About Nathan J. B. Kraft

Nathan J. B. Kraft, With an exceptional h-index of 60 and a recent h-index of 52 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at University of California, Los Angeles, specializes in the field of community ecology, functional ecology, tropical forests, grasslands.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Links to rare climates do not translate into distinct traits for island endemics

The impact of altered rainfall on flowering phenology in an annual grassland and its implications for coexistence

Unraveling Amazon tree community assembly using Maximum Information Entropy: a quantitative analysis of tropical forest ecology

The ecological causes of functional distinctiveness in communities

Does deterministic coexistence theory matter in a finite world?

Latitudinal scaling of aggregation with abundance and its consequences for coexistence in species rich forests

Global beta-diversity of angiosperm trees is shaped by Quaternary climate change

Functional traits predict species responses to environmental variation in a California grassland annual plant community
