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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

His primary areas of study are Abiotic component, Botany, Range, Glutamine synthetase and Malic enzyme. The study incorporates disciplines such as Host, Biotechnology, Mycorrhiza and Resistance in addition to Abiotic component. In his work, Baodong Chen performs multidisciplinary research in Botany and Glycyrrhizin.
