Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Fungus

Botany, Mycorrhiza, Glomus, Rhizosphere and Agronomy are his primary areas of study. Many of his studies on Botany apply to Microbial inoculant as well. The various areas that José Miguel Barea examines in his Mycorrhiza study include Shrub, Soil contamination, Leghemoglobin, Woody plant and Horticulture.

His Glomus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Symbiosis, Phycomycetes, Mycelium and Rhizobium. His Rhizosphere research incorporates themes from Arbuscular mycorrhiza, Mycorrhizosphere, Microorganism and Spore germination. His studies in Agronomy integrate themes in fields like Nutrient, Soil water, Anthyllis cytisoides and Propagule.

His most cited work include:

  • Acquisition of phosphorus and nitrogen in the rhizosphere and plant growth promotion by microorganisms (987 citations)
  • Arbuscular mycorrhizas and biological control of soil-borne plant pathogens – an overview of the mechanisms involved (611 citations)
  • Mycorrhizosphere interactions to improve plant fitness and soil quality. (333 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Mycorrhiza, Glomus, Agronomy and Rhizosphere. His Botany study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ecology and Symbiosis. The concepts of his Mycorrhiza study are interwoven with issues in Shrub and Inoculation, Shoot, Rhizobium, Horticulture.

His Glomus study also includes

  • Mycelium which is related to area like Propagule and Colonization,
  • Spore germination which connect with Hyphal growth. His study looks at the relationship between Agronomy and fields such as Nutrient, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His study in Rhizosphere is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Arbuscular mycorrhiza, Mycorrhizosphere, Microorganism and Microbial inoculant.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (57.93%)
  • Mycorrhiza (43.90%)
  • Glomus (32.32%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2019)?

  • Botany (57.93%)
  • Ecology (14.02%)
  • Rhizosphere (26.83%)

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

His main research concerns Botany, Ecology, Rhizosphere, Spore and Glomeromycota. His Botany research includes elements of Arbuscular mycorrhiza, Salinity, Mycorrhiza and Diversisporaceae. His Mycorrhiza study incorporates themes from Microbial ecology and Bioindicator.

His study in the field of Shrub, Biodiversity and Ecosystem also crosses realms of Business. His Rhizosphere research integrates issues from Mycorrhizosphere and Agronomy. Many of his research projects under Spore are closely connected to Monophyly with Monophyly, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

Between 2009 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Evaluation of actinomycete strains for key traits related with plant growth promotion and mycorrhiza helping activities (146 citations)
  • Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi native from a Mediterranean saline area enhance maize tolerance to salinity through improved ion homeostasis (119 citations)
  • Native arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi isolated from a saline habitat improved maize antioxidant systems and plant tolerance to salinity (108 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Fungus

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Salinity, Rhizosphere, Mycorrhiza and Stomatal conductance. José Miguel Barea interconnects Pyrosequencing, Symbiosis and Nutrient in the investigation of issues within Botany. His research in Rhizosphere is mostly focused on Rhizobacteria.

As a member of one scientific family, José Miguel Barea mostly works in the field of Rhizobacteria, focusing on Biotechnology and, on occasion, Agronomy, Microbial inoculant and Sustainable agriculture. Bioremediation is closely connected to Microorganism in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Mycorrhiza. In his study, Fungus is inextricably linked to Arbuscular mycorrhiza, which falls within the broad field of Stomatal conductance.
