Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

Botany, Mycorrhiza, Ecology, Mycorrhizal fungi and Staining are his primary areas of study. His Botany study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Paris type and Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. He interconnects Bushland, Germination, Arbuscular mycorrhizal and Caladenia in the investigation of issues within Mycorrhiza.

His work investigates the relationship between Ecology and topics such as Ectomycorrhiza that intersect with problems in Host and Fungus. His Mycorrhizal fungi study combines topics in areas such as Agriculture, Forestry and Agroforestry. The Staining study combines topics in areas such as Suberin, Biochemistry, Vesicular-Arbuscular Mycorrhizae and Morphology.

His most cited work include:

  • Coevolution of roots and mycorrhizas of land plants (972 citations)
  • Working with Mycorrhizas in Forestry and Agriculture (960 citations)
  • Mycorrhizal associations and other means of nutrition of vascular plants: understanding the global diversity of host plants by resolving conflicting information and developing reliable means of diagnosis (803 citations)

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

His main research concerns Botany, Ecology, Mycorrhiza, Mycorrhizal fungi and Ecosystem. As part of his studies on Botany, he often connects relevant areas like Thelymitra. His Mycorrhiza research integrates issues from Orchidaceae, Herbaceous plant, Root system and Hypha.

His Mycorrhizal fungi research includes themes of Plant community, Agroforestry and Agriculture. His studies examine the connections between Germination and genetics, as well as such issues in Caladenia, with regards to Diuris, Agronomy and Ceratobasidiaceae. Mark Brundrett combines subjects such as Arbuscular mycorrhiza and Colonisation with his study of Ectomycorrhiza.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (69.23%)
  • Ecology (44.23%)
  • Mycorrhiza (33.65%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Ecology (44.23%)
  • Botany (69.23%)
  • Ecosystem (17.31%)

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

Mark Brundrett spends much of his time researching Ecology, Botany, Ecosystem, Mycorrhiza and Vegetation. Much of his study explores Ecology relationship to Mycorrhizal fungi. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Biodiversity hotspot, Habitat and Ectomycorrhiza.

His Ecosystem research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Convergent evolution and Glomeromycota. His Mycorrhiza study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Basidiomycota and Temperate climate. His research on Vegetation also deals with topics like

  • Biome that intertwine with fields like Biomass, Subsoil, Soil carbon and Terrestrial plant,
  • Weed and Agronomy most often made with reference to Topsoil.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Evolutionary history of mycorrhizal symbioses and global host plant diversity (293 citations)
  • Global mycorrhizal plant distribution linked to terrestrial carbon stocks (38 citations)
  • Misdiagnosis of mycorrhizas and inappropriate recycling of data can lead to false conclusions. (37 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

His main research concerns Ecology, Habitat, Ecosystem, Colonisation and Botany. His work on Goodeniaceae, Taxonomic rank and Fabales is typically connected to Asterales and Fagales as part of general Ecology study, connecting several disciplines of science. His study in Ecosystem is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Convergent evolution, Biodiversity and Temperate climate.

As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Colonisation, concentrating on Arbuscular mycorrhiza and frequently concerns with Mycorrhiza. His Ectomycorrhiza study in the realm of Mycorrhiza interacts with subjects such as Tree root. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biodiversity hotspot and Plant nutrition.
