Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Ecology, Colonization, Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and Mycorrhiza. She has researched Botany in several fields, including Biomass, Gigasporaceae, Acaulosporaceae, Host and Phyllosphere. Her works in Biodiversity, Ecosystem, Plant community, Temperate rainforest and Soil microbiology are all subjects of inquiry into Ecology.

In her research on the topic of Colonization, Mutualism and Mycorrhizal network is strongly related with Glomeraceae. In her study, Life history theory and Ecological systems theory is strongly linked to Terrestrial ecosystem, which falls under the umbrella field of Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Her studies deal with areas such as Glomus and Acaulospora as well as Mycorrhiza.

Her most cited work include:

  • Reciprocal Rewards Stabilize Cooperation in the Mycorrhizal Symbiosis (930 citations)
  • Methods of studying soil microbial diversity (727 citations)
  • Taxonomic basis for variation in the colonization strategy of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (454 citations)

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

Miranda M. Hart mostly deals with Botany, Ecology, Agronomy, Symbiosis and Colonization. Her Botany study incorporates themes from Host and Mycorrhiza. Miranda M. Hart works mostly in the field of Ecology, limiting it down to concerns involving Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and, occasionally, Arbuscular mycorrhizal and Terrestrial ecosystem.

Her Agronomy research incorporates elements of Vineyard, Soil biology, Nutrient and Microbial inoculant. Her work on Glomeromycota as part of her general Symbiosis study is frequently connected to Bradyrhizobium japonicum, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. Her Colonization study combines topics in areas such as Glomeraceae and Ergosterol.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (36.67%)
  • Ecology (35.00%)
  • Agronomy (26.67%)

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

  • Agronomy (26.67%)
  • Ecology (35.00%)
  • Nutrient (12.50%)

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

Miranda M. Hart mainly focuses on Agronomy, Ecology, Nutrient, Vineyard and Inoculation. Her work carried out in the field of Agronomy brings together such families of science as Rhizosphere, Soil quality, Competition and Microbial inoculant. Her research brings together the fields of Microbial ecology and Ecology.

Her Nutrient study deals with Rootstock intersecting with Riparia and Colonization. Her Inoculation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Propagule, Host, Shoot and Fungus. Her Fungus study results in a more complete grasp of Botany.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Site specificity in establishment of a commercial arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal inoculant (13 citations)
  • In vitro Propagation of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi May Drive Fungal Evolution. (8 citations)
  • Does Inoculation with Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Reduce Trunk Disease in Grapevine Rootstocks (8 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

Botany, Ecology, Arbuscular mycorrhizal, Spore and Fungus are her primary areas of study. Her Botany study frequently involves adjacent topics like Vineyard. Her Ecology study frequently links to related topics such as Symbiosis.

Her Arbuscular mycorrhizal research includes elements of Mutualism, Grazing pressure, Herbivore and Carbon flux. The Spore study combines topics in areas such as Perennial plant, Fungal Structures, Community structure and Ruderal species. Her work in Fungus addresses subjects such as Inoculation, which are connected to disciplines such as Rootstock, Nutrient, Colonization and Riparia.
