2021 - Fellow of the Ecological Society of America (ESA)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Stefan A. Schnitzer mainly investigates Ecology, Liana, Species diversity, Woody plant and Species richness. All of his Ecology and Biodiversity, Competition, Forest ecology, Tropics and Dry season investigations are sub-components of the entire Ecology study. In his study, Soil biology, Relative species abundance, Biota and Productivity is strongly linked to Ecosystem, which falls under the umbrella field of Biodiversity.

His Competition study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Plant community, Canopy, Disturbance and Seedling. His work deals with themes such as Abundance, Biomass, Agronomy, Tropical climate and Rainforest, which intersect with Liana. His study looks at the relationship between Rainforest and fields such as Agroforestry, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His most cited work include:

  • The ecology of lianas and their role in forests (720 citations)
  • Negative plant–soil feedback predicts tree-species relative abundance in a tropical forest (665 citations)
  • Negative plant–soil feedback predicts tree-species relative abundance in a tropical forest (665 citations)

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

Stefan A. Schnitzer mostly deals with Ecology, Liana, Abundance, Biomass and Canopy. His study in Competition, Species diversity, Ecosystem, Species richness and Biodiversity falls within the category of Ecology. His Species diversity study incorporates themes from Ecology and Tropics.

His Liana research incorporates elements of Agronomy, Woody plant, Tree canopy, Forestry and Panama. Stefan A. Schnitzer has included themes like Basal area, Seasonality and Disturbance in his Abundance study. His work in Canopy addresses subjects such as Agroforestry, which are connected to disciplines such as Logging.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (127.01%)
  • Liana (129.86%)
  • Abundance (38.39%)

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

  • Liana (129.86%)
  • Ecology (127.01%)
  • Panama (31.28%)

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

Stefan A. Schnitzer spends much of his time researching Liana, Ecology, Panama, Biomass and Abundance. His Liana research includes themes of Agronomy, Canopy, Tree canopy, Seasonality and Competition. Woody plant, Species richness, Understory, Ecosystem and Habitat are among the areas of Ecology where the researcher is concentrating his efforts.

His Ecosystem study combines topics in areas such as Biodiversity, Vegetation and Extinction. Stefan A. Schnitzer interconnects Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, Global biodiversity and Temporal scales in the investigation of issues within Biomass. His studies deal with areas such as Lidar and Tropical rainforest as well as Abundance.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Lianas have a seasonal growth advantage over co-occurring trees (20 citations)
  • Lianas have a seasonal growth advantage over co-occurring trees (20 citations)
  • A multitrophic perspective on biodiversity-ecosystem functioning research (19 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

His main research concerns Liana, Ecology, Biomass, Abundance and Canopy. His studies in Liana integrate themes in fields like Arboreal locomotion, Species richness, Competition and Nest. His study in Specific leaf area extends to Ecology with its themes.

His research in Biomass intersects with topics in Secondary forest, Vegetation, Plant functional type, Carbon sink and Dynamic global vegetation model. His Abundance study incorporates themes from Lidar, Forestry and Tropical rainforest. The concepts of his Canopy study are interwoven with issues in Allometry, Deciduous, Biomass partitioning, Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests and Evergreen.
