What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
Her primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Ecological succession, Herbivore, Botany and Insect.
Her Ecological succession research integrates issues from Plant community, Plant cover, Vegetation, Species richness and Species diversity.
Her work investigates the relationship between Species richness and topics such as Perennial plant that intersect with problems in Competition.
Valerie K. Brown interconnects Range, Temperate climate, Global warming, Climate change and Phenology in the investigation of issues within Herbivore.
Her Insect research includes elements of Plant ecology, Hemiptera, Colonisation and Scarabaeidae.
Her Biodiversity research includes themes of Agroforestry, Grassland, Grazing and Predation.
Her most cited work include:
- Herbivory in global climate change research: direct effects of rising temperature on insect herbivores (1725 citations)
- The management of lowland neutral grasslands in Britain: effects of agricultural practices on birds and their food resources (584 citations)
- The relationships of plant and insect diversities in succession (387 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Valerie K. Brown mainly investigates Ecology, Ecological succession, Herbivore, Botany and Species richness.
In Ecology, Valerie K. Brown works on issues like Biological dispersal, which are connected to Propagule.
Her research investigates the link between Ecological succession and topics such as Old field that cross with problems in Trophic level.
Her Herbivore study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Perennial plant, Field experiment, Range, Insect and Abiotic component.
Her research in the fields of Weed and Capsella bursa-pastoris overlaps with other disciplines such as Mycorrhiza and Arbuscular mycorrhiza.
Her Plant community research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Plant cover, Fungicide and Forb.
She most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (75.00%)
- Ecological succession (34.21%)
- Herbivore (34.21%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2004-2009)?
- Ecology (75.00%)
- Species richness (23.68%)
- Soil biodiversity (3.95%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Valerie K. Brown mainly focuses on Ecology, Species richness, Soil biodiversity, Species diversity and Abundance.
Allometry and Herbivore are subfields of Ecology in which her conducts study.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Zoology and Instar in addition to Allometry.
Her Herbivore study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Monodominance, Germination and Abiotic component.
Her Species richness research incorporates themes from Sorex, Ruderal species, Microtus and Wood mouse.
Her study in Soil biodiversity is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Species evenness, Soil management and Biodiversity.
Between 2004 and 2009, her most popular works were:
- Multitrophic Interactions in Terrestrial Systems (305 citations)
- Influence of agricultural management, sward structure and food resources on grassland field use, by birds in lowland England (135 citations)
- ECOLOGICAL SPECIFICITY OF ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAE: EVIDENCE FROM FOLIAR- AND SEED-FEEDING INSECTS (68 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Her primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Abundance, Mycorrhiza, Host and Glomus.
Her research in Abundance intersects with topics in Predation, Foraging, Grassland, Epigeal and Grazing.
Her Grazing research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Forb and Habitat.
Other disciplines of study, such as Tephritis neesii, Herbivore, Botany, Leucanthemum vulgare and Insect, are mixed together with her Mycorrhiza studies.
