Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

Her main research concerns Mycorrhiza, Botany, Agronomy, Hypha and Glomus. Her Mycorrhiza study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Soil water, Phycomycetes and Trifolium subterraneum. Her work on Fungus and Spore as part of general Botany study is frequently connected to Infectivity, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

Lynette Abbott has included themes like Nutrient and Soil retrogression and degradation in her Agronomy study. Her research investigates the connection between Hypha and topics such as Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi that intersect with issues in Acaulospora laevis, Glomus intraradices, Bioassay and Plant roots. Arum type and Genus is closely connected to Acaulospora in her research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Glomus.

Her most cited work include:

  • External hyphae of vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi associated with trifolium subterraneum l. 1. spread of hyphae and phosphorus inflow into roots (738 citations)
  • The knowns, known unknowns and unknowns of sequestration of soil organic carbon (710 citations)
  • External hyphae of vesicular–arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi associated with Trifolium subterraneum L. (608 citations)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Botany, Mycorrhiza, Glomus and Soil water. Her work on Pasture as part of general Agronomy research is often related to Biochar, thus linking different fields of science. Botany and Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are frequently intertwined in her study.

Her Mycorrhiza study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Propagule, Inoculation, Phycomycetes and Trifolium subterraneum. Her work in Glomus is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Acaulospora. Lynette Abbott combines subjects such as Ecology and Colonization with her study of Symbiosis.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (42.78%)
  • Botany (33.16%)
  • Mycorrhiza (32.09%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Agronomy (42.78%)
  • Rhizosphere (6.95%)
  • Nutrient (11.76%)

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

Lynette Abbott mainly investigates Agronomy, Rhizosphere, Nutrient, Agriculture and Microbial inoculant. Her Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Soil water and Colonisation. Her work deals with themes such as Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, Soil microbiology and Hypha, which intersect with Colonisation.

Her research investigates the link between Hypha and topics such as Dark septate endophyte that cross with problems in Botany. Her Botany research is mostly focused on the topic Fungus. Her studies in Rhizosphere integrate themes in fields like Glomus and Compost.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • The effect of VA mycorrhizae on plant growth (119 citations)
  • Fungal inoculants in the field: Is the reward greater than the risk? (77 citations)
  • Potential roles of biological amendments for profitable grain production – A review (39 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Microbial inoculant, Agroforestry, Soil fertility and Rhizosphere. Her Agronomy research includes elements of Soil water, Colonisation, Nutrient and Hypha. The study incorporates disciplines such as Soil chemistry, Pasture and Cycling in addition to Hypha.

Her work carried out in the field of Agroforestry brings together such families of science as Agricultural economy, Biofertilizer, Sustainable agriculture, Soil biodiversity and Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Soil health and Compost. Her Soil microbiology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Fungus and Botany.
