About Rien Aerts

Rien Aerts, With an exceptional h-index of 91 and a recent h-index of 57 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, specializes in the field of global change, biogeochemistry, biodiversity.

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

Environmental drivers of increased ecosystem respiration in a warming tundra

Macro-environment strongly interacts with warming in a global analysis of decomposition

Plant diversity dynamics over space and time in a warming Arctic

Experimental evidence that leaf litter decomposability and flammability are decoupled across gymnosperm species

Community adaptation to temperature explains abrupt soil bacterial community shift along a geothermal gradient on Iceland

The importance of inland water CO2, CH4, N2O to summertime greenhouse gas exchange with the atmosphere in arctic tundra lowlands

Contrasting impacts of non-native isopods and springtails on ecosystem processes under simulated Antarctic climate conditions

First estimates of fine root production in tropical peat swamp and terra firme forests of the central Congo Basin
