Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Genus

His scientific interests lie mostly in Monsoon, Climatology, Late Miocene, Paleoclimatology and Paleontology. His study looks at the relationship between Climatology and fields such as Seasonality, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. The various areas that he examines in his Late Miocene study include Subtropics and Vegetation.

To a larger extent, Zhe-Kun Zhou studies Ecology with the aim of understanding Paleoclimatology. His Ecology study incorporates themes from Expert system and Environmental resource management. His work carried out in the field of Paleontology brings together such families of science as Austrobaileyales and Hydatellaceae.

His most cited work include:

  • In Search of the First Flower: A Jurassic Angiosperm, Archaefructus, from Northeast China (306 citations)
  • Systematics of Fagaceae: Phylogenetic tests of reproductive trait evolution (198 citations)
  • Quantitative reconstruction of the Late Miocene monsoon climates of southwest China: A case study of the Lincang flora from Yunnan Province (109 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Paleontology, Ecology, Botany, Genus and Plateau. His Paleontology study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as China. His Ecology research incorporates elements of Biological dispersal and Cenozoic.

His Plateau study incorporates themes from Period, Tectonics and Vegetation. His study focuses on the intersection of Neogene and fields such as Monsoon with connections in the field of Seasonality. His work deals with themes such as Subtropics and Paleoclimatology, which intersect with Late Miocene.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (63.93%)
  • Ecology (54.10%)
  • Botany (38.69%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Plateau (33.11%)
  • Paleontology (63.93%)
  • Ecology (54.10%)

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

Zhe-Kun Zhou mainly focuses on Plateau, Paleontology, Ecology, Structural basin and Genus. His Plateau research includes elements of Biodiversity, Vegetation, Tsuga and Aridification. His Vegetation study also includes

  • Evergreen which is related to area like Period,
  • Physical geography that connect with fields like Monsoon.

Paleontology is a component of his Neogene, Paleogene, Cretaceous, Biogeography and Cenozoic studies. The Structural basin study combines topics in areas such as Sedimentary rock and China. His Genus study combines topics in areas such as Evolutionary biology, Floristics, Infructescence and East Asia.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Why ‘the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau’ is a myth (24 citations)
  • Why ‘the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau’ is a myth (24 citations)
  • Tibetan Plateau: An evolutionary junction for the history of modern biodiversity (12 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Genus

Zhe-Kun Zhou mostly deals with Plateau, Paleontology, Cenozoic, Genus and Neogene. His Plateau research integrates issues from Evolutionary biology, Biodiversity, Mixed coniferous forest, Tsuga and Vegetation. His Biodiversity study deals with the bigger picture of Ecology.

Zhe-Kun Zhou combines subjects such as Tectonic uplift and Biological dispersal with his study of Ecology. His Cenozoic research incorporates themes from Shrub, Physical geography and Deciduous. The Genus study which covers Biogeography that intersects with East Asia, Cretaceous and Land bridge.
