What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Biodiversity
Thomas Kitzberger mainly investigates Ecology, Forest dynamics, Biodiversity, Ecosystem services and Fire ecology.
His studies in Climate change, Deserts and xeric shrublands, Woodland, Woody plant and Ecotone are all subfields of Ecology research.
As part of his studies on Climate change, Thomas Kitzberger often connects relevant areas like Ecosystem.
His work on Forest ecology as part of general Ecosystem research is often related to Fire protection, thus linking different fields of science.
His work deals with themes such as Forest dieback, Sustainability and Environmental resource management, which intersect with Ecosystem services.
His Fire ecology research focuses on Fire regime and how it relates to La Niña, Growing season, El Niño Southern Oscillation and Climatology.
His most cited work include:
- A global overview of drought and heat-induced tree mortality reveals emerging climate change risks for forests (4059 citations)
- Climatic and human influences on fire regimes in ponderosa pine forests in the Colorado Front Range. (386 citations)
- Disturbance regime and disturbance interactions in a Rocky Mountain subalpine forest (320 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Thomas Kitzberger mainly focuses on Ecology, Austrocedrus, Nothofagus pumilio, Climate change and Fire regime.
Nothofagus, Vegetation, Nothofagus dombeyi, Deserts and xeric shrublands and Shrubland are among the areas of Ecology where Thomas Kitzberger concentrates his study.
His Austrocedrus research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Plant ecology, Range, Woody plant and Abiotic component.
His Climate change research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ecosystem and Forest dynamics.
His work in Forest dynamics tackles topics such as Ecosystem services which are related to areas like Environmental resource management.
Thomas Kitzberger works mostly in the field of Fire regime, limiting it down to topics relating to Ecotone and, in certain cases, Woodland.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (83.09%)
- Austrocedrus (21.32%)
- Nothofagus pumilio (16.91%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Ecology (83.09%)
- Climate change (14.71%)
- Flammability (5.15%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Ecology, Climate change, Flammability, Ecosystem and Alternative stable state are his primary areas of study.
His is doing research in Ecosystem services, Forest dynamics, Dominance, Threatened species and Tropical andes, both of which are found in Ecology.
His Climate change study incorporates themes from Subtropics, Podocarpus parlatorei, Infestation, Resistance and Vegetation.
His Resistance study combines topics in areas such as Adaptation, Productivity and Fire ecology.
Thomas Kitzberger works mostly in the field of Ecosystem, limiting it down to topics relating to Temperate climate and, in certain cases, Weibull distribution, Land use and Global change, as a part of the same area of interest.
His study in Alternative stable state is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Shrubland and Atmospheric sciences.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (179 citations)
- Patterns and Drivers of Recent Disturbances Across the Temperate Forest Biome (73 citations)
- Low growth resilience to drought is related to future mortality risk in trees (46 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Biodiversity
His primary areas of study are Climate change, Ecology, Resistance, Vegetation and Alternative stable state.
His Climate change study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Forest dynamics and Radial growth.
Ecosystem and Biome are subfields of Ecology in which his conducts study.
His study in the field of Temperate forest also crosses realms of Disturbance.
The concepts of his Resistance study are interwoven with issues in Productivity and Adaptation.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Post fire succession, Physical geography and Fire regime in addition to Alternative stable state.
