Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Enzyme

Her primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Botany, Species richness, Ecosystem and Nitrogen fixation. As a part of the same scientific family, Kerstin Huss-Danell mostly works in the field of Ecology, focusing on Genetic diversity and, on occasion, Local adaptation, Ecotype, Plantago and Ecotypic variation. Her Botany research includes themes of Actinorhizal plant, Symbiosis, Root nodule and Nitrogenase.

Her Nitrogenase study incorporates themes from Frankia and Root hair. Her research integrates issues of Biomass, Productivity, Grassland and Species diversity in her study of Species richness. The Productivity study combines topics in areas such as Global biodiversity, Plant diversity, Nitrogen cycle and Alpha diversity.

Her most cited work include:

  • Plant diversity and productivity experiments in european grasslands (1572 citations)
  • ECOSYSTEM EFFECTS OF BIODIVERSITY MANIPULATIONS IN EUROPEAN GRASSLANDS (411 citations)
  • Local adaptation enhances performance of common plant species (364 citations)

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

Kerstin Huss-Danell focuses on Botany, Frankia, Alnus incana, Nitrogen fixation and Nitrogenase. Her studies deal with areas such as Stereocaulon paschale, Inoculation and Ecology as well as Botany. Her biological study deals with issues like Genetic diversity, which deal with fields such as Microorganism.

Her Frankia research incorporates elements of Actinorhizal plant, Biochemistry and Microbiology. Her research in Alnus incana focuses on subjects like Shoot, which are connected to Betula pendula. Kerstin Huss-Danell has researched Grassland in several fields, including Biodiversity and Species richness.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (55.37%)
  • Frankia (44.63%)
  • Alnus incana (41.32%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2003-2019)?

  • Botany (55.37%)
  • Agronomy (23.14%)
  • Ecology (17.36%)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Botany, Agronomy, Ecology, Nitrogen fixation and Ecosystem. Her Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Actinorhizal plant, Frankia, Genetic diversity and Rhizobia, Symbiosis. Her research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Alnus incana and Frankia.

In her study, Herbivore and Poaceae is inextricably linked to Neotyphodium, which falls within the broad field of Agronomy. Biodiversity, Species richness, Grassland, Biomass and Plant diversity are the subjects of her Ecology studies. Kerstin Huss-Danell focuses mostly in the field of Nitrogen fixation, narrowing it down to matters related to Legume and, in some cases, N2 Fixation, Ecology, Hippophae rhamnoides, Robinia and Inoculation.

Between 2003 and 2019, her most popular works were:

  • ECOSYSTEM EFFECTS OF BIODIVERSITY MANIPULATIONS IN EUROPEAN GRASSLANDS (411 citations)
  • General stabilizing effects of plant diversity on grassland productivity through population asynchrony and overyielding (298 citations)
  • Plant species effects on soil nematode communities in experimental grasslands (125 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Enzyme

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Ecosystem, Biomass, Species diversity and Species richness. Her studies in Ecology integrate themes in fields like Endophyte, Botany, Actinorhizal plant and Frankia. Her Botany research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Microorganism, Symbiosis, Root nodule and Genetic diversity.

Her study explores the link between Ecosystem and topics such as Biodiversity that cross with problems in Competitive exclusion, Productivity and Primary production. Her work carried out in the field of Biomass brings together such families of science as Soil classification, Nitrogen fixation, Soil biology and Soil fertility. Her Species richness study often links to related topics such as Grassland.
