Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agriculture

Eckhard George spends much of his time researching Mycorrhiza, Nutrient, Botany, Glomus and Agronomy. His Mycorrhiza study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Shoot. His study in Botany is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Nitrate and Phosphate.

His Glomus research incorporates elements of Rhizosphere, Hyphal growth and Phycomycetes. The concepts of his Phycomycetes study are interwoven with issues in Trifolium repens and Hypha. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Agronomy, Aerenchyma formation is strongly linked to Soil water.

His most cited work include:

  • Extension of the phosphorus depletion zone in VA-mycorrhizal white clover in a calcareous soil (285 citations)
  • Uptake and transport of organic and inorganic nitrogen by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (274 citations)
  • Role of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in Uptake of Phosphorus and Nitrogen From Soil (272 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Botany, Nutrient, Agronomy, Mycorrhiza and Shoot. His research in Botany intersects with topics in Soil water and Symbiosis. His work in the fields of Nutrient, such as Plant nutrition, intersects with other areas such as Scots pine.

His studies deal with areas such as Rhizosphere and Inoculation as well as Agronomy. The various areas that Eckhard George examines in his Mycorrhiza study include Glomus, Soil biology, Arbuscular mycorrhiza and Phosphate. He studied Glomus and Phycomycetes that intersect with Trifolium repens.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (65.00%)
  • Nutrient (70.00%)
  • Agronomy (53.75%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2019)?

  • Botany (65.00%)
  • Agronomy (53.75%)
  • Mycelium (22.50%)

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

Eckhard George focuses on Botany, Agronomy, Mycelium, Horticulture and Nutrient. His Agronomy research integrates issues from Environmental chemistry and Soil fertility. His Mycelium research includes themes of Arbuscular mycorrhiza, Symbiosis and Hypha.

In general Symbiosis study, his work on Glomeromycota and Mycorrhiza often relates to the realm of Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis, thereby connecting several areas of interest. As part of the same scientific family, Eckhard George usually focuses on Mycorrhiza, concentrating on Host and intersecting with Ecosystem. Many of his studies on Nutrient involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Soil salinity.

Between 2008 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Adaptation of Plants to Adverse Chemical Soil Conditions (97 citations)
  • Phosphorus in forest ecosystems: New insights from an ecosystem nutrition perspective (94 citations)
  • Distribution of quercetin-3,4′-O-diglucoside, quercetin-4′-O-monoglucoside, and quercetin in different parts of the onion bulb (Allium cepa L.) influenced by genotype (38 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agriculture

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Botany, Nutrient, Symbiosis and Mycelium. As part of his studies on Agronomy, Eckhard George often connects relevant subjects like Soil salinity. His work deals with themes such as Arbuscular mycorrhiza, Mycorrhizosphere, Mycorrhiza and Host, which intersect with Botany.

Eckhard George focuses mostly in the field of Mycorrhizosphere, narrowing it down to matters related to Ecosystem and, in some cases, Environmental resource management. His Nutrient research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil water, Fertilizer and Salinity. His Symbiosis study combines topics in areas such as Phosphate and Spore.
