Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Ecology
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Rhizosphere, Botany, Trichoderma, Inoculation and Agronomy. His study explores the link between Rhizosphere and topics such as Pseudomonas fluorescens that cross with problems in Genetically modified organism, Pseudomonas and Microbiology. His Botany research is mostly focused on the topic Germination.

His work deals with themes such as Agar, Bacteria, Biological pest control and Fungus, which intersect with Germination. James M. Lynch has included themes like Food science, Bioremediation, Compost, Biodegradation and Shoot in his Trichoderma study. The concepts of his Agronomy study are interwoven with issues in Microcosm, Microbial ecology and Habitat.

His most cited work include:

  • Isolation and characterization of actinomycete antagonists of a fungal root pathogen. (369 citations)
  • The use of colony development for the characterization of bacterial communities in soil and on roots. (223 citations)
  • Effect of biocontrol strains of Trichoderma on plant growth, Pythium ultimum populations, soil microbial communities and soil enzyme activities (179 citations)

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

James M. Lynch mainly focuses on Botany, Rhizosphere, Trichoderma, Horticulture and Pseudomonas fluorescens. James M. Lynch combines subjects such as Sugar beet, Phyllosphere and Agar with his study of Botany. The Rhizosphere study combines topics in areas such as Microorganism, Ecology, Microbiology and Pseudomonas.

His Trichoderma research incorporates elements of Trichoderma harzianum, Dry weight, Fungi imperfecti, Shoot and Cyanide. His Shoot study combines topics in areas such as Microcosm, Phycomycetes and Pythium. His work is dedicated to discovering how Pseudomonas fluorescens, Genetically modified organism are connected with Pseudomonadaceae and other disciplines.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (31.91%)
  • Rhizosphere (30.85%)
  • Trichoderma (19.15%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2021)?

  • Sustainability (7.45%)
  • Sustainable development (6.38%)
  • Earth observation (5.32%)

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

James M. Lynch mostly deals with Sustainability, Sustainable development, Earth observation, Botany and Trichoderma harzianum. The Sustainability study which covers Land use, land-use change and forestry that intersects with Environmental monitoring, Logging, Deforestation and Agroforestry. James M. Lynch has included themes like Ecology, Rhizosphere and Pseudomonas in his Botany study.

His study in Trichoderma harzianum is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Agronomy, Shoot, Salix fragilis and Trichoderma. He interconnects Food science, Phenanthrene, Soil classification, Willow and Agar in the investigation of issues within Trichoderma. His research in Fungi imperfecti intersects with topics in Chelation, Metal Chelator and Nuclear chemistry.

Between 2005 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Trichoderma harzianum Rifai 1295-22 mediates growth promotion of crack willow (Salix fragilis) saplings in both clean and metal-contaminated soil. (93 citations)
  • Rhizodeposition and Microbial Populations (62 citations)
  • Sustainability: Choose satellites to monitor deforestation. (52 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Ecology
  • Enzyme

His main research concerns Trichoderma, Trichoderma harzianum, Agronomy, Ectomycorrhiza and Willow. His Trichoderma research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Agar plate, Food science, Bioremediation, Agar and Straw. His Trichoderma harzianum research entails a greater understanding of Botany.

His Agronomy research includes themes of Soil classification and Salix fragilis.
