Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Enzyme

Andrea Polle mostly deals with Botany, Biochemistry, Antioxidant, Glutathione and Glutathione reductase. Her Botany study incorporates themes from Mycorrhiza and Abscisic acid. Her work in Biochemistry addresses subjects such as Biophysics, which are connected to disciplines such as Organelle, Copper, Detoxification, Manganese and Membrane transport.

As part of one scientific family, she deals mainly with the area of Antioxidant, narrowing it down to issues related to the Cadmium, and often Bark, Phloem, Proline and Transgene. She has included themes like Oxidative stress and Biosynthesis in her Glutathione study. Her Peroxidase research includes themes of Lignin and Guaiacol.

Her most cited work include:

  • Plant responses to abiotic stresses: heavy metal‐induced oxidative stress and protection by mycorrhization (1701 citations)
  • Making the life of heavy metal-stressed plants a little easier (825 citations)
  • The genome of Laccaria bicolor provides insights into mycorrhizal symbiosis (798 citations)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Botany, Beech, Fagus sylvatica, Agronomy and Biochemistry. Her studies deal with areas such as Mycorrhiza, Ectomycorrhiza and Horticulture as well as Botany. The concepts of her Beech study are interwoven with issues in Forest ecology and Plant litter.

Her Agronomy study deals with Biomass intersecting with Lignin. Glutathione and Nicotiana tabacum are the core of her Biochemistry study. Her work carried out in the field of Glutathione brings together such families of science as Oxidative stress, Sulfur and Antioxidant.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (54.72%)
  • Beech (16.11%)
  • Fagus sylvatica (15.00%)

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

  • Botany (54.72%)
  • Agronomy (14.44%)
  • Ecology (10.83%)

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

Andrea Polle mainly focuses on Botany, Agronomy, Ecology, Beech and Fagus sylvatica. Her Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Paxillus, Nitrate and Vacuole. Her Agronomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Photosynthesis and Biomass.

The various areas that she examines in her Beech study include Inocybe, Phosphorus, Species richness, Forest ecology and Nutrient. Andrea Polle interconnects Biomass, Soil water and Ectomycorrhiza in the investigation of issues within Phosphorus. Her Fagus sylvatica study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Soil classification, Cenococcum geophilum, Lactarius subdulcis, Fraxinus and Rhizosphere.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Trade-offs between multifunctionality and profit in tropical smallholder landscapes (359 citations)
  • Forest Soil Phosphorus Resources and Fertilization Affect Ectomycorrhizal Community Composition, Beech P Uptake Efficiency, and Photosynthesis (104 citations)
  • Multiple forest attributes underpin the supply of multiple ecosystem services. (59 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Enzyme

Her primary areas of investigation include Botany, Agronomy, Biodiversity, Biomass and Beech. Andrea Polle does research in Botany, focusing on Xylem specifically. Her research investigates the connection with Agronomy and areas like Nutrient which intersect with concerns in Global change, Soil classification and Topsoil.

Andrea Polle has researched Biodiversity in several fields, including Monoculture, Species richness and Land use. She combines subjects such as Resistance, Water-use efficiency, Adaptation, Drought resistance and Drought tolerance with her study of Biomass. Her research investigates the connection between Beech and topics such as Phosphorus that intersect with issues in Soil water, Horticulture and Agroforestry.
