Overview

Jens Borum is affiliated with the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. Their research spans multiple interconnected fields including Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Environmental Science, and Earth and Planetary Sciences. These areas encompass studies relevant to global ecological changes and marine environments.

Their recent publications demonstrate a focus on marine and coastal plant biology and the physiological responses of plants to environmental stresses. Notable papers include "European seagrasses: an introduction to monitoring and management." published in 2024 by the IOC of UNESCO (Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission), "Physiological Adaptation and Plant Distribution along a Steep Hydrological Gradient" published in 2022 in Plants, and "Benthic primary production in Young Sound, Northeast Greenland" published in 2024 in Meddelelser om Grønland Bioscience.

Borum's research subjects prominently feature marine and coastal plant biology, plant responses to water stress, and plant water relations and carbon dynamics. Other important thematic areas include plant stress responses and tolerance, marine biology and ecology research, marine and fisheries research, and marine bivalve and aquaculture studies.

Their work has been published in several respected venues, including:

  • IOC of UNESCO (Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission)
  • Plants
  • Meddelelser om Grønland Bioscience

Borum frequently collaborates with other researchers in their field. Frequent coauthors include:

  • Dorte Krause-Jensen
  • Kaj Sand-Jensen
  • Claus Lindskov Møller
  • Lars Baastrup-Spohr
  • Michael Kühl

In terms of subfields, the scientist's work covers Global and Planetary Change, Oceanography, Plant Science, and Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics. Their research bridges fundamental plant science with ecological applications in marine environments, contributing to a better understanding of coastal ecosystems under environmental change.
