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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

His primary areas of study are Biomonitoring, Moss, Environmental chemistry, Heavy metals and Ecology. Jesús R. Aboal interconnects Pollutant and Quercus robur in the investigation of issues within Biomonitoring. His Moss research is under the purview of Botany.

His work on Pseudoscleropodium purum as part of general Environmental chemistry study is frequently connected to Air contamination, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. Jesús R. Aboal combines subjects such as Feather and Bioaccumulation with his study of Heavy metals. The various areas that Jesús R. Aboal examines in his Ecology study include Zoology and Toxicology.
