Wayne T. Swank focuses on Ecology, Hydrology, Watershed, Ecosystem and Deciduous.
Wayne T. Swank regularly ties together related areas like Nitrification in his Ecology studies.
His work is dedicated to discovering how Hydrology, Clearcutting are connected with Logging and Nutrient and other disciplines.
In his study, Turbidity, Cumulative effects, Water quality and Fecal coliform is inextricably linked to Drainage basin, which falls within the broad field of Watershed.
His Vegetation research includes elements of Hardwood, Basal area and Prescribed burn.
His research integrates issues of Denitrification and Plant litter in his study of Soil water.
His most cited work include:
- Forest hydrology and ecology at Coweeta. (441 citations)
- Fluxes of Dissolved Organic Nutrients and Humic Substances in a Deciduous Forest (403 citations)
- Long-term hydrologic and water quality responses following commercial clearcutting of mixed hardwoods on a southern Appalachian catchment (268 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Hydrology, Ecology, Forestry, Soil water and Watershed.
In his research, Ecological succession and Forest ecology is intimately related to Vegetation, which falls under the overarching field of Hydrology.
His Ecology study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Nitrification.
His Forestry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Forest floor, Agroforestry, Hardwood and Kalmia.
His studies in Soil water integrate themes in fields like Environmental chemistry, Nitrogen cycle and Water content.
The Watershed study combines topics in areas such as Agronomy, Land use, Forest management, Clearcutting and Ecosystem.
He most often published in these fields:
- Hydrology (30.98%)
- Ecology (24.46%)
- Forestry (20.11%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of study are Hydrology, Watershed, Agroforestry, Forestry and Ecology.
His research in Hydrology intersects with topics in Logging, Aquatic ecosystem and Seasonality.
The concepts of his Watershed study are interwoven with issues in Species diversity, Ecosystem, Vegetation and Land use.
His Vegetation research incorporates themes from Throughfall, Soil water, Ecological succession and Plant litter.
The Agroforestry study which covers Clearcutting that intersects with Forest dynamics, STREAMS and Deciduous.
Many of his research projects under Forestry are closely connected to Elevation with Elevation, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
Between 2005 and 2018, his most popular works were:
- Long-term changes in forest composition and diversity following early logging (1919-1923) and the decline of American chestnut (Castanea dentata) (121 citations)
- Can forest management be used to sustain water‐based ecosystem services in the face of climate change? (111 citations)
- Direct effects of temperature on forest nitrogen cycling revealed through analysis of long‐term watershed records (63 citations)
