What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Bacteria
Her main research concerns Phytoplankton, Cyanobacteria, Ecology, Microcystin and Daphnia.
As part of her studies on Phytoplankton, she often connects relevant areas like Plankton.
Her studies deal with areas such as Dissolved organic carbon and Algae as well as Plankton.
In her research, Cladocera is intimately related to Toxin, which falls under the overarching field of Cyanobacteria.
Her research related to Trophic level, Eutrophication, Benthic zone, Zooplankton and Pelagic zone might be considered part of Ecology.
Her Microcystin research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Microcystis aeruginosa and Microcystis.
Her most cited work include:
- Measurements of chlorophyll―a from phytoplankton using ethanol as extraction solvent (653 citations)
- From Greenland to green lakes: Cultural eutrophication and the loss of benthic pathways in lakes (475 citations)
- The Impact of Nutrient State and Lake Depth on Top-down Control in the Pelagic Zone of Lakes: A Study of 466 Lakes from the Temperate Zone to the Arctic (279 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Her scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Zooplankton, Phytoplankton, Arctic and Plankton.
Pelagic zone, Benthic zone, Trophic level, Climate change and Eutrophication are the primary areas of interest in her Ecology study.
Her Phytoplankton study incorporates themes from Biomass, Periphyton, Algae and Food web.
She interconnects Peer review, Biodiversity and Nutrient in the investigation of issues within Arctic.
Kirsten Christoffersen has researched Plankton in several fields, including Abundance, Heterotroph and Botany.
The concepts of her Daphnia study are interwoven with issues in Toxin and Microcystis aeruginosa.
She most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (59.06%)
- Zooplankton (25.98%)
- Phytoplankton (24.41%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?
- Ecology (59.06%)
- Arctic (23.62%)
- Biodiversity (9.45%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Kirsten Christoffersen focuses on Ecology, Arctic, Biodiversity, Climate change and Zooplankton.
Her Phytoplankton, Biomonitoring, Paleolimnology and Diatom study in the realm of Ecology connects with subjects such as Context.
Her research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Invertebrate and Phytoplankton.
Kirsten Christoffersen combines subjects such as Productivity, Moss, Vegetation, Peer review and Nutrient with her study of Arctic.
Her Climate change research integrates issues from Environmental monitoring, Environmental resource management, Ecosystem and Eutrophication.
Her Zooplankton study frequently links to related topics such as Benthic zone.
Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:
- Temperature Effects Explain Continental Scale Distribution of Cyanobacterial Toxins (87 citations)
- Increasing dominance of terrigenous organic matter in circumpolar freshwaters due to permafrost thaw (58 citations)
- A European Multi Lake Survey dataset of environmental variables, phytoplankton pigments and cyanotoxins (14 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Kirsten Christoffersen mostly deals with Zooplankton, Benthic zone, Phytoplankton, Fishery and Organic matter.
Her Zooplankton study is associated with Ecology.
Kirsten Christoffersen studies Lepidurus, a branch of Ecology.
Her Benthic zone course of study focuses on Plankton and Meltwater.
The various areas that she examines in her Phytoplankton study include Biomass, Glacial period, Rainbow trout and Lake ecosystem.
Her Organic matter research includes themes of Productivity, Arctic, Environmental chemistry, Dissolved organic carbon and Food web.
