Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Fungus

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Symbiosis, Goodyera repens, Agronomy and Soil water. The study incorporates disciplines such as Host, Parasitic plant, Rhinanthus minor and Ceratobasidiaceae, Mycorrhiza in addition to Botany. His Rhinanthus minor study incorporates themes from Haustorium, Stele, Rhinanthus and Plantago.

His work on Arbuscular mycorrhizal as part of general Symbiosis research is often related to Biological evolution, thus linking different fields of science. His study in Agronomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Stomatal density and Water-use efficiency. His Soil water study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Transpiration, Nutrient and Hordeum vulgare.

His most cited work include:

  • Identification of 100 fundamental ecological questions (450 citations)
  • Mycorrhiza-induced resistance: more than the sum of its parts? (207 citations)
  • Mutualistic mycorrhiza in orchids: evidence from plant–fungus carbon and nitrogen transfers in the green‐leaved terrestrial orchid Goodyera repens (205 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Ecology, Symbiosis, Agronomy and Host. His Botany research includes elements of Haustorium, Mycorrhiza and Rhinanthus minor. His study looks at the relationship between Rhinanthus minor and topics such as Rhinanthus, which overlap with Parasitic plant.

His work in the fields of Ecosystem, Plant ecology, Abiotic component and Competition overlaps with other areas such as Plant community. His work deals with themes such as Mutualism and Evolutionary biology, which intersect with Symbiosis. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Arbuscular mycorrhiza, Rhizosphere and Nutrient.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (53.01%)
  • Ecology (28.92%)
  • Symbiosis (25.30%)

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

  • Symbiosis (25.30%)
  • Evolutionary biology (8.43%)
  • Nutrient (15.66%)

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

Duncan D. Cameron mostly deals with Symbiosis, Evolutionary biology, Nutrient, Arbuscular mycorrhiza and Environmental chemistry. He frequently studies issues relating to Host and Symbiosis. His Evolutionary biology research includes themes of Mutualism and Experimental evolution.

Within one scientific family, Duncan D. Cameron focuses on topics pertaining to Chlorella under Mutualism, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Photosynthesis. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Nutrient, Endophyte and Glomeromycotina is strongly linked to Ecosystem. The various areas that Duncan D. Cameron examines in his Arbuscular mycorrhiza study include Cultivar, Agronomy and Botany.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Metabolic regulation of the maize rhizobiome by benzoxazinoids. (56 citations)
  • The hidden potential of urban horticulture (19 citations)
  • Functional complementarity of ancient plant–fungal mutualisms: contrasting nitrogen, phosphorus and carbon exchanges between Mucoromycotina and Glomeromycotina fungal symbionts of liverworts (18 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Fungus

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Symbiosis, Arbuscular mycorrhiza, Microbiome and Evolutionary biology. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Nutrient and Glomeromycotina. His study in Ecosystem extends to Symbiosis with its themes.

His research integrates issues of Cultivar, Agronomy, Crop and Hordeum vulgare in his study of Arbuscular mycorrhiza. Soil microbiology, Metabolome, Regulator, Function and Microbial metabolism are fields of study that intersect with his Microbiome study. The concepts of his Evolutionary biology study are interwoven with issues in Mutualism, Mutualistic symbiosis and Experimental evolution.
