Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Fungus

Jan Stenlid mainly focuses on Botany, Ecology, Heterobasidion annosum, Heterobasidion irregulare and Heterobasidion. His work on Fungus, Mycelium, Picea abies and Woody plant as part of general Botany research is frequently linked to Ectomycorrhiza, bridging the gap between disciplines. Jan Stenlid has researched Picea abies in several fields, including Fungi imperfecti, Fomitopsis pinicola and Seedling.

His work on Resinicium bicolor as part of general Heterobasidion annosum study is frequently connected to Veterinary medicine, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His work carried out in the field of Heterobasidion irregulare brings together such families of science as Genetics, Species complex, Genetic marker, Genetic isolate and Virulence. His studies deal with areas such as Biological dispersal and Genome as well as Heterobasidion.

His most cited work include:

  • The paleozoic origin of enzymatic lignin decomposition reconstructed from 31 fungal genomes (1059 citations)
  • New primers to amplify the fungal ITS2 region – evaluation by 454‐sequencing of artificial and natural communities (814 citations)
  • Roots and associated fungi drive long-term carbon sequestration in boreal forest. (778 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Heterobasidion annosum, Picea abies, Ecology and Genetics. His Botany study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Horticulture. His Heterobasidion annosum research integrates issues from Forest pathology, Butt rot, Thinning and Microbiology.

As part of the same scientific family, Jan Stenlid usually focuses on Picea abies, concentrating on Gigantea and intersecting with Biological pest control. Species richness, Biodiversity, Taiga, Ecosystem and Forest ecology are among the areas of Ecology where the researcher is concentrating his efforts. His research related to Gene, Genome, Quantitative trait locus, Locus and Genotype might be considered part of Genetics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (54.97%)
  • Heterobasidion annosum (28.95%)
  • Picea abies (24.85%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Ecology (18.13%)
  • Botany (54.97%)
  • Picea abies (24.85%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Botany, Picea abies, Genetics and Biodiversity. His studies deal with areas such as Host, Colonization and Virulence as well as Botany. The various areas that Jan Stenlid examines in his Picea abies study include Seedling, Internal transcribed spacer, Fungus and Root rot.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Gigantea and Biological pest control in addition to Root rot. His Genetics research focuses on subjects like Heterobasidion annosum, which are linked to Transcriptome. His Biodiversity research focuses on Ecosystem and how it relates to Forest management.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Carbon sequestration is related to mycorrhizal fungal community shifts during long-term succession in boreal forests. (293 citations)
  • Widespread Phytophthora infestations in European nurseries put forest, semi-natural and horticultural ecosystems at high risk of Phytophthora diseases (141 citations)
  • Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning relations in European forests depend on environmental context (120 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Fungus

Jan Stenlid mostly deals with Ecology, Ecosystem, Biodiversity, Botany and Species richness. His work on Plant litter as part of general Ecosystem study is frequently linked to Carbon sequestration, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Biodiversity study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Climate change and Ecosystem services.

As part of his studies on Botany, Jan Stenlid often connects relevant subjects like Colonization. Heterobasidion annosum is the focus of his Picea abies research. In general Heterobasidion annosum study, his work on Heterobasidion often relates to the realm of Leucoanthocyanidin reductase, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
