Bengt Söderström

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Ecology
• Botany
• Fungus

His primary areas of study are Botany, Mycelium, Agronomy, Mycorrhiza and Biomass. When carried out as part of a general Botany research project, his work on Respiration rate is frequently linked to work in Compounds of carbon, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His work in the fields of Mycelium, such as Fungal mycelium, intersects with other areas such as Acid phosphatase and Vital stain.

His Agronomy research incorporates themes from Fungal biomass, Podzol, Scots pine and Respiration. His Mycorrhiza research includes elements of Asparagine and Phycomycetes. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Soil water, Soil horizon, Mycorrhizosphere, Cycling and Ecosystem.

His most cited work include:

• The use of phospholipid and neutral lipid fatty-acids to estimate biomass of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in soil (377 citations)
• Vital staining of fungi in pure cultures and in soil with fluorescein diacetate (296 citations)
• Decrease in soil microbial activity and biomasses owing to nitrogen amendments (242 citations)

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

Botany, Mycorrhiza, Mycelium, Paxillus involutus and Ectomycorrhiza are his primary areas of study. His research integrates issues of Soil water, Soil horizon and Symbiosis in his study of Botany. His Mycorrhiza research also works with subjects such as

• Colonization which is related to area like Inoculation,
• Horticulture which connect with Fertilizer.

His Mycelium research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Shoot, Agronomy, Peat, Soil pH and Hypha. His research in Paxillus involutus intersects with topics in Amino acid, Glutamine, Biochemistry and Pinus contorta. His Ectomycorrhiza research focuses on Hartig net and how it connects with Cell biology.

He most often published in these fields:

• Botany (64.15%)
• Mycorrhiza (30.19%)
• Mycelium (28.30%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1993-2005)?

• Botany (64.15%)
• Mycorrhiza (30.19%)
• Paxillus involutus (23.58%)

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

Bengt Söderström spends much of his time researching Botany, Mycorrhiza, Paxillus involutus, Ectomycorrhiza and Mycelium. His research in Botany is mostly concerned with Hypha. The Mycorrhiza study combines topics in areas such as Colonization, Picea abies, Fatty acid, Soil pH and Phycomycetes.

His Paxillus involutus research includes themes of Glutamate synthase, Biochemistry, Pinus contorta and Rhizopogon. He combines subjects such as Paxillus, Betula pendula, Suillus variegatus and Sporocarp with his study of Ectomycorrhiza. The study incorporates disciplines such as cDNA library and Rhizosphere in addition to Mycelium.

Between 1993 and 2005, his most popular works were:

• The use of phospholipid and neutral lipid fatty-acids to estimate biomass of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in soil (377 citations)
• The Mycota. IV Environmental and Microbial Relationships (131 citations)
• Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi respond to the substrate pH of their extraradical mycelium by altered growth and root colonization (125 citations)

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

• Ecology
• Botany
• Fungus

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Mycorrhiza, Mycelium, Paxillus involutus and Ectomycorrhiza. His Botany study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Nutrient. His Mycorrhiza study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Biochemistry, Fatty acid, Phycomycetes and Hypha.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including cDNA library, Rhizosphere, Symbiosis and Expressed sequence tag. His study in Paxillus involutus is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Regulation of gene expression, Gene expression, Gene, Hartig net and Betula pendula. His Ectomycorrhiza research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Paxillus, Sporocarp, Rhizopogon and Cell biology.
