Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Redox
  • Agriculture

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Environmental chemistry, Mercury, Soil water, Organic matter and Peat. He combines subjects such as Hydrology, Seawater and Mineralogy with his study of Environmental chemistry. His work deals with themes such as Drainage basin, Water pollution and Soil contamination, which intersect with Mercury.

His Soil water course of study focuses on Leaching and Mercury sulfide, Chloride, Soil test and Roasting. His research integrates issues of Decomposition, Glacial period, Holocene and Soil pH in his study of Peat. His Bog research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Humus, Radiometric dating, Deposition and Biogeochemistry.

His most cited work include:

  • Determination of Mercury Binding Forms in Contaminated Soils: Mercury Pyrolysis versus Sequential Extractions (247 citations)
  • Binding and mobility of mercury in soils contaminated by emissions from chlor-alkali plants. (202 citations)
  • Investigation of the light-enhanced emission of mercury from naturally enriched substrates (193 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Environmental chemistry, Mercury, Soil water, Peat and Organic matter. His Environmental chemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Hydrology, Soil contamination, Iodine and Mineralogy. He interconnects Sediment, Pollution and Roasting in the investigation of issues within Mercury.

In general Soil water, his work in Leaching is often linked to Sorption linking many areas of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Decomposition, Humus, Chlorine and Lignin in addition to Peat. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Soil organic matter, Soil pH, Total organic carbon and Bromine.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental chemistry (67.92%)
  • Mercury (41.51%)
  • Soil water (25.47%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Environmental chemistry (67.92%)
  • Peat (24.53%)
  • Mercury (41.51%)

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

Harald Biester mainly investigates Environmental chemistry, Peat, Mercury, Hydrology and Dissolved organic carbon. His Environmental chemistry research includes themes of Soil water, Iodine, Cobalt, Arsenic and Chromium. His research integrates issues of Organic matter and Pore water pressure in his study of Peat.

Harald Biester works on Mercury which deals in particular with Cinnabar. His Hydrology research includes elements of Bog and Metal. He has researched Dissolved organic carbon in several fields, including Lignin and Suberin.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Introducing global peat-specific temperature and pH calibrations based on brGDGT bacterial lipids (84 citations)
  • Changes in dissolved organic matter quality in a peatland and forest headwater stream as a function of seasonality and hydrologic conditions (21 citations)
  • Bromine accumulation in acidic black colluvial soils (15 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Redox

His main research concerns Environmental chemistry, Peat, Hydrology, Soil water and Organic matter. His Environmental chemistry research integrates issues from Mercury, Cinnabar and Cadmium. His Cinnabar study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ingestion, Soil contamination and Topsoil.

His research investigates the connection between Peat and topics such as Dissolved organic carbon that intersect with problems in Leaching, Sphagnum, Lignin and Suberin. His research in Hydrology intersects with topics in Ombrotrophic and Bog. His research in Organic matter tackles topics such as Soil organic matter which are related to areas like Mineralogy, Soil classification, Bromine, Humus and Total organic carbon.
