About Zak Ratajczak

Zak Ratajczak, With an exceptional h-index of 24 and a recent h-index of 21 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at Kansas State University, specializes in the field of community ecology, global change biology, complex systems, resilience.

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

Evaluating methods for measuring the leaf area index of encroaching shrubs in grasslands: From leaves to optical methods, 3-D scanning, and airborne observation

The long shadow of woody encroachment: An integrated approach to modeling grassland songbird habitat

Trajectories and state changes of a grassland stream and riparian zone after a decade of woody vegetation removal

Impacts of riparian and non-riparian woody encroachment on tallgrass prairie ecohydrology

Bison (Bison bison) dung Decays Slowly but Can Still be Used to Track Short-and Long-Term Habitat Usage

Regeneration strategies and forest resilience to changing fire regimes: Insights from a G oldilocks model

Reintroducing bison results in long-running and resilient increases in grassland diversity

The magnitude, direction, and tempo of forest change in Greater Yellowstone in a warmer world with more fire
