Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • Ecosystem

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Biodiversity, Ecosystem, Species richness and Grassland. His research on Ecology frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Aphid. Wolfgang W. Weisser combines subjects such as Agroforestry, Land use, Ecosystem services, Environmental resource management and Trophic level with his study of Biodiversity.

His Ecosystem diversity study in the realm of Ecosystem interacts with subjects such as Microbial population biology. His studies in Species richness integrate themes in fields like Soil biology, Monoculture and Vegetation. The various areas that Wolfgang W. Weisser examines in his Grassland study include Community, Rare species, Grazing and Homogenization.

His most cited work include:

  • Persistent negative effects of pesticides on biodiversity and biological control potential on European farmland (745 citations)
  • Bottom-up effects of plant diversity on multitrophic interactions in a biodiversity experiment (570 citations)
  • Biodiversity increases the resistance of ecosystem productivity to climate extremes (524 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Biodiversity, Species richness, Ecosystem and Aphid. His Herbivore, Grassland, Trophic level, Plant community and Abundance investigations are all subjects of Ecology research. As a part of the same scientific family, Wolfgang W. Weisser mostly works in the field of Biodiversity, focusing on Agroforestry and, on occasion, Agriculture.

His work carried out in the field of Species richness brings together such families of science as Forest management, Plant cover, Habitat and Species diversity. His study brings together the fields of Productivity and Ecosystem. His research integrates issues of Acyrthosiphon pisum, Homoptera, Aphididae and Predation in his study of Aphid.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (71.59%)
  • Biodiversity (49.78%)
  • Species richness (35.02%)

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

  • Ecology (71.59%)
  • Biodiversity (49.78%)
  • Ecosystem (26.87%)

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

Wolfgang W. Weisser mostly deals with Ecology, Biodiversity, Ecosystem, Species richness and Herbivore. His work in Trophic level, Grassland, Abundance, Forest management and Temperate rainforest is related to Ecology. Wolfgang W. Weisser has researched Abundance in several fields, including Biomass and Abiotic component.

His Biodiversity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Land use, Temperate climate, Taxon, Environmental resource management and Spatial heterogeneity. His Ecosystem research includes elements of Plant community and Ecology. His research in Herbivore intersects with topics in Monoculture, Climate change, Aphid and Predation.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Arthropod decline in grasslands and forests is associated with landscape-level drivers (219 citations)
  • Radar vision in the mapping of forest biodiversity from space (104 citations)
  • The impact of even‐aged and uneven‐aged forest management on regional biodiversity of multiple taxa in European beech forests (101 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • Ecosystem

Wolfgang W. Weisser spends much of his time researching Biodiversity, Ecology, Ecosystem, Species richness and Ecosystem services. The concepts of his Biodiversity study are interwoven with issues in Taxon, Phylogenetic diversity, Spatial heterogeneity and Land use. All of his Ecology and Trophic level, Temperate rainforest, Biomass, Grassland and Gamma diversity investigations are sub-components of the entire Ecology study.

His Ecosystem study combines topics in areas such as Species evenness and Environmental resource management. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Forest management, Herbivore and Molecular evidence. Wolfgang W. Weisser interconnects Ecotoxicology and Plant species in the investigation of issues within Ecosystem services.
