Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study Nicholas Polunin is best known for:

Coral reef
Ecosystem
Biodiversity

His research on Ecology often connects related topics like Community structure. His study brings together the fields of Fish <Actinopterygii> and Fishery. His research ties Fishery and Fish <Actinopterygii> together. Nicholas Polunin combines topics linked to Coral bleaching with his work on Reef. He connects Coral bleaching with Coral reef protection in his research. His Coral reef protection study typically links adjacent topics like Coral reef organizations. His Coral reef organizations study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Reef. Nicholas Polunin performs multidisciplinary study in Coral reef and Biomass (ecology) in his work. Biomass (ecology) and Coral reef are two areas of study in which Nicholas Polunin engages in interdisciplinary work.

His most cited work include:

Critical science gaps impede use of no-take fishery reserves (690 citations)
