Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Volkmar Wolters mainly investigates Ecology, Soil biology, Biodiversity, Species richness and Ecosystem. His Trophic level, Grassland, Species diversity, Soil food web and Microfauna study are his primary interests in Ecology. His Soil biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Soil biodiversity, Soil carbon, Decomposer and Mineralization.

His Biodiversity study combines topics in areas such as Environmental studies, Pollination, Pollinator, Community and Generalist and specialist species. His research integrates issues of Agroforestry and Habitat in his study of Species richness. His studies deal with areas such as Biomass, Abundance and Biota as well as Ecosystem.

His most cited work include:

  • Soil function in a changing world: the role of invertebrate ecosystem engineers (889 citations)
  • Interactions between Aboveground and Belowground Biodiversity in Terrestrial Ecosystems: Patterns, Mechanisms, and Feedbacks (509 citations)
  • Habitat loss, trophic collapse, and the decline of ecosystem services. (390 citations)

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

His main research concerns Ecology, Species richness, Soil biology, Biodiversity and Ecosystem. His work on Ecology deals in particular with Habitat, Trophic level, Abundance, Grassland and Food web. His Species richness research integrates issues from Arable land, Taxon, Transect, Vegetation and Community structure.

His study in Soil biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Soil biodiversity, Soil carbon, Decomposer and Agronomy. His research in Biodiversity focuses on subjects like Agroforestry, which are connected to Organic farming. His work carried out in the field of Ecosystem brings together such families of science as Biomass and Environmental resource management.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (61.86%)
  • Species richness (26.98%)
  • Soil biology (25.58%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Ecology (61.86%)
  • Biodiversity (25.12%)
  • Species richness (26.98%)

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

Volkmar Wolters spends much of his time researching Ecology, Biodiversity, Species richness, Ecosystem and Habitat. His study in the field of Abundance, Trophic level, Grassland and Soil biology also crosses realms of Context. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biomass, Agroforestry, Species diversity and Arable land.

His research on Species richness also deals with topics like

  • Taxon and related Range and Archaeology,
  • Threatened species that intertwine with fields like Alpha diversity and Biological dispersal. His Ecosystem research incorporates elements of Climate change, Speciation and Extinction. Volkmar Wolters combines subjects such as Wildflower, Pollination and Predation with his study of Habitat.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Intensive agriculture reduces soil biodiversity across Europe (324 citations)
  • Biodiversity at multiple trophic levels is needed for ecosystem multifunctionality (302 citations)
  • Land-use intensification causes multitrophic homogenization of grassland communities (176 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Biodiversity, Ecosystem, Species richness and Habitat. Volkmar Wolters performs multidisciplinary studies into Ecology and Context in his work. The concepts of his Biodiversity study are interwoven with issues in Range, Agroforestry, Arable land, Wildflower and Species diversity.

The Species richness study combines topics in areas such as Taxon and Threatened species. His Abundance research includes elements of Biomass and Spatial variability. His research integrates issues of Soil biodiversity, Soil food web and Intensive farming in his study of Ecosystem services.
