Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Gene
  • Botany

Christian Steinberg focuses on Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium, Agronomy, Botany and Microbiology. His study in Fusarium oxysporum is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Verticillium dahliae, Fungi imperfecti and Biological pest control. His work deals with themes such as Soil biology, Soil water and Soil classification, which intersect with Agronomy.

His Botany research incorporates elements of Restriction fragment, Rhizosphere and Genetic diversity. His research integrates issues of Beneficial organism, Microorganism and Phyllosphere in his study of Rhizosphere. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Rhizoctonia solani and Trichoderma.

His most cited work include:

  • The rhizosphere: a playground and battlefield for soilborne pathogens and beneficial microorganisms (891 citations)
  • Soil health through soil disease suppression: Which strategy from descriptors to indicators? (375 citations)
  • Response of soil microbial communities to compost amendments (290 citations)

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

Christian Steinberg spends much of his time researching Fusarium oxysporum, Botany, Fusarium, Microbiology and Agronomy. His work carried out in the field of Fusarium oxysporum brings together such families of science as Fungi imperfecti, Gene and Biological pest control. The concepts of his Botany study are interwoven with issues in Genotype, Rhizosphere and Genetic diversity.

His work in Fusarium covers topics such as Inoculation which are related to areas like Intraspecific competition. His Microbiology study incorporates themes from Veterinary medicine, Antibiosis, Bacteria and Trichoderma. Christian Steinberg interconnects Soil biology, Crop residue and Soil classification in the investigation of issues within Agronomy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Fusarium oxysporum (39.02%)
  • Botany (21.95%)
  • Fusarium (22.76%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Fusarium oxysporum (39.02%)
  • Botany (21.95%)
  • Fusarium (22.76%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Fusarium oxysporum, Botany, Fusarium, Genetics and Magnetoencephalography. He combines subjects such as Veterinary medicine, Ribosomal RNA and Microbiology with his study of Fusarium oxysporum. His Botany research incorporates themes from Relative species abundance and Soil microbiology.

His Fusarium research incorporates themes from Inoculation, Agronomy, Contamination, Species complex and Mycotoxin. His research in Agronomy intersects with topics in Species richness, Pyrosequencing, Crop residue and Phyllosphere. The Magnetoencephalography study combines topics in areas such as Stimulus and Prefrontal cortex, Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • N2O production, a widespread trait in fungi. (101 citations)
  • Fungicide effects on fungal community composition in the wheat phyllosphere. (64 citations)
  • Bioherbicides: Dead in the water? A review of the existing products for integrated weed management (59 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Ecology
  • Botany

Christian Steinberg mostly deals with Botany, Fusarium, Agronomy, Mycotoxin and Weed. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Relative species abundance, Gene and Soil microbiology. The Soil microbiology study which covers Penicillium that intersects with Fusarium oxysporum.

His work carried out in the field of Fusarium oxysporum brings together such families of science as Ecology, Sordariales and Trichoderma. His study in Fusarium is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Acremonium, Cladosporium, Stenotrophomonas and Verticillium. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Pyrosequencing, Species richness and Phyllosphere.
