1963 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

William S. Keeton focuses on Ecology, Old-growth forest, Pesticide, Sustainable forest management and Agroforestry. Stand development is the focus of his Ecology research. His Stand development study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ecological succession, Environmental resource management, Silvology, Spatial ecology and Sustainability.

His study in Old-growth forest is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Hectare, Hardwood and Basal area. His Sustainable forest management study combines topics in areas such as Biomass, Coarse woody debris, Temperate climate and Land use, land-use change and forestry. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Agroforestry, focusing on Forest ecology and, on occasion, Forest inventory, Forest management, Carbon sequestration, Carbon accounting and Carbon sink.

His most cited work include:

  • Disturbances and structural development of natural forest ecosystems with silvicultural implications, using Douglas-fir forests as an example (1300 citations)
  • Preparing for Climatic Change: The Water, Salmon, and Forests of the Pacific Northwest (320 citations)
  • Managing for late-successional/old-growth characteristics in northern hardwood-conifer forests (160 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Old-growth forest, Forest management, Agroforestry and Forest ecology. His studies deal with areas such as Hardwood, Ecosystem, Temperate climate and Stand development as well as Old-growth forest. His Forest management study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Biomass, Sustainability and Environmental resource management.

The various areas that William S. Keeton examines in his Agroforestry study include Logging, Bioenergy and Coarse woody debris. William S. Keeton combines subjects such as Ecosystem services, Biomass, Climate change, Carbon accounting and Carbon cycle with his study of Forest ecology. His Biodiversity study incorporates themes from Species richness and Disturbance.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (45.98%)
  • Old-growth forest (31.03%)
  • Forest management (22.99%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Ecology (45.98%)
  • Old-growth forest (31.03%)
  • Agroforestry (19.54%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Old-growth forest, Agroforestry, Forest ecology and Ecosystem services. His research related to Basal area and Functional diversity might be considered part of Ecology. William S. Keeton has included themes like Abundance and Ecosystem in his Old-growth forest study.

His work on Forest management as part of general Agroforestry research is frequently linked to Primary, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Forest ecology research includes themes of Species richness, Forestry and Structural complexity. His Climate change research incorporates elements of Biodiversity and Habitat, Disturbance.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Where are Europe's last primary forests? (96 citations)
  • Shifting conceptions of complexity in forest management and silviculture (38 citations)
  • Intermediate‐severity wind disturbance in mature temperate forests: legacy structure, carbon storage, and stand dynamics (27 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Ecology, Climate change, Ecosystem services, Forest ecology and Agroforestry are his primary areas of study. Disturbance and Basal area are among the areas of Ecology where the researcher is concentrating his efforts. The study incorporates disciplines such as Windthrow, Pioneer species and Vegetation, Understory in addition to Disturbance.

His Climate change research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Adaptive management and Biodiversity. His work carried out in the field of Forest ecology brings together such families of science as Forest management and Structural complexity. In general Agroforestry, his work in Old-growth forest and Sustainable forest management is often linked to Primary linking many areas of study.
