Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Genus

William A. DiMichele mostly deals with Ecology, Paleontology, Pennsylvanian, Permian and Carboniferous. Many of his research projects under Ecology are closely connected to Paleobotany with Paleobotany, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Vegetation and Botany.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Glacial period, Climate change and Paleozoic in addition to Permian. His Carboniferous research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Taxon, Community, Population size and Wetland. He works mostly in the field of Sigillaria, limiting it down to topics relating to Cordaites and, in certain cases, Coal ball, as a part of the same area of interest.

His most cited work include:

  • CO2-Forced Climate and Vegetation Instability During Late Paleozoic Deglaciation (351 citations)
  • Terrestrial Ecosystems Through Time: Evolutionary Paleoecology of Terrestrial Plants and Animals (311 citations)
  • Terrestrial Ecosystems Through Time (288 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Paleontology, Pennsylvanian, Permian, Ecology and Carboniferous. His Paleontology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Flora and Coal. In his study, Biome is strongly linked to Vegetation, which falls under the umbrella field of Pennsylvanian.

The various areas that he examines in his Permian study include Taxon, Botany, Red beds and ABO blood group system. His research investigates the connection between Ecology and topics such as Calamites that intersect with problems in Cordaites. The concepts of his Paleozoic study are interwoven with issues in Ice age and Earth science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (50.00%)
  • Pennsylvanian (41.15%)
  • Permian (30.09%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Paleontology (50.00%)
  • Pennsylvanian (41.15%)
  • Permian (30.09%)

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

Paleontology, Pennsylvanian, Permian, Paleozoic and Ecology are his primary areas of study. His research investigates the connection with Paleontology and areas like Peat which intersect with concerns in Swamp, Biome and Vegetation. His work on Coal ball is typically connected to Public education as part of general Pennsylvanian study, connecting several disciplines of science.

His Permian research includes elements of Taxon, Botany, ABO blood group system and Sphenopteris. His Paleozoic research integrates issues from Ice age, Earth science, Ecosystem, Fern and Arid. His Tropics, Habitat and Paleoecology study, which is part of a larger body of work in Ecology, is frequently linked to Previously treated, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Dynamic Carboniferous tropical forests: new views of plant function and potential for physiological forcing of climate. (32 citations)
  • A hidden cradle of plant evolution in Permian tropical lowlands (22 citations)
  • New insights on the stepwise collapse of the Carboniferous Coal Forests: Evidence from cyclothems and coniferopsid tree-stumps near the Desmoinesian-Missourian boundary in Peoria County, Illinois, USA (14 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Genus

William A. DiMichele mainly investigates Paleontology, Pennsylvanian, Permian, Carboniferous and Swamp. His Pennsylvanian research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Macrofossil, Pollen, Botany, Taxon and Walchia. His Carboniferous study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ecology, Paleosol and Paleoclimatology.

William A. DiMichele integrates Ecology and Plant evolution in his studies. His studies deal with areas such as Vegetation, Paleoecology and Biome as well as Paleoclimatology. His Swamp study incorporates themes from Peat and Wetland.
