What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
Alf Ekblad mainly investigates Ecology, Soil respiration, Carbon cycle, Botany and Respiration.
In general Ecology study, his work on Ecosystem, Soil organic matter, Growing season and Perennial plant often relates to the realm of River delta, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
His research on Soil respiration concerns the broader Soil water.
Alf Ekblad combines subjects such as Rhizosphere and Isotope fractionation with his study of Soil water.
His research integrates issues of Nitrogen cycle, Mycorrhiza and Agronomy in his study of Botany.
His Mycorrhiza research integrates issues from Deschampsia flexuosa, Decomposer, Xylem and Girdling.
His most cited work include:
- Large-scale forest girdling shows that current photosynthesis drives soil respiration (1541 citations)
- Large-scale forest girdling shows that current photosynthesis drives soil respiration (1541 citations)
- Boreal forest plants take up organic nitrogen (837 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Alf Ekblad mostly deals with Botany, Soil respiration, Agronomy, Ecology and Ecosystem.
His Botany research incorporates elements of Mycorrhiza, Ectomycorrhiza and Carbon cycle.
His research in Soil respiration intersects with topics in Microorganism, Picea abies and Decomposer.
His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil organic matter, Soil carbon, Mycelium and Mineralization.
His study looks at the relationship between Respiration and fields such as Sucrose, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.
The concepts of his Photosynthesis study are interwoven with issues in Xylem and Girdling.
He most often published in these fields:
- Botany (40.86%)
- Soil respiration (39.78%)
- Agronomy (36.56%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2020)?
- Materials science (6.45%)
- Mineralogy (6.45%)
- Agronomy (36.56%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Alf Ekblad focuses on Materials science, Mineralogy, Agronomy, Organic matter and Ecosystem.
His study in Agronomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Nutrient and Mycelium.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Geochemistry, Soil water, Soil fertility and Total organic carbon in addition to Organic matter.
The various areas that he examines in his Ecosystem study include Carbon sequestration, δ13C and Nitrogen cycle.
His Chronosequence research incorporates themes from Growing season, Soil organic matter, Soil respiration, Forest ecology and Nutrient cycle.
His study explores the link between Taiga and topics such as Botany that cross with problems in Ecology.
Between 2016 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Identifying the Active Microbiome Associated with Roots and Rhizosphere Soil of Oilseed Rape. (55 citations)
- Contrasting effects of ectomycorrhizal fungi on early and late stage decomposition in a boreal forest. (48 citations)
- Changes in turnover rather than production regulate biomass of ectomycorrhizal fungal mycelium across a Pinus sylvestris chronosequence. (32 citations)
