Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Botany

Benjamin L. Turner focuses on Phosphorus, Soil water, Ecology, Agronomy and Phosphate. His Phosphorus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil organic matter, Nutrient, Biogeochemical cycle and Ecosystem. His Soil water study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Environmental chemistry, Botany and Pyrophosphate.

His Environmental chemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Soil classification, Organic phosphorus, Hydrolysis and Water quality. Benjamin L. Turner works mostly in the field of Agronomy, limiting it down to topics relating to Biogeochemistry and, in certain cases, Surface runoff, as a part of the same area of interest. His Phosphate research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Phosphorus-31 NMR spectroscopy, Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Extraction and Organic matter.

His most cited work include:

  • Drought sensitivity shapes species distribution patterns in tropical forests (721 citations)
  • Inositol phosphates in the environment. (545 citations)
  • Mycorrhiza-mediated competition between plants and decomposers drives soil carbon storage (464 citations)

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

Phosphorus, Ecology, Soil water, Environmental chemistry and Agronomy are his primary areas of study. Benjamin L. Turner has included themes like Panama, Phosphate, Botany and Pyrophosphate in his Phosphorus study. The various areas that Benjamin L. Turner examines in his Soil water study include Organic matter and Extraction.

In his study, Methane is strongly linked to Peat, which falls under the umbrella field of Environmental chemistry. The concepts of his Agronomy study are interwoven with issues in Nutrient and Plant litter. His study in Nutrient is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biomass, Tropics, Biogeochemical cycle and Nitrogen.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Phosphorus (40.57%)
  • Ecology (40.57%)
  • Soil water (38.90%)

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

  • Ecology (40.57%)
  • Soil water (38.90%)
  • Nutrient (25.30%)

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

Benjamin L. Turner mostly deals with Ecology, Soil water, Nutrient, Phosphorus and Agronomy. His Soil water research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Environmental chemistry, Organic matter and Biomass. His research integrates issues of Extraction, Pedogenesis, Methane and Greenhouse gas in his study of Environmental chemistry.

His Nutrient study combines topics in areas such as Tropics and Ecosystem. His research in Phosphorus intersects with topics in Tropical trees and Chronosequence. Benjamin L. Turner combines subjects such as Forest floor, Nitrogen fixation and Panama with his study of Agronomy.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Ecological succession in a changing world (43 citations)
  • The global-scale distributions of soil protists and their contributions to belowground systems (35 citations)
  • Soil nutrients and dispersal limitation shape compositional variation in secondary tropical forests across multiple scales (23 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Botany

Benjamin L. Turner mainly focuses on Ecology, Ecological succession, Soil water, Chronosequence and Plant–soil feedback. His Community structure, Biodiversity, Abiotic component, Temperate climate and Habitat study are his primary interests in Ecology. In his work, Soil chemistry and Soil organic matter is strongly intertwined with Dominance, which is a subfield of Temperate climate.

His work carried out in the field of Soil water brings together such families of science as Environmental chemistry, Carbon and Tropics. His Environmental chemistry study which covers Aeolian processes that intersects with Pedogenesis and Terrestrial ecosystem. His research investigates the connection between Pedogenesis and topics such as Silicon that intersect with issues in Cycling, Nutrient and Ecosystem.
