Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Gene

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Ecology, Shade avoidance, Shoot and Rumex palustris. His Botany research focuses on Aerenchyma, Photosynthesis and Petiole. His Aerenchyma study incorporates themes from Ecophysiology, Soil water, Carex, Water content and Cyperaceae.

His Adaptation, Ecosystem, Plant ecology and Ecology study, which is part of a larger body of work in Ecology, is frequently linked to Resource Acquisition Is Initialization, bridging the gap between disciplines. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Shoot, Specific leaf area is strongly linked to Terrestrial plant. He merges Rumex palustris with Auxin in his research.

His most cited work include:

  • Flooding and Plant Growth (341 citations)
  • The Janus face of ethylene: growth inhibition and stimulation (333 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)

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

Botany, Shoot, Ecology, Agronomy and Biomass are his primary areas of study. In the field of Botany, his study on Aerenchyma and Rumex overlaps with subjects such as Rumex palustris. The concepts of his Shoot study are interwoven with issues in Plant hormone, Terrestrial plant, Acclimatization, Root system and Phenotypic plasticity.

His Agronomy research includes elements of Soil organic matter and Soil water. His Biomass research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Plant community, Flooding, Nutrient and Abundance. His Flooding research includes themes of Adaptation and Ecosystem.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (44.62%)
  • Shoot (20.77%)
  • Ecology (20.00%)

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

  • Ecology (20.00%)
  • Plant community (8.46%)
  • Agronomy (14.62%)

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Plant community, Agronomy, Biomass and Relative species abundance. He interconnects Photosynthesis and Root foraging in the investigation of issues within Ecology. His Plant community research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Global and Planetary Change, Climate change, Flooding, Drainage basin and Riparian zone.

His Biomass study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as DNA sequencing. His Relative species abundance research incorporates themes from Range, Biological system and Plant–soil feedback. His research integrates issues of Plant strategies and Leaf mass per area in his study of Wetland.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Ethylene-mediated nitric oxide depletion pre-adapts plants to hypoxia stress (58 citations)
  • Plant-soil feedback is shut down when nutrients come to town (12 citations)
  • A disturbed auxin signaling affects adventitious root outgrowth in Solanum dulcamara under complete submergence. (11 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Gene

Eric J. W. Visser focuses on Plant community, Biomass, Cell biology, Agronomy and Mesocosm. His work deals with themes such as Global and Planetary Change, Climate change, Flooding, Drainage basin and Riparian zone, which intersect with Plant community. His study focuses on the intersection of Biomass and fields such as Soil biology with connections in the field of Festuca rubra, Anthoxanthum odoratum and Nutrient.

The various areas that Eric J. W. Visser examines in his Cell biology study include Transcription factor and Nitric oxide. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biodiversity and Species richness. Mesocosm is a subfield of Ecology that Eric J. W. Visser investigates.
