study combines topics in areas such as Vegetation type and Wet season.
