Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Ecosystem, Predation, Vegetation and Herbivore. William G. Lee undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Ecology and Generality through his research. His studies in Ecosystem integrate themes in fields like Plant community and Range.

His Vegetation research focuses on Photosynthetic capacity and how it connects with Vascular plant. His study in Herbivore is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Invasive species, Shrubland, Regeneration and Understory. In Limiting similarity, William G. Lee works on issues like Biome, which are connected to Specific leaf area.

His most cited work include:

  • The worldwide leaf economics spectrum (4498 citations)
  • Assessing the generality of global leaf trait relationships (1091 citations)
  • Functional richness, functional evenness and functional divergence: the primary components of functional diversity (976 citations)

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

William G. Lee mainly focuses on Ecology, Botany, Herbivore, Biodiversity and Introduced species. His study in Habitat, Vegetation, Ecosystem, Plant community and Species richness is carried out as part of his studies in Ecology. William G. Lee studies Shrubland, a branch of Vegetation.

His Herbivore research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ungulate, Foraging and Invasive species. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Indigenous, Abiotic component and Environmental resource management. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Nutrient and Water-use efficiency.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (87.90%)
  • Botany (26.11%)
  • Herbivore (15.92%)

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

  • Biodiversity (19.11%)
  • Ecology (87.90%)
  • Ecosystem (14.01%)

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

William G. Lee mainly investigates Biodiversity, Ecology, Ecosystem, Pattern recognition and Hidden Markov model. His Biodiversity research includes themes of Range, Endemism and Biome. His Range research incorporates elements of National park, Protected area, Climate change and Habitat.

Environmental change, Plant community and Chionochloa are subfields of Ecology in which his conducts study. William G. Lee combines subjects such as Ecotone, Pelagic zone, Species diversity and Occupancy with his study of Ecosystem. The various areas that William G. Lee examines in his Pattern recognition study include False positive paradox and Artificial intelligence.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A national riparian restoration programme in New Zealand: Is it value for money? (19 citations)
  • A national riparian restoration programme in New Zealand: Is it value for money? (19 citations)
  • Evolutionary conservatism explains increasing relatedness of plant communities along a flooding gradient. (12 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Biomass, Plant community, Abiotic component and Obligate. Subtropical front and Pelagic zone are among the areas of Ecology where William G. Lee concentrates his study. His Biomass research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Productivity, Biosphere, Paleoclimatology and Growing season.

William G. Lee has included themes like Community, Chionochloa and Soil pH in his Plant community study. His Abiotic component study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Biodiversity, Environmental change, Aerenchyma and Disturbance.
