Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Ecology
Ecosystem
Biodiversity

Michael J. Paterson mainly focuses on Ecology, Ecosystem, Methylmercury, Environmental chemistry and Zooplankton. His work in the fields of Ecology, such as Species richness, Biodiversity and Predation, overlaps with other areas such as Sculpin and Cottus cognatus. His Ecosystem research incorporates themes from Biomass and Phytoplankton.

His Phytoplankton research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Global change and Plankton. The various areas that Michael J. Paterson examines in his Methylmercury study include Organic matter, Soil water, Water pollution, Biogeochemical cycle and Biogeochemistry. His work in Zooplankton addresses issues such as Water column, which are connected to fields such as Eutrophication.

His most cited work include:

Eutrophication of lakes cannot be controlled by reducing nitrogen input: Results of a 37-year whole-ecosystem experiment (1062 citations)
Whole-ecosystem study shows rapid fish-mercury response to changes in mercury deposition (358 citations)
Multiple anthropogenic stressors cause ecological surprises in boreal lakes (208 citations)

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

His main research concerns Ecology, Zooplankton, Environmental chemistry, Ecosystem and Fishery. He combines subjects such as Food web, Benthic zone, Biomagnification and Dissolved organic carbon with his study of Zooplankton. His Environmental chemistry research integrates issues from Methylmercury and MERCURE.

His Ecosystem research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Watershed, Atmospheric mercury and Wetland. Michael J. Paterson interconnects Trophic level and Phytoplankton in the investigation of issues within Biomass. His studies in Phytoplankton integrate themes in fields like Community dynamics and Eutrophication.

He most often published in these fields:

Ecology (82.86%)
Zooplankton (38.57%)
Environmental chemistry (35.71%)

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

Salvelinus (14.29%)
Cottus cognatus (12.86%)
Rainbow trout (28.57%)

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

Michael J. Paterson mainly focuses on Salvelinus, Cottus cognatus, Rainbow trout, Fishery and Boreal. His Salvelinus investigation overlaps with Sculpin, Mysis diluviana, Forage fish, Fish farming and Freshwater fish. His Boreal study improves the overall literature in Ecology.

His work in the fields of Ecology, such as Trophic level, Plankton and Species richness, intersects with other areas such as Term and Natural variability.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Biological Nitrogen Fixation Prevents the Response of a Eutrophic Lake to Reduced Loading of Nitrogen: Evidence from a 46-Year Whole-Lake Experiment (23 citations)
Accumulation of Silver in Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens) and Northern Pike (Esox lucius) From a Lake Dosed with Nanosilver (7 citations)
Impacts of freshwater aquaculture on fish communities: A whole‐ecosystem experimental approach (6 citations)

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

Ecology
Ecosystem
Biodiversity

His scientific interests lie mostly in Bloom, Fish farming, Fishery, Rainbow trout and Cottus cognatus. His work carried out in the field of Bloom brings together such families of science as Agronomy, Epilimnion, Nitrogen fixation and Nutrient, Eutrophication. His Eutrophication study frequently involves adjacent topics like Phytoplankton.

Michael J. Paterson integrates several fields in his works, including Fish farming, Salvelinus, Freshwater fish and Forage fish.
