Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Bacteria
  • Oxygen

Bess B. Ward mostly deals with Environmental chemistry, Ecology, Nitrogen, Nitrification and Denitrification. Her work carried out in the field of Environmental chemistry brings together such families of science as Inorganic chemistry, Nitrite, Nitrate and Oxygen. The Ecology study combines topics in areas such as Library and Microbial ecology.

The concepts of her Nitrogen study are interwoven with issues in Phytoplankton, Oceanography and Organic matter. Her studies in Nitrification integrate themes in fields like Benthic zone and Sponge. Her Denitrification study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Water column and Copper.

Her most cited work include:

  • Impacts of atmospheric anthropogenic nitrogen on the open ocean. (745 citations)
  • Nitrogen cycling in the ocean: New perspectives on processes and paradigms (372 citations)
  • Nitrogen Uptake, Dissolved Organic Nitrogen Release, and New Production (341 citations)

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

Her main research concerns Environmental chemistry, Ecology, Denitrification, Nitrogen cycle and Oceanography. Her research in Environmental chemistry intersects with topics in Nitrification, Nitrogen, Ammonium, Water column and Nitrite. Her Nitrogen study combines topics in areas such as Organic matter and Nutrient.

The various areas that Bess B. Ward examines in her Ecology study include Microbial ecology and Microbial population biology. Her Denitrifying bacteria study in the realm of Denitrification connects with subjects such as Anammox. Her research investigates the connection between Nitrate and topics such as Phytoplankton that intersect with issues in Diatom.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental chemistry (36.60%)
  • Ecology (32.68%)
  • Denitrification (29.41%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Environmental chemistry (36.60%)
  • Denitrification (29.41%)
  • Anoxic waters (13.73%)

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

Bess B. Ward spends much of her time researching Environmental chemistry, Denitrification, Anoxic waters, Nitrogen and Nitrogen cycle. Bess B. Ward interconnects Nitrous oxide, Nitrite, Archaea and Nitrogen fixation in the investigation of issues within Environmental chemistry. Bess B. Ward combines subjects such as Organic matter and Nitrate with her study of Denitrification.

Her Anoxic waters study is concerned with Ecology in general. Her Ecology study incorporates themes from Ecophysiology and Diazotroph. Bess B. Ward works in the field of Nitrogen, namely Nitrification.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Biological nitrogen fixation in the oxygen-minimum region of the eastern tropical North Pacific ocean. (28 citations)
  • Multiple metabolisms constrain the anaerobic nitrite budget in the Eastern Tropical South Pacific (26 citations)
  • Dependence of nitrite oxidation on nitrite and oxygen in low‐oxygen seawater (24 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Bacteria
  • Oxygen

Bess B. Ward mainly investigates Environmental chemistry, Denitrification, Nitrogen fixation, Anoxic waters and Nitrogen. Environmental chemistry is closely attributed to Nitrogen cycle in her work. The Nitrogen cycle study combines topics in areas such as Nutrient and Eutrophication.

Her research integrates issues of Nitrous oxide and Nitrate in her study of Denitrification. Her Anoxic waters research includes themes of Nitrite, Microbial ecology and Ecosystem. Her work investigates the relationship between Nitrogen and topics such as Subarctic climate that intersect with problems in Nitrification.
