About Peter Christiaan le Roux

Peter Christiaan le Roux, With an exceptional h-index of 32 and a recent h-index of 24 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at University of Pretoria, specializes in the field of Climate Change, Ecology, Plant-plant interactions, Ecosystem engineers, Species distribution modelling.

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

Fine‐scale variation in the effect of the cushion plant Azorella selago on vascular plants, mosses, hepatics and lichens in the sub‐Antarctic

A robust mixed-effects parametric quantile regression model for continuous proportions: Quantifying the constraints to vitality in cushion plants

Long-term spatially-replicated data show no physical cost to a benefactor species in a facilitative plant–plant interaction

Distance decay 2.0–a global synthesis of taxonomic and functional turnover in ecological communities

Geomorphological processes shape plant community traits in the Arctic

Investigation of ecologically relevant wind patterns on Marion Island using Computational Fluid Dynamics and measured data

Grazing and ecosystem service delivery in global drylands

Factors determining nest‐site selection of surface‐nesting seabirds: a case study on the world's largest pelagic bird, the Wandering Albatross (Diomedea exulans)
