Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

His primary areas of investigation include Arbuscular mycorrhiza, Agronomy, Mycorrhiza, Glomus and Botany. Baodong Chen combines subjects such as Nutrient and Shoot with his study of Arbuscular mycorrhiza. His research integrates issues of Calcareous, Phytoremediation and Red Clover in his study of Shoot.

His study in Agronomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Soil contamination and Plant nutrition. His Mycorrhiza study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Phytotoxicity and Pteris vittata. The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Steppe and Nitrification.

His most cited work include:

  • The role of arbuscular mycorrhiza in zinc uptake by red clover growing in a calcareous soil spiked with various quantities of zinc. (173 citations)
  • Arbuscular mycorrhiza can depress translocation of zinc to shoots of host plants in soils moderately polluted with zinc (171 citations)
  • Arbuscular mycorrhiza and soil nitrogen cycling (164 citations)

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

Baodong Chen mostly deals with Botany, Arbuscular mycorrhiza, Agronomy, Shoot and Mycorrhiza. His studies in Botany integrate themes in fields like Rhizophagus irregularis, Symbiosis and Glomeromycota. Baodong Chen focuses mostly in the field of Arbuscular mycorrhiza, narrowing it down to topics relating to Water-use efficiency and, in certain cases, Stomatal conductance.

His Agronomy research includes elements of Rhizosphere, Soil contamination and Phytoremediation. The concepts of his Shoot study are interwoven with issues in Terrestrial plant, Calcareous and Plant physiology. He interconnects Bioremediation, Biotechnology, Glomus, Root hair and Phycomycetes in the investigation of issues within Mycorrhiza.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (44.92%)
  • Arbuscular mycorrhiza (29.66%)
  • Agronomy (26.27%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Botany (44.92%)
  • Species richness (11.02%)
  • Symbiosis (19.49%)

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

Baodong Chen mainly investigates Botany, Species richness, Symbiosis, Arbuscular mycorrhiza and Agronomy. His work deals with themes such as Nutrient and Nitrate reductase, which intersect with Botany. His Species richness study introduces a deeper knowledge of Ecology.

His work focuses on many connections between Symbiosis and other disciplines, such as Photosynthesis, that overlap with his field of interest in Dry weight and Shoot. His Arbuscular mycorrhiza study incorporates themes from Putrescine and Nitrogen assimilation. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Soil pH, Soil test and Microbial population biology.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Contrasting latitudinal diversity and co-occurrence patterns of soil fungi and plants in forest ecosystems (29 citations)
  • Improved phosphorus nutrition by arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis as a key factor facilitating glycyrrhizin and liquiritin accumulation in Glycyrrhiza uralensis (12 citations)
  • Arbuscular mycorrhiza induced putrescine degradation into γ-aminobutyric acid, malic acid accumulation, and improvement of nitrogen assimilation in roots of water-stressed maize plants. (11 citations)

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.

Baodong Chen has included themes like Biotic component, Forest ecology and Species richness, Alpha diversity in his Range study. Baodong Chen integrates several fields in his works, including Glutamine synthetase, Malic acid, Arbuscular mycorrhiza, Nitrate reductase, Putrescine and Nitrogen assimilation. Baodong Chen studies Beta diversity, a branch of Ecology.
