In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Botany, Desiccation, Acclimatization and Habitat.
As part of his studies on Ecology, William Block frequently links adjacent subjects like Cold tolerance.
William Block has researched Botany in several fields, including Cryptopygus antarcticus, Springtail, Supercooling and Animal science.
His study focuses on the intersection of Desiccation and fields such as Dehydration with connections in the field of Alginic acid, Silica gel and Desiccant.
In his research, Environmental chemistry and Environmental factor is intimately related to Range, which falls under the overarching field of Acclimatization.
His Habitat research focuses on Biota and how it relates to Abiotic component, Soil water, Fellfield, Adaptation and Resistance.
Between 1999 and 2015, his most popular works were:
- Cold or drought - the lesser of two evils for terrestrial arthropods? (112 citations)
- Antarctic diptera: ecology, physiology and distribution (98 citations)
- Soil arthropods as indicators of water stress in Antarctic terrestrial habitats (88 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
William Block mainly focuses on Ecology, Habitat, Botany, Invertebrate and Cold tolerance.
In his works, he performs multidisciplinary study on Ecology and Colonisation.
His study looks at the intersection of Habitat and topics like Biota with Climate change, Temperate climate, Fellfield, Adaptation and Ecosystem.
His study in the field of Desiccation also crosses realms of Cryoprotectant.
His Invertebrate research incorporates themes from Abiotic component, Soil water and Seasonality.
His research investigates the link between Cold tolerance and topics such as Perimylopidae that cross with problems in Overwintering and Animal science.
