Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Ecosystem

His primary areas of investigation include Climate change, Carbon cycle, Atmospheric sciences, Climatology and Ecosystem. His Climate change study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Deforestation and Physical geography. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Carbon dioxide and Biosphere.

His studies in Atmospheric sciences integrate themes in fields like Atmosphere, Hydrology, Global warming, Carbon sink and Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere. His studies deal with areas such as Primary production and Climate model as well as Climatology. To a larger extent, Stephen Sitch studies Ecology with the aim of understanding Ecosystem.

His most cited work include:

  • A Large and Persistent Carbon Sink in the World’s Forests (3463 citations)
  • Evaluation of ecosystem dynamics, plant geography and terrestrial carbon cycling in the LPJ dynamic global vegetation model (2314 citations)
  • Global response of terrestrial ecosystem structure and function to CO2 and climate change: results from six dynamic global vegetation models (1641 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Atmospheric sciences, Climate change, Carbon cycle, Vegetation and Climatology. In his research on the topic of Atmospheric sciences, Carbon sequestration, Sink and Soil carbon is strongly related with Carbon sink. The Climate change study combines topics in areas such as Deforestation, Ecosystem and Greenhouse gas.

His study in Carbon cycle is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biosphere, Land use, land-use change and forestry, Photosynthetically active radiation, Meteorology and Carbon dioxide. His Vegetation study incorporates themes from Biomass, Productivity, Leaf area index, Biome and Global change. The study incorporates disciplines such as Dynamic global vegetation model, Climate model, Biogeochemical cycle and Land use in addition to Climatology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Atmospheric sciences (46.15%)
  • Climate change (41.67%)
  • Carbon cycle (36.22%)

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

  • Atmospheric sciences (46.15%)
  • Vegetation (34.62%)
  • Carbon cycle (36.22%)

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

Atmospheric sciences, Vegetation, Carbon cycle, Ecosystem and Climate change are his primary areas of study. Stephen Sitch has included themes like Primary production, Precipitation, Carbon sink, Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere and Nutrient in his Atmospheric sciences study. The concepts of his Vegetation study are interwoven with issues in Climatology, Tropics, Biome, Spatial ecology and Earth system science.

His Carbon cycle research includes themes of Biosphere, Land use, Land use, land-use change and forestry, Deforestation and Carbon dioxide. His Ecosystem study contributes to a more complete understanding of Ecology. Stephen Sitch has researched Climate change in several fields, including Growing season, Leaf area index, Stomatal conductance, Physical geography and Ozone.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global Carbon Budget 2019 (405 citations)
  • Increased atmospheric vapor pressure deficit reduces global vegetation growth. (111 citations)
  • Global trends in carbon sinks and their relationships with CO2 and temperature (49 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Ecosystem

Atmospheric sciences, Vegetation, Carbon cycle, Ecosystem and Climatology are his primary areas of study. His Atmospheric sciences study combines topics in areas such as Eddy covariance, Carbon sink and Water content. His research on Vegetation also deals with topics like

  • Stomatal conductance most often made with reference to Climate change,
  • Physical geography most often made with reference to Forcing,
  • Land cover that intertwine with fields like Climate model.

His Carbon cycle study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Atmospheric chemistry, Carbon dioxide, Terrestrial ecosystem and Biosphere. His study in Ecosystem focuses on Primary production in particular. Stephen Sitch combines subjects such as Arid and Land use with his study of Climatology.
