  • Environmental science (5.88%)
  • Photosynthesis (5.88%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Seagrass, Environmental science, Photosynthesis, Ecology and Horticulture. His research in the fields of Posidonia oceanica overlaps with other disciplines such as Reproductive success. His Photosynthesis study also includes

  • TILLING which is related to area like Ionomics, Food science and Metabolism,
  • Cadmium, which have a strong connection to Soil contamination,
  • Biochemistry and Salinity most often made with reference to Brassica rapa.

As part of one scientific family, Juan M. Ruiz deals mainly with the area of Food science, narrowing it down to issues related to the Shoot, and often Antioxidant and Lipid peroxidation. Many of his research projects under Ecology are closely connected to Effects of global warming on oceans with Effects of global warming on oceans, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His study ties his expertise on Nutrient together with the subject of Horticulture.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Recent trend reversal for declining European seagrass meadows (65 citations)
  • Interactive effects of global warming and eutrophication on a fast-growing Mediterranean seagrass. (19 citations)
  • Influence of the proline metabolism and glycine betaine on tolerance to salt stress in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) commercial genotypes. (18 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Ecology

Juan M. Ruiz mostly deals with Seagrass, Nutrient, Photosynthesis, Ecosystem and Environmental science. Juan M. Ruiz has included themes like TILLING and Brassica rapa in his Nutrient study. His Ecosystem course of study focuses on Carbon sequestration and Threatened species, Fishery and Water quality.

His research investigates the connection between Biofortification and topics such as Biochemistry that intersect with issues in Homeostasis. As part of his studies on Phytoremediation, Juan M. Ruiz frequently links adjacent subjects like Horticulture. His research in Horticulture is mostly concerned with Solanum.
