The Photosynthesis study combines topics in areas such as Computational chemistry, Biophysics and Chlorella. His Biophysics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Extracellular and Photoinhibition. Aaron Kaplan regularly links together related areas like Abiotic component in his Botany studies.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Development of the polysaccharidic matrix in biocrusts induced by a cyanobacterium inoculated in sand microcosms (41 citations)
  • The mechanisms whereby the green alga Chlorella ohadii, isolated from desert soil crust, exhibits unparalleled photodamage resistance (39 citations)
  • Three-dimensional structure and cyanobacterial activity within a desert biological soil crust (39 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Bacteria

Aaron Kaplan mostly deals with Cyanobacteria, Botany, Photosynthesis, Light intensity and Desiccation. The study incorporates disciplines such as Microcosm and Microbial inoculant in addition to Cyanobacteria. His Microbial inoculant study combines topics in areas such as Nutrient, Agronomy, Incubation and Physical stability.
