Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Ecology
Ecosystem
Biodiversity

Peat, Ecology, Sphagnum, Bog and Ecosystem are his primary areas of study. His studies deal with areas such as Organic matter and Environmental change as well as Peat. His Ecology study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Agronomy.

His Sphagnum study incorporates themes from Biomass and Moss. His Bog study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Climate change, Grassland, Species diversity, Water content and Lawn. His Ecosystem research incorporates themes from Phototroph and Microcosm.

His most cited work include:

TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (179 citations)
Interactive effects of water table and precipitation on net CO2 assimilation of three co‐occurring Sphagnum mosses differing in distribution above the water table (94 citations)
Decreased summer water table depth affects peatland vegetation (93 citations)

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

Bjorn J. M. Robroek mostly deals with Peat, Ecology, Ecosystem, Sphagnum and Bog. Bjorn J. M. Robroek has researched Peat in several fields, including Biomass, Climate change, Carbon cycle, Vascular plant and Wetland. His work on Plant community, Vegetation and Grassland as part of general Ecology study is frequently connected to Transplantation and Microbial population biology, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

His Ecosystem research integrates issues from Biodiversity, Soil chemistry and Agronomy. His Agronomy research includes themes of Soil carbon, Soil water, Soil fertility and Carbon sink. His Sphagnum study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ombrotrophic, Moss, Botany and Microcosm.

He most often published in these fields:

Peat (100.00%)
Ecology (96.26%)
Ecosystem (81.31%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

Peat (100.00%)
Ecosystem (81.31%)
Global warming (25.23%)

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

Bjorn J. M. Robroek mainly investigates Peat, Ecosystem, Global warming, Ecosystem respiration and Ecology. Bjorn J. M. Robroek studies Sphagnum, a branch of Peat. The various areas that Bjorn J. M. Robroek examines in his Ecosystem study include Paleoclimatology, Wetland and Phylogenetic tree.

His Ecosystem respiration study combines topics in areas such as Dissolved organic carbon, Sink and Water level. His work in Ecology tackles topics such as Plant microbe which are related to areas like Ecosystem dynamics. Bjorn J. M. Robroek combines subjects such as Organic matter, Soil carbon, Agronomy, Mineralization and Soil organic matter with his study of Climate change.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (179 citations)
Tipping point in plant-fungal interactions under severe drought causes abrupt rise in peatland ecosystem respiration. (41 citations)
A global database for metacommunity ecology, integrating species, traits, environment and space (28 citations)

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

Ecology
Ecosystem
Biodiversity

His main research concerns Peat, Ecosystem respiration, Global warming, Plant community and Vascular plant. Specifically, his work in Peat is concerned with the study of Sphagnum. Ecosystem respiration is a subfield of Ecosystem that Bjorn J. M. Robroek studies.

He works mostly in the field of Ecosystem, limiting it down to topics relating to Sink and, in certain cases, Ecology. His work on Dissolved organic carbon, Community structure and Community as part of general Ecology research is frequently linked to Cycling and Taxonomic rank, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. The Plant community study combines topics in areas such as Environmental chemistry, Assimilation, Climate change and Atmospheric carbon cycle.
