Overview

Ted R. Feldpausch is affiliated with the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science and the agricultural and biological sciences, with significant contributions to various subfields including nature and landscape conservation, global and planetary change, ecology, evolution, behavior and systematics, ecological modeling, and general ecology.

Their work extensively covers topics such as ecology and vegetation dynamics studies, forest ecology and management, plant and animal studies, plant water relations and carbon dynamics, fire effects on ecosystems, species distribution and climate change, and conservation, biodiversity, and resource management.

Feldpausch has published research in several notable venues, frequently contributing to Nature Communications, Nature, Global Ecology and Biogeography, Science, and Nature Ecology & Evolution. Their recent papers include:

  • Asynchronous carbon sink saturation in African and Amazonian tropical forests, 2020, Nature
  • Long-term thermal sensitivity of Earth's tropical forests, 2020, Science
  • Integrated global assessment of the natural forest carbon potential, 2023, Nature
  • The number of tree species on Earth, 2022, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • Tree mode of death and mortality risk factors across Amazon forests, 2020, Nature Communications

Their frequent coauthors include Oliver L. Phillips, Ben Hur Marimon, Beatriz Schwantes Marimon, Timothy R. Baker, and Eurídice N. Honorio Coronado. These collaborations reflect a network of extensive scientific inquiry related to tropical forest ecology and carbon dynamics.

Feldpausch's research integrates complex ecological modeling and empirical studies aimed at understanding forest dynamics on a global scale, carbon cycling, and species diversity. Their work contributes to advancing knowledge in forest response to climate factors and natural resource management under changing environmental conditions.
