Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Artificial intelligence

Yosio Edemir Shimabukuro mainly focuses on Amazon rainforest, Deforestation, Remote sensing, Land use and Agroforestry. His Amazon rainforest study incorporates themes from Hydrology, Dry season, Spatial ecology and Biome. Yosio Edemir Shimabukuro combines subjects such as Environmental protection, Remote sensing, Environmental resource management, Greenhouse gas and Afforestation with his study of Deforestation.

His work carried out in the field of Remote sensing brings together such families of science as Image resolution, Pixel, Vegetation and Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer. His research investigates the connection between Land use and topics such as Tropics that intersect with problems in Ancillary data, Soil retrogression and degradation, Secondary succession and Agricultural productivity. His study looks at the relationship between Agroforestry and fields such as Agriculture, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His most cited work include:

  • Cropland expansion changes deforestation dynamics in the southern Brazilian Amazon (728 citations)
  • Amazon rainforests green‐up with sunlight in dry season (562 citations)
  • The least-squares mixing models to generate fraction images derived from remote sensing multispectral data (523 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Remote sensing, Amazon rainforest, Vegetation, Land cover and Deforestation. His Remote sensing research includes themes of Image resolution, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index study combines topics in areas such as Climatology, Advanced very-high-resolution radiometer, Leaf area index, Seasonality and Phenology.

He has researched Amazon rainforest in several fields, including Cartography, Land use, Hydrology, Forestry and Physical geography. The study incorporates disciplines such as Dry season, Biome and Spatial variability in addition to Vegetation. His Deforestation research includes elements of Agroforestry, Environmental protection, Climate change, Tropics and Greenhouse gas.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Remote sensing (40.34%)
  • Amazon rainforest (39.31%)
  • Vegetation (28.28%)

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

  • Amazon rainforest (39.31%)
  • Deforestation (22.76%)
  • Forestry (17.59%)

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

Yosio Edemir Shimabukuro mostly deals with Amazon rainforest, Deforestation, Forestry, Land cover and Remote sensing. His Amazon rainforest study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cartography, Secondary forest, Physical geography, Biome and Forest degradation. His Deforestation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Agroforestry, Pollutant, Environmental protection, Tropics and Atmospheric sciences.

The various areas that he examines in his Forestry study include Forest cover, Canopy, Tropical forest and Buffer zone. His Land cover research incorporates elements of Shrubland, Vegetation, Environmental resource management and Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Tree and Pixel.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Tree species classification in tropical forests using visible to shortwave infrared WorldView-3 images and texture analysis (36 citations)
  • Individual tree crown delineation in a highly diverse tropical forest using very high resolution satellite images (33 citations)
  • Effects of climate and land‐use change scenarios on fire probability during the 21st century in the Brazilian Amazon (29 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Artificial intelligence

Yosio Edemir Shimabukuro mainly investigates Amazon rainforest, Deforestation, Forestry, Seasonality and Canopy. His studies in Amazon rainforest integrate themes in fields like Evapotranspiration, Satellite imagery and Spatial variability. His Deforestation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Biomass, Tropics, Forest fragmentation and Environmental protection.

The various areas that Yosio Edemir Shimabukuro examines in his Seasonality study include Climate change, Precipitation, Effects of global warming, Physical geography and Biome. The concepts of his Canopy study are interwoven with issues in Forest degradation, Leaf area index, Tropical rainforest and Land use. The Remote sensing study combines topics in areas such as Image resolution and Dry season.
