Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Ecology, Competition, Nutrient and Nitrogen cycle. Her Botany study which covers Rhizosphere that intersects with Carbon flow. Her study looks at the intersection of Ecology and topics like Nitrogen fixation with Abiotic component and Biotic component.

Her Competition research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Symbiosis, Ecosystem and Interspecific competition. Angela Hodge combines subjects such as Monoculture, Mycorrhiza and Crop with her study of Nutrient. While the research belongs to areas of Nitrogen cycle, she spends her time largely on the problem of Hypha, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Glomus and Fungus.

Her most cited work include:

  • The plastic plant: root responses to heterogeneous supplies of nutrients (1095 citations)
  • Plant and mycorrhizal regulation of rhizodeposition (903 citations)
  • An arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus accelerates decomposition and acquires nitrogen directly from organic material (782 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Botany, Agronomy, Nutrient, Ecology and Microcosm. Her Botany study combines topics in areas such as Symbiosis and Mycorrhiza. The various areas that Angela Hodge examines in her Agronomy study include Soil biology, Organic matter, Rhizosphere and Phosphorus.

Her Nutrient research includes elements of Aphid, Colonisation and Mycelium. Her work on Competition, Foraging and Ecosystem as part of general Ecology research is often related to Plant community, thus linking different fields of science. Her Competition research focuses on subjects like Interspecific competition, which are linked to Plant ecology.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (55.26%)
  • Agronomy (38.16%)
  • Nutrient (34.21%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Agronomy (38.16%)
  • Botany (55.26%)
  • Hypha (18.42%)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Botany, Hypha, Phosphorus and Microcosm. Her work carried out in the field of Agronomy brings together such families of science as Arbuscular mycorrhiza, Nutrient and Nitrogen. Her Arbuscular mycorrhiza research incorporates elements of Ecology, Host and Fungus.

Her Botany study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Nutrient cycle, Symbiosis and Rhizophagus irregularis. Angela Hodge works mostly in the field of Microcosm, limiting it down to concerns involving Organic matter and, occasionally, Nitrate, Mutualism and Plant nutrition. Her Competition research incorporates themes from Foraging and Root system.

Between 2014 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Arbuscular mycorrhiza and nitrogen: implications for individual plants through to ecosystems (215 citations)
  • Carbon and phosphorus exchange may enable cooperation between an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus and a phosphate-solubilizing bacterium. (108 citations)
  • Resolving the 'nitrogen paradox' of arbuscular mycorrhizas: fertilization with organic matter brings considerable benefits for plant nutrition and growth. (59 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Fungus

Angela Hodge focuses on Botany, Microcosm, Hypha, Arbuscular mycorrhiza and Symbiosis. Angela Hodge has researched Botany in several fields, including Ecology, Agronomy and Phosphate. Her work on Ecology is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Plant physiology.

Her studies deal with areas such as Mutualism, Organic matter, Plant nutrition and Fungus as well as Agronomy. Her study in Phosphate is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Bacterial growth, Mineralization, Microorganism, Phosphorus and Hyphal growth. She integrates Competition and Organism in her studies.
