Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Ecology, Biomass, Tropical climate, Amazon rainforest and Ecosystem are his primary areas of study. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Forestry and Ecology. His work in the fields of Biomass, such as Tree allometry, overlaps with other areas such as Hectare.

His Tropical climate study incorporates themes from Biodiversity and Climate change. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Ecosystem, Global change is strongly linked to Environmental change. His research integrates issues of Rainforest, Carbon dioxide and Carbon sequestration in his study of Carbon sink.

His most cited work include:

  • A Large and Persistent Carbon Sink in the World’s Forests (3463 citations)
  • Towards a worldwide wood economics spectrum (1631 citations)
  • TRY - a global database of plant traits (1611 citations)

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

Simon L. Lewis mainly investigates Ecology, Biomass, Ecosystem, Rainforest and Biodiversity. His research related to Tropical climate, Amazon rainforest, Climate change, Tropics and Basal area might be considered part of Ecology. His study on Tree allometry is often connected to Hectare as part of broader study in Biomass.

He has researched Ecosystem in several fields, including Peat, Climate change mitigation, Soil carbon and Forest inventory. His Rainforest research includes elements of Old-growth forest, Abundance and Soil fertility. His studies in Biodiversity integrate themes in fields like Agroforestry, Secondary forest, Canopy, Species richness and Forest ecology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (87.85%)
  • Biomass (48.96%)
  • Ecosystem (40.62%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Ecology (87.85%)
  • Climate change (31.25%)
  • Tropics (32.29%)

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

Simon L. Lewis spends much of his time researching Ecology, Climate change, Tropics, Biomass and Ecosystem. His Amazon rainforest, Tropical rainforest, Relative species abundance, Dry season and Biome investigations are all subjects of Ecology research. Simon L. Lewis combines subjects such as Biodiversity, Natural forest, Amazonian, Tropical forest and Carbon cycle with his study of Climate change.

Simon L. Lewis has included themes like Tropical climate, Atmospheric sciences, Vegetation and Earth system science in his Carbon cycle study. His work deals with themes such as Subtropics, Climate change mitigation and Forest ecology, which intersect with Biomass. His study looks at the relationship between Ecosystem and fields such as Abundance, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (179 citations)
  • TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (179 citations)
  • Restoring natural forests is the best way to remove atmospheric carbon (161 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • Ecosystem

His scientific interests lie mostly in Climate change, Ecology, Biodiversity, Tropics and Rainforest. The various areas that Simon L. Lewis examines in his Climate change study include Natural forest, Atmospheric carbon cycle and Environmental resource management. His study in Amazon rainforest, Ecosystem, Biome and Community structure are all subfields of Ecology.

His research in Biodiversity intersects with topics in Ecology, Functional ecology and Identification. His Tropics study combines topics in areas such as Biomass, Dry season and Amazonian. His study explores the link between Rainforest and topics such as Carbon sink that cross with problems in Carbon dioxide, Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere, Forest ecology, Carbon sequestration and Sink.
