Talk 2
XII Workshop of Probability and Statistics group
CIDMA- University of Aveiro
Speaker: Jacob Keizer - University of Aveiro
Title of the talk: Illustrating the use of statistical methods and techniques used in soil (erosion) studies
Abstract: This is a joint work with Girona-García A., Gouveia S., Lopes A.R., Martins M.A.S. and Vieira D.C.S. The presentation aims to give an idea of the range of statistical methods and techniques that the authors have been using in their (submitted) articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals. In particular, the presentation will present and discuss the experimental designs and statistical tests and results of the following four articles:1) Keizer et al. (2008; DOI: 10.1016/j.catena.2008.01.004), dealing with (differences in) temporal patterns in post-fire topsoil water repellency in two neighboring burnt eucalypt stands;
2) Lopes et al. (under review; manuscript number GEOMOR-13405), dealing with statistical and mathematical modeling of temporal patterns in post-fire soil erosion;
3) Martins et al. (2024; 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.170785), dealing with differences in topsoil properties between terraced and non-terraced eucalypt plantations along a time-since-terracing sequence, using a space-for-time approach;
4) Girona-García et al. (2021; DOI: 10.1016/j.earscirev.2021.103611), dealing with a meta-analysis of the effectiveness of post-fire soil erosion mitigation treatments.
Jacob Keizer, (JJK) has the Dutch nationality but has been resident in Portugal since 1998, when he started working at the Department of Environment and Planning of the University of Aveiro. JJK’s current position is that of Principal Researcher with Habilitation, being member of the GeoBioTec research unit. JJK holds a PhD degree in Natural Sciences, specialization Vegetation Ecology, from the University of Amsterdam. Especially since 2005, however, JJK has focussed his research activities on forest and fire ecohydrology, with a special emphasis on post-fire runoff and erosion and their mitigation. JJK has participated in over 50 R&D&I projects, in over 25 of which in a coordinating role. JJK has co-authored over 150 journal articles included in the SCOPUS database, and currently has an h-index of 46 in the same database.
