Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Meteorology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Boreal, Atmospheric sciences, Eddy covariance, Taiga and Hydrology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Climatology, Ecosystem and Deciduous. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Atmospheric sciences, Climate change is strongly linked to Carbon cycle.

His study in the fields of Ecosystem respiration under the domain of Eddy covariance overlaps with other disciplines such as Flux. His Taiga research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Albedo, Sensible heat, Chronosequence and Leaf area index. His studies deal with areas such as Soil water, Sediment and Canopy as well as Hydrology.

His most cited work include:

  • Defining leaf area index for non‐flat leaves (865 citations)
  • Ecosystem carbon dioxide fluxes after disturbance in forests of North America (622 citations)
  • Advantages of diffuse radiation for terrestrial ecosystem productivity (464 citations)

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

His main research concerns Eddy covariance, Atmospheric sciences, Hydrology, Boreal and Taiga. His Eddy covariance research also covers Ecosystem and Ecology studies. His Atmospheric sciences study also includes

  • Canopy that connect with fields like Leaf area index, Transpiration and Bowen ratio,
  • Stomatal conductance which is related to area like Photosynthetic capacity.

The Hydrology study combines topics in areas such as Sensible heat, Soil water, Vapour Pressure Deficit and Growing season. His research in Boreal tackles topics such as Climatology which are related to areas like Phenology. His research in Taiga focuses on subjects like Vegetation, which are connected to Carbon cycle.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Eddy covariance (34.59%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (32.70%)
  • Hydrology (25.79%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Eddy covariance (34.59%)
  • Ecosystem (18.87%)
  • Remote sensing (8.81%)

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

T. A. Black spends much of his time researching Eddy covariance, Ecosystem, Remote sensing, Atmospheric sciences and Forestry. His Eddy covariance study is concerned with Ecology in general. He has researched Ecosystem in several fields, including Productivity, Agronomy and Growing season.

His study in Atmospheric sciences is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Soil water, Terrestrial ecosystem, Canopy and Deciduous. His work in Forestry covers topics such as Forest ecology which are related to areas like Taiga. His work in Taiga addresses subjects such as Boreal, which are connected to disciplines such as Peat and Physical geography.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Use of change-point detection for friction–velocity threshold evaluation in eddy-covariance studies (91 citations)
  • Energy balance closure at the BERMS flux towers in relation to the water balance of the White Gull Creek watershed 1999-2009 (74 citations)
  • The FLUXNET2015 dataset and the ONEFlux processing pipeline for eddy covariance data (67 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Agriculture

His primary areas of investigation include Eddy covariance, Taiga, Black spruce, Hydrology and Boreal. His study on Ecosystem respiration is often connected to Flux as part of broader study in Eddy covariance. T. A. Black interconnects Primary production, Water balance and Evapotranspiration in the investigation of issues within Taiga.

His Black spruce study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Zenith, Photochemical Reflectance Index and Vegetation. Photosynthetically active radiation, Leaf area index, Biometeorology, Carbon sink and Forest ecology is closely connected to Forestry in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Hydrology. His Boreal research focuses on subjects like Growing season, which are linked to Precipitation and Soil water.
