Martin Zobel (2009)

Martin Zobel (born 25 February 1957 in Tallinn) is an Estonian plant ecologist and professor at the University of Tartu.[1] His name is particularly associated with the idea of an impact of regional species diversity on diversity at smaller spatial scales – known as the species pool effect. He has been professor since 1992. He has served as Editor-in-Chief of the scientific journal Ecography.

Zobel has appeared several times on Clarivate's annual lists of influential scientists every year from 2017 to 2021.[2][3][4][5][6]
