Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Wetland

Cornelis W. P. M. Blom mainly investigates Botany, Rumex palustris, Aerenchyma, Ecology and Floodplain. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Macrophyte and Water content. His Rumex palustris study spans across into areas like Rumex, Root formation, Polygonaceae, Endogeny and Shoot.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Cyperaceae and Ecophysiology in addition to Aerenchyma. Cornelis W. P. M. Blom works mostly in the field of Ecophysiology, limiting it down to topics relating to Petiole and, in certain cases, Biomass, as a part of the same area of interest. His Ecology study which covers Flooding that intersects with Terrestrial plant.

His most cited work include:

  • Flooding: the survival strategies of plants. (396 citations)
  • Changes in growth, porosity, and radial oxygen loss from adventitious roots of selected mono‐ and dicotyledonous wetland species with contrasting types of aerenchyma (252 citations)
  • Extreme flooding events on the Rhine and the survival and distribution of riparian plant species (209 citations)

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

His main research concerns Botany, Rumex palustris, Rumex, Shoot and Flooding. His Botany research includes elements of Floodplain and Horticulture. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biomass, Agronomy, Aerenchyma formation and Photoacoustic imaging in biomedicine.

His studies in Shoot integrate themes in fields like Photosynthesis and Plant stem. His Flooding study incorporates themes from Ecology, Resistance, Growing season and Environmental resource management. His work in the fields of Riparian zone, Wetland and Plant community overlaps with other areas such as Delta.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (67.06%)
  • Rumex palustris (38.82%)
  • Rumex (29.41%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1998-2018)?

  • Botany (67.06%)
  • Ecology (18.82%)
  • Rumex palustris (38.82%)

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

Botany, Ecology, Rumex palustris, Floodplain and Biomass are his primary areas of study. His studies deal with areas such as Soil water and Waterlogging as well as Botany. Cornelis W. P. M. Blom works mostly in the field of Ecology, limiting it down to topics relating to Flooding and, in certain cases, Disturbance, Species distribution, Grassland, Flood myth and Growing season.

There are a combination of areas like Rumex, Oxygene, Petiole, Hypoxia and Carbon dioxide integrated together with his Rumex palustris study. His work investigates the relationship between Floodplain and topics such as Vegetation that intersect with problems in Nutrient cycle and Salicaceae. In his study, Perennial plant, Rumex thyrsiflorus, Rumex maritimus, Herbaceous plant and Vegetative reproduction is inextricably linked to Habitat, which falls within the broad field of Biomass.

Between 1998 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Changes in growth, porosity, and radial oxygen loss from adventitious roots of selected mono‐ and dicotyledonous wetland species with contrasting types of aerenchyma (252 citations)
  • Extreme flooding events on the Rhine and the survival and distribution of riparian plant species (209 citations)
  • Is tolerance to summer flooding correlated with distribution patterns in river floodplains? A comparative study of 20 terrestrial grassland species (160 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Wetland

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Aerenchyma, Ecology, Rumex palustris and Floodplain. Botany is closely attributed to Nutrient cycle in his research. His Aerenchyma study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cyperaceae, Photosynthesis, Waterlogging and Root system.

His Cyperaceae research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil water, Carex rostrata, Carex, Wetland and Water content. Cornelis W. P. M. Blom works in the field of Ecology, focusing on Rumex in particular. His study in Floodplain is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Grassland, Species distribution, Ranunculus and Repens.
