Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Biochemistry

Her primary areas of investigation include Botany, Cadmium, Environmental chemistry, Shoot and Phytoremediation. Her research ties Mercury and Botany together. Her Cadmium study incorporates themes from Salix purpurea, Food science, Soil contamination and Agronomy.

Maria Greger focuses mostly in the field of Environmental chemistry, narrowing it down to matters related to Soil water and, in some cases, Calamine, Heavy metals and Metal. Her Shoot research includes elements of Terrestrial plant, Chelation and Sugar, Biochemistry. Her Phytoremediation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cyperaceae, Tailings and Phytotoxicity.

Her most cited work include:

  • Accumulation properties of As, Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn by four wetland plant species growing on submerged mine tailings (398 citations)
  • Metal Availability and Bioconcentration in Plants (227 citations)
  • Influence of temperature and salinity on heavy metal uptake by submersed plants. (202 citations)

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

Maria Greger mostly deals with Botany, Cadmium, Environmental chemistry, Shoot and Agronomy. In her research on the topic of Botany, Ipomoea aquatica is strongly related with Mercury. The study incorporates disciplines such as Picea abies, Soil contamination, Metal and Bark in addition to Cadmium.

Her Environmental chemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Tailings, Soil water and Nutrient. Maria Greger interconnects Terrestrial plant, Hydroponics and Spinach in the investigation of issues within Shoot. Her work deals with themes such as Willow and Specific leaf area, which intersect with Agronomy.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (41.51%)
  • Cadmium (40.57%)
  • Environmental chemistry (33.02%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2020)?

  • Environmental chemistry (33.02%)
  • Arsenic (9.43%)
  • Plant species (6.60%)

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

Her main research concerns Environmental chemistry, Arsenic, Plant species, Wetland and Moss. Her Environmental chemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Silicon, Alum, Nutrient and Shoot. Her Arsenic research includes themes of Field conditions, Cultivar, Potassium silicate and Silica fume.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Mineral, Hydroponics, Soil classification and Phytoremediation, Heavy metals. Her studies deal with areas such as Oxygenation and Bioremediation as well as Moss. Her study looks at the intersection of Bioremediation and topics like Tailings with Botany.

Between 2016 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Silicon Influences Soil Availability and Accumulation of Mineral Nutrients in Various Plant Species (49 citations)
  • Arsenic concentrations in local aromatic and high-yielding hybrid rice cultivars and the potential health risk: a study in an arsenic hotspot (31 citations)
  • Comparison of silicon nanoparticles and silicate treatments in fenugreek. (31 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Biochemistry

Maria Greger spends much of her time researching Silicon, Mechanism, Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, Superoxide dismutase and Catalase. Her Silicon research incorporates themes from Plant species, Hydroponics, Soil classification, Alum and Shoot. Her Mechanism research encompasses a variety of disciplines, including Evolutionary biology, Resistance, Biological sciences, Insect pest and Defence mechanisms.

She has researched Evolutionary biology in several fields, including Insect and Herbivorous insects. Her Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase study combines topics in areas such as Trigonella, Biochemistry, Sodium silicate and Nuclear chemistry.
