The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Botany, Biodiversity, Glomeromycota and Species richness.
Maarja Öpik has included themes like Glomeraceae and Metagenomics in her Ecology study.
Maarja Öpik has researched Botany in several fields, including Biomass, Generalist and specialist species and Mycorrhiza.
Her Generalist and specialist species study combines topics in areas such as Range and Species diversity.
As a member of one scientific family, Maarja Öpik mostly works in the field of Biodiversity, focusing on Abiotic component and, on occasion, Taiga, Vegetation, Oxalis acetosella and Forest management.
Her Species richness research focuses on Taxon and how it relates to Vascular plant and Pyrosequencing.
Her most cited work include:
- The online database MaarjAM reveals global and ecosystemic distribution patterns in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomeromycota) (579 citations)
- Composition of root-colonizing arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities in different ecosystems around the globe (423 citations)
- Large-scale parallel 454 sequencing reveals host ecological group specificity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in a boreonemoral forest. (401 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Her scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Botany, Species richness, Biodiversity and Ecosystem.
Her work carried out in the field of Ecology brings together such families of science as Glomeraceae and Glomeromycota.
Her studies in Botany integrate themes in fields like Arbuscular mycorrhiza, Mycorrhiza, Generalist and specialist species and Pyrosequencing.
Her Species richness research focuses on subjects like Understory, which are linked to Forest management.
Her research investigates the connection between Biodiversity and topics such as Community that intersect with issues in Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.
Her research in Ecosystem intersects with topics in Plant community, Agroforestry, Phylogenetic tree and Biogeography.
She most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (58.21%)
- Botany (41.79%)
- Species richness (29.85%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2019-2021)?
- Ecology (58.21%)
- Ecosystem (18.66%)
- Taxon (14.93%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Maarja Öpik mostly deals with Ecology, Ecosystem, Taxon, Agronomy and Botany.
Her study in Species diversity, Ecological niche, Biome, Grassland and Abiotic component falls within the category of Ecology.
Her Ecosystem study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Soil carbon, Phylogenetic diversity, Phylogenetic tree, Ruderal species and Beta diversity.
Her Taxon research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Evolutionary biology, Habitat and Sequence.
Her work in Habitat addresses issues such as Environmental studies, which are connected to fields such as Biodiversity.
Her work on Drought stress as part of general Botany study is frequently connected to Plasticity, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.
Between 2019 and 2021, her most popular works were:
- Unambiguous identification of fungi: where do we stand and how accurate and precise is fungal DNA barcoding? (30 citations)
- Plant functional groups associate with distinct arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities. (11 citations)
- Fungal diversity in peatlands and its contribution to carbon cycling (9 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Her primary scientific interests are in Ecosystem, Phylogenetic tree, Ecology, Abiotic component and Botany.
Her study in Ecosystem is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Alpha diversity, Phylogenetic diversity, Ruderal species, Beta diversity and Forb.
Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Mutualism, Ecological network, Arbuscular mycorrhiza and Cheating.
Her Ecology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Gigasporaceae and Acaulosporaceae.
Her Abiotic component research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Glomeraceae, Soil water, Indicator species and Grazing.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Biogeography, Macroecology, Mycorrhizal fungi, Global diversity and Arbuscular mycorrhizal in addition to Botany.
