Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Mark O. Gessner mainly focuses on Ecology, Ecosystem, Plant litter, Litter and Decomposer. His Biodiversity, Detritivore, Riparian zone and Biomass study in the realm of Ecology interacts with subjects such as Biodiversity action plan. His Ecosystem study combines topics in areas such as Aquatic ecosystem and Species diversity.

His research investigates the link between Plant litter and topics such as Alnus glutinosa that cross with problems in Abiotic component and Freshwater ecosystem. His work carried out in the field of Litter brings together such families of science as Organic matter, Nutrient and Botany. His Decomposer research includes elements of Global warming, Trophic level, Microcosm and Carbon cycle.

His most cited work include:

  • Freshwater biodiversity: importance, threats, status and conservation challenges (3920 citations)
  • Global threats to human water security and river biodiversity (3713 citations)
  • Riparian plant litter quality increases with latitude. (1037 citations)

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

Mark O. Gessner mainly investigates Ecology, Ecosystem, Plant litter, Litter and Biodiversity. His research on Ecology frequently links to adjacent areas such as STREAMS. His primary area of study in Ecosystem is in the field of Decomposer.

Mark O. Gessner combines subjects such as Organic matter, Alder, Botany, Biomass and Environmental chemistry with his study of Plant litter. His studies deal with areas such as Biomass, Decomposition, Terrestrial plant and Alnus glutinosa as well as Litter. His Biodiversity research incorporates elements of Threatened species, Species richness, Environmental resource management and Environmental planning.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (88.61%)
  • Ecosystem (70.04%)
  • Plant litter (59.07%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Ecology (88.61%)
  • Ecosystem (70.04%)
  • Nutrient (20.68%)

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

His main research concerns Ecology, Ecosystem, Nutrient, Plant litter and Litter. He performs multidisciplinary study on Ecology and Latitude in his works. His Ecosystem research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Biota, Land use, Land management and Biogeochemical cycle.

His Nutrient research focuses on subjects like Environmental chemistry, which are linked to Pollution-induced community tolerance, Decomposer and Arid. The concepts of his Plant litter study are interwoven with issues in Ecosystem process and Evolutionary ecology. He interconnects Decomposition, STREAMS, Terrestrial plant, Biomass and Detritivore in the investigation of issues within Litter.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Methods to Study Litter Decomposition: A Practical Guide (308 citations)
  • Impacts of multiple stressors on freshwater biota across spatial scales and ecosystems. (45 citations)
  • Impacts of multiple stressors on freshwater biota across spatial scales and ecosystems. (45 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

His primary scientific interests are in Nutrient, Environmental chemistry, Organic matter, Ecosystem and Plant litter. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Nutrient, concentrating on Biogeochemical cycle and frequently concerns with Biogeography, Aquatic ecosystem, Species richness, Global biodiversity and Biodiversity. Mark O. Gessner has included themes like Arid, Leaching, Climate change and Litter in his Environmental chemistry study.

His Organic matter study incorporates themes from Riparian zone, Respiration, Plant cover, Biome and Carbon dioxide. His study with Ecosystem involves better knowledge in Ecology. His research integrates issues of Decomposition, Interspecific competition, Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Lignin in his study of Plant litter.
