Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

Inderjit focuses on Allelopathy, Ecology, Botany, Bioassay and Ecosystem. His Allelopathy study is related to the wider topic of Agronomy. His work on Introduced species, Invasive species, Soil biology and Ecology as part of general Ecology study is frequently linked to Biological evolution, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His research brings together the fields of Edaphic and Botany. His work carried out in the field of Bioassay brings together such families of science as Biotechnology and Germination. His Ecosystem research incorporates themes from Photosynthesis, Plant species and Ageratina.

His most cited work include:

  • Global exchange and accumulation of non-native plants (429 citations)
  • Ecophysiological aspects of allelopathy (420 citations)
  • Plant phenolics in allelopathy (351 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Allelopathy, Botany, Agronomy, Ecology and Weed. His Allelopathy study combines topics in areas such as Perennial plant, Soil water, Bioassay and Seedling. The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Rhizosphere and Competition.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Nutrient and Soil chemistry. The various areas that Inderjit examines in his Weed study include Rhizome, Agriculture, Weed control and Biological pest control. His work in the fields of Native plant overlaps with other areas such as Biological dispersal.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Allelopathy (53.39%)
  • Botany (36.44%)
  • Agronomy (35.59%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Ecology (34.75%)
  • Introduced species (11.86%)
  • Biodiversity (6.78%)

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

Inderjit mostly deals with Ecology, Introduced species, Biodiversity, Species richness and Invasive species. He merges Ecology with Cretaceous in his research. His Introduced species study results in a more complete grasp of Botany.

His research integrates issues of Monoculture, Inoculation, Competition and Colonization in his study of Botany. His research in Biodiversity intersects with topics in Flora, Weed, Native plant, Tropics and Developing country. His work deals with themes such as Stellaria media, Carex, Species diversity and Persicaria, which intersect with Species richness.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Global exchange and accumulation of non-native plants (429 citations)
  • Naturalized alien flora of the world: species diversity, taxonomic and phylogenetic patterns, geographic distribution and global hotspots of plant invasion (155 citations)
  • New pasture plants intensify invasive species risk. (65 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

His main research concerns Introduced species, Ecology, Invasive species, Species richness and Plant soil. His Introduced species study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Agriculture, Livestock, Environmental impact assessment and Agricultural science. His research on Ecology frequently links to adjacent areas such as Botany.

Inderjit combines subjects such as Agroforestry, Stellaria media, Weed, Weed control and Sustainability with his study of Invasive species. Inderjit interconnects Biodiversity, Flora and Native plant in the investigation of issues within Species richness. His Plant soil research includes elements of Plant ecology, Plant community, Plant growth and Soil processes.
