Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Alf Norkko mainly investigates Ecology, Ecosystem, Benthic zone, Eutrophication and Oceanography. His Ecology research focuses on Habitat, Estuary and Austrovenus stutchburyi. His research in Ecosystem focuses on subjects like Biodiversity, which are connected to Ecology and Species richness.

His work deals with themes such as Pelagic zone and Community structure, which intersect with Benthic zone. His Eutrophication research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Baltic sea, Algae, Algal mat and Macoma balthica. The Oceanography study combines topics in areas such as Atrina zelandica and Atrina.

His most cited work include:

  • Hypoxia-Related Processes in the Baltic Sea (379 citations)
  • Muddy waters: elevating sediment input to coastal and estuarine habitats (253 citations)
  • Muddy waters: elevating sediment input to coastal and estuarine habitats (253 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Benthic zone, Ecosystem, Oceanography and Biodiversity. Alf Norkko performs multidisciplinary study in Ecology and Hypoxia in his work. His study in Benthic zone is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biomass, Pelagic zone, Eutrophication and Community structure.

His work on Nutrient cycle as part of general Ecosystem research is often related to Trait, thus linking different fields of science. His Oceanography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Atrina zelandica and Fauna. His research investigates the connection between Biodiversity and topics such as Meiobenthos that intersect with problems in Bioindicator.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (105.16%)
  • Benthic zone (74.65%)
  • Ecosystem (58.22%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Ecology (105.16%)
  • Benthic zone (74.65%)
  • Ecosystem (58.22%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Ecology, Benthic zone, Ecosystem, Oceanography and Biodiversity are his primary areas of study. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Baltic sea and Ecology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Biomass, Polychaete, Environmental change, Biogeochemical cycle and Eutrophication in addition to Benthic zone.

His research in Ecosystem intersects with topics in Global biodiversity, Spatial heterogeneity and Spatial variability. His Oceanography research incorporates themes from Total organic carbon, Fauna and Erosion. His research investigates the connection between Biodiversity and topics such as Meiobenthos that intersect with issues in Bioindicator and Detritivore.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global carbon cycling on a heterogeneous seafloor (42 citations)
  • Global carbon cycling on a heterogeneous seafloor (42 citations)
  • Seasonal ecosystem metabolism across shallow benthic habitats measured by aquatic eddy covariance (17 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Ecosystem, Benthic zone, Habitat and Biomass. He has researched Ecosystem in several fields, including Biodiversity and Oceanography. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Biodiversity, Diatom and Species richness is strongly linked to Spatial heterogeneity.

His study in Benthic zone is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Spatial ecology, Polychaete, Community structure and Bioturbation. Alf Norkko focuses mostly in the field of Habitat, narrowing it down to matters related to Food web and, in some cases, Organic matter, Biogeochemistry and Dissolved organic carbon. The concepts of his Benthos study are interwoven with issues in Macoma balthica, Pelagic zone and Water column.
