Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Biodiversity

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Temperate deciduous forest, Fagus crenata, Canopy and Beech. Deciduous, Species richness, Plant ecology, Biodiversity and Temperate forest are the primary areas of interest in his Ecology study. His Biodiversity research focuses on Ecosystem and how it relates to Litter.

As a member of one scientific family, Tohru Nakashizuka mostly works in the field of Fagus crenata, focusing on Forest floor and, on occasion, Fagaceae, Understory and Old-growth forest. His Canopy study deals with Phenology intersecting with Ecological significance and Dipterocarpaceae. His work carried out in the field of Beech brings together such families of science as Sasa, Undergrowth and Regeneration.

His most cited work include:

  • Quantifying the evidence for biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning and services. (1811 citations)
  • A global meta-analysis of the relative extent of intraspecific trait variation in plant communities (437 citations)
  • Biodiversity meets the atmosphere: A global view of forest canopies (258 citations)

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

Tohru Nakashizuka mostly deals with Ecology, Biodiversity, Botany, Canopy and Agroforestry. Ecology is a component of his Species diversity, Old-growth forest, Species richness, Temperate forest and Deciduous studies. His Biodiversity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ecosystem, Ecosystem services and Environmental resource management.

His Botany research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Agronomy and Horticulture. Tohru Nakashizuka interconnects Beech and Temperate deciduous forest in the investigation of issues within Canopy. His Fagus crenata research incorporates elements of Fagaceae, Regeneration and Understory.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (60.29%)
  • Biodiversity (17.65%)
  • Botany (15.20%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Ecology (60.29%)
  • Biodiversity (17.65%)
  • Ecosystem services (7.84%)

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

Tohru Nakashizuka mainly focuses on Ecology, Biodiversity, Ecosystem services, Agroforestry and Ecosystem. His is involved in several facets of Ecology study, as is seen by his studies on Species richness, Moorland, Intraspecific competition, Habitat and Species diversity. His work deals with themes such as Climate change mitigation, Environmental resource management and Interspecific competition, which intersect with Biodiversity.

His studies in Ecosystem services integrate themes in fields like Land cover, Sustainability and Sustainable development. The study incorporates disciplines such as Tropical rain forest, Forest ecology, Regeneration and Cephalostachyum pergracile in addition to Agroforestry. His study in the field of Terrestrial ecosystem also crosses realms of Phylogenetic diversity, Excellence and Phyllostachys bambusoides.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A global meta-analysis of the relative extent of intraspecific trait variation in plant communities (437 citations)
  • Temporal coexistence mechanisms contribute to the latitudinal gradient in forest diversity (59 citations)
  • Utilization of photographs taken by citizens for estimating bumblebee distributions (24 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Biodiversity

Tohru Nakashizuka focuses on Ecology, Intraspecific competition, Climate change, Ecosystem and Interspecific competition. He integrates several fields in his works, including Ecology and Context. His studies deal with areas such as Plant community, Species richness and Niche as well as Intraspecific competition.

His Climate change research includes themes of Annual cycle, Leaf fall, Phenology and Plant litter. His Ecosystem research integrates issues from Global warming, Phyllostachys edulis, Bamboo and Environmental niche modelling. His Interspecific competition research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Temperate rainforest, Tropics, Competition, Niche differentiation and Ecosystem diversity.
