Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem

Botany, Betula pendula, Betulaceae, Betula pubescens and Phenols are his primary areas of study. His Botany research incorporates elements of Natural population growth and Intraspecific competition. Matti Rousi combines subjects such as Ecology, Herbivore, Growing season and Shoot with his study of Betula pendula.

His Betulaceae research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Bark, Lepus timidus, Chemotaxonomy and Seedling. His work carried out in the field of Betula pubescens brings together such families of science as Germplasm and Population genetics. His biological study deals with issues like Green leaf volatiles, which deal with fields such as Palisade cell, Volatile organic compound and Horticulture.

His most cited work include:

  • Chemical diversity of several Betulaceae species: comparison of phenolics and terpenoids in northern birch stems (121 citations)
  • Genome sequencing and population genomic analyses provide insights into the adaptive landscape of silver birch (108 citations)
  • Variation in Phenolic Compounds within a Birch (Betula pendula) Population (99 citations)

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

Matti Rousi mainly investigates Botany, Betula pendula, Horticulture, Herbivore and Betulaceae. Shoot, Betula pubescens, Woody plant, Seedling and Photosynthesis are subfields of Botany in which his conducts study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Deciduous, Genetic variation, Phenology and Growing season.

His work deals with themes such as Willow, Palisade cell and Plant physiology, which intersect with Horticulture. Matti Rousi has researched Herbivore in several fields, including Competition, Agronomy, Intraspecific competition and Vole. His studies in Betulaceae integrate themes in fields like Genetic variability, Nutrient, Resistance and Chemotaxonomy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (67.62%)
  • Betula pendula (61.90%)
  • Horticulture (27.62%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Betula pendula (61.90%)
  • Botany (67.62%)
  • Horticulture (27.62%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Betula pendula, Botany, Horticulture, Ecology and Growing season. The Betula pendula study combines topics in areas such as Phenology, Global warming, Species richness, Acclimatization and Genetic variation. Matti Rousi studies Photosynthesis which is a part of Botany.

His work on Shoot and Greenhouse as part of general Horticulture study is frequently linked to Isotopes of carbon and Sodium, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. In his research on the topic of Growing season, Population genetics and Germplasm is strongly related with Betula pubescens. Matti Rousi interconnects Abundance and Insect in the investigation of issues within Herbivore.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Genome sequencing and population genomic analyses provide insights into the adaptive landscape of silver birch (108 citations)
  • Evolution-based approach needed for the conservation and silviculture of peripheral forest tree populations (58 citations)
  • Impact of elevated temperature and ozone on the emission of volatile organic compounds and gas exchange of silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) (57 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Betula pendula, Horticulture, Photosynthesis and Carbon dioxide. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Terrestrial ecosystem and Population genetics. His Betula pendula study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Germplasm, Herbivore, Litter, Plant litter and Genetic variation.

In general Horticulture, his work in Abscission is often linked to Isotopes of carbon linking many areas of study. His study in the field of Stomatal conductance is also linked to topics like Terpene, Environmental chemistry and Xylulose. As a member of one scientific family, Matti Rousi mostly works in the field of Carbon dioxide, focusing on Biomass and, on occasion, Willow, Salix myrsinifolia and Uv b radiation.
