Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Photosynthesis
  • Algae

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Seagrass, Photosynthesis, Ecology, Botany and Coral reef. His research on Seagrass often connects related topics like Bay. His research integrates issues of Seawater and Total inorganic carbon in his study of Photosynthesis.

His Botany research incorporates elements of Halodule wrightii, Intertidal zone and Halophila ovalis. His Habitat research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Fisheries management, Fishery, Ecosystem and Salt marsh. His work deals with themes such as Total organic carbon, Ecosystem services, Marine ecosystem, Blue carbon and Mangrove, which intersect with Salt marsh.

His most cited work include:

  • A blueprint for blue carbon: toward an improved understanding of the role of vegetated coastal habitats in sequestering CO2 (1370 citations)
  • Measuring rates of photosynthesis of two tropical seagrasses by pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) fluorometry (155 citations)
  • Assessment of changes in the seagrass-dominated submerged vegetation of tropical Chwaka Bay (Zanzibar) using satellite remote sensing (115 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Seagrass, Botany, Ecology, Photosynthesis and Total inorganic carbon. His research on Seagrass concerns the broader Ecosystem. His Botany study incorporates themes from Seawater, Environmental chemistry and Halophila ovalis.

The concepts of his Ecology study are interwoven with issues in Bay and Fishery. The study incorporates disciplines such as Plant physiology, Carbon dioxide, Horticulture and Respiration in addition to Photosynthesis. His Total organic carbon study combines topics in areas such as Organic matter and Erosion.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seagrass (57.80%)
  • Botany (43.12%)
  • Ecology (38.53%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Seagrass (57.80%)
  • Zostera marina (16.51%)
  • Photosynthesis (37.61%)

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

Mats Björk spends much of his time researching Seagrass, Zostera marina, Photosynthesis, Ecology and Respiration. Seagrass is the subject of his research, which falls under Ecosystem. His research investigates the connection with Zostera marina and areas like Total organic carbon which intersect with concerns in Erosion.

Mats Björk studies Ecology, namely Habitat. To a larger extent, Mats Björk studies Botany with the aim of understanding Respiration. As a member of one scientific family, Mats Björk mostly works in the field of Blue carbon, focusing on Mangrove and, on occasion, Carbon sink.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Blue Carbon Storage in Tropical Seagrass Meadows Relates to Carbonate Stock Dynamics, Plant–Sediment Processes, and Landscape Context: Insights from the Western Indian Ocean (38 citations)
  • Blue Carbon Storage Capacity of Temperate Eelgrass (Zostera marina) Meadows (34 citations)
  • Increased current flow enhances the risk of organic carbon loss from Zostera marina sediments: Insights from a flume experiment (10 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Photosynthesis
  • Algae

His main research concerns Seagrass, Zostera marina, Ecosystem, Total organic carbon and Blue carbon. His Seagrass study is concerned with the larger field of Ecology. His work on Ocean acidification and Trophic level as part of general Ecology research is frequently linked to Global change and Predatory fish, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His studies in Total organic carbon integrate themes in fields like Salinity and Temperate climate. As part of his research on Blue carbon, studies on Carbon sequestration and Habitat are part of the effort. His study looks at the relationship between Productivity and fields such as Photosynthesis, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.
