Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Climate change

His primary areas of study are Atmospheric sciences, Climate change, Biosphere, Carbon cycle and Vegetation. His Atmospheric sciences study often links to related topics such as Soil science. His Climate change research includes elements of Agroforestry, Climatology and Ecosystem services.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Eddy covariance, Deforestation and Carbon dioxide in addition to Carbon cycle. His Vegetation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Water balance, Functional ecology, Ecosystem and Physical geography. He combines subjects such as Carbon sequestration, Photosynthesis, Global change and Taiga with his study of Ecosystem.

His most cited work include:

  • TRY - a global database of plant traits (1611 citations)
  • Ecosystem Service Supply and Vulnerability to Global Change in Europe (1280 citations)
  • Recent decline in the global land evapotranspiration trend due to limited moisture supply (1225 citations)

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

Sönke Zaehle mainly investigates Atmospheric sciences, Ecosystem, Carbon cycle, Climate change and Biosphere. His Atmospheric sciences study incorporates themes from Primary production, Terrestrial ecosystem, Nitrogen cycle, Carbon sink and Carbon dioxide. His Ecosystem research incorporates themes from Carbon sequestration, Vegetation, Global change and Hydrology.

His work deals with themes such as Atmosphere, Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere, Data assimilation and Precipitation, which intersect with Carbon cycle. His Climate change research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Climatology, Greenhouse gas and Land use, land-use change and forestry. Fossil fuel is closely connected to Deforestation in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Biosphere.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Atmospheric sciences (40.42%)
  • Ecosystem (30.42%)
  • Carbon cycle (27.50%)

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

  • Atmospheric sciences (40.42%)
  • Carbon cycle (27.50%)
  • Ecosystem (30.42%)

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

Sönke Zaehle mostly deals with Atmospheric sciences, Carbon cycle, Ecosystem, Vegetation and Carbon dioxide. His work carried out in the field of Atmospheric sciences brings together such families of science as Biosphere, Nitrogen cycle, Greenhouse gas, Water content and Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere. The concepts of his Greenhouse gas study are interwoven with issues in Climate change and Carbon sink.

Sönke Zaehle has included themes like Atmosphere and Precipitation in his Carbon cycle study. His Ecosystem study is associated with Ecology. His Carbon dioxide study combines topics in areas such as Photosynthesis and Primary production.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The fate of carbon in a mature forest under carbon dioxide enrichment (58 citations)
  • A comprehensive quantification of global nitrous oxide sources and sinks (54 citations)
  • Global Carbon Budget 2020 (43 citations)
