Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Photosynthesis

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Photosynthesis, Ecology, Algae and Total inorganic carbon. His Botany research incorporates themes from Cyanobacteria, Isotopes of carbon and Nitrogen. John A. Raven combines subjects such as Environmental chemistry, Seawater and Phosphorus with his study of Photosynthesis.

He frequently studies issues relating to Phototroph and Ecology. As a part of the same scientific family, John A. Raven mostly works in the field of Algae, focusing on Ecology and, on occasion, Plant science. His Total inorganic carbon research includes themes of Chlorophyta and Aquatic ecosystem.

His most cited work include:

  • The Evolution of Modern Eukaryotic Phytoplankton (1040 citations)
  • CO2 CONCENTRATING MECHANISMS IN ALGAE: Mechanisms, Environmental Modulation, and Evolution (1000 citations)
  • Ocean acidification due to increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (997 citations)

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

His main research concerns Botany, Photosynthesis, Ecology, Algae and Total inorganic carbon. The study incorporates disciplines such as Carbon dioxide and Nitrogen in addition to Botany. His Nitrogen study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Assimilation and Nitrate.

The various areas that John A. Raven examines in his Photosynthesis study include Cyanobacteria, Biophysics and Environmental chemistry. His Ecology study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Phototroph. The Total inorganic carbon study combines topics in areas such as Ocean acidification, Dissolved organic carbon and Carbonic anhydrase.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (47.83%)
  • Photosynthesis (51.87%)
  • Ecology (33.33%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Photosynthesis (51.87%)
  • Algae (30.64%)
  • Ecology (33.33%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Photosynthesis, Algae, Ecology, Botany and Total inorganic carbon. John A. Raven has researched Photosynthesis in several fields, including Cyanobacteria, Biophysics and Chloroplast. His Algae study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ecology, Genome, Multicellular organism and Bacteriochlorophyll.

His Carbon sequestration research extends to Ecology, which is thematically connected. His study looks at the relationship between Botany and fields such as Carbon dioxide, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. John A. Raven combines subjects such as Dissolved organic carbon, Ocean acidification and Relative species abundance with his study of Total inorganic carbon.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Algae as nutritional and functional food sources: revisiting our understanding (453 citations)
  • Algae as nutritional and functional food sources: revisiting our understanding (453 citations)
  • Early photosynthetic eukaryotes inhabited low-salinity habitats (137 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Photosynthesis

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Algae, Photosynthesis, Total inorganic carbon and Ecosystem. In the subject of general Ecology, his work in Experimental evolution, Phytoplankton, Carbon fixation and Food web is often linked to Food preparation, thereby combining diverse domains of study. John A. Raven has researched Algae in several fields, including Biodiversity, Ecology, Multicellular organism and Anoxygenic photosynthesis.

John A. Raven merges many fields, such as Photosynthesis and Mediterranean sea, in his writings. His study in Total inorganic carbon is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Fucales, Organism, RuBisCO, Brown algae and Carbonic anhydrase. His work in Ecosystem addresses subjects such as Ocean acidification, which are connected to disciplines such as Algal bloom, Carbon cycle, Environmental chemistry and Eutrophication.
