The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Genus

Felix Bärlocher mainly focuses on Botany, Hyphomycetes, Ecology, Environmental chemistry and Conidium. His Mycelium study, which is part of a larger body of work in Botany, is frequently linked to Gammarus pseudolimnaeus, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Hyphomycetes research incorporates elements of Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis, Horticulture, Beech, Phylotype and Alder.

His work on Deciduous, Dung beetle and Dry season as part of general Ecology study is frequently connected to Fungal population and Dynamics, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His research in Environmental chemistry intersects with topics in Phytochelatin, Litter decomposition, Pollutant, Xenobiotic and Biodegradation. The concepts of his Conidium study are interwoven with issues in Substrate and Spore.

His most cited work include:

  • Methods to Study Litter Decomposition: A Practical Guide (308 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Hyphomycetes, Ecology, Plant litter, Ecosystem and Environmental chemistry. The subject of his Hyphomycetes research is within the realm of Botany. His work deals with themes such as Organic matter and DNA extraction, which intersect with Botany.

His work carried out in the field of Plant litter brings together such families of science as Biomass, Microcosm and Detritus. As a part of the same scientific study, Felix Bärlocher usually deals with the Ecosystem, concentrating on Soil salinity and frequently concerns with Decomposition. His Species richness study combines topics in areas such as Microorganism, Polymerase chain reaction, Conidium and Bioinformatics.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Methods to Study Litter Decomposition: A Practical Guide (308 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Genus

Felix Bärlocher mainly focuses on Ecology, Hyphomycetes, Environmental chemistry, Invertebrate and Climate change. Felix Bärlocher combines Hyphomycetes and Genetic diversity in his studies. He has included themes like Organic matter, Particulate organic matter, Litter decomposition, Fungal ecology and Fungal Diversity in his Environmental chemistry study.

His Invertebrate study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Resource, Temperate climate, Riparian zone, Litter and Eutrophication. His study in Climate change is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Taxon and Land use. His Ecosystem research incorporates themes from Hyphal growth and Detritus.
