Pekka Saranpää

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Botany
• Ecology
• Organic chemistry

Pekka Saranpää mainly investigates Picea abies, Botany, Pith, Horticulture and Tracheid. His Picea abies research includes themes of Thinning, Microfibril and Human fertilization. In his study, Cellulose and Ring is inextricably linked to Composite material, which falls within the broad field of Microfibril.

Pekka Saranpää regularly links together related areas like Animal science in his Botany studies. The study incorporates disciplines such as Sugar and Softwood in addition to Pith. His work deals with themes such as Growing season and Bark, which intersect with Horticulture.

His most cited work include:

• Crystallinity of wood and the size of cellulose crystallites in Norway spruce (Picea abies) (163 citations)
• Seasonal changes in stem radius and production of new tracheids in Norway spruce. (115 citations)
• Wood-density variation of Norway spruce in relation to nutrient optimization and fibre dimensions (102 citations)

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

Pekka Saranpää mainly focuses on Botany, Picea abies, Lignin, Xylem and Tracheid. Botany and Horticulture are frequently intertwined in his study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Animal science, Thinning and Microfibril.

In Microfibril, he works on issues like Composite material, which are connected to Cellulose. His Xylem study deals with Chemical composition intersecting with Plant composition. His Pith study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Softwood and Bark.

• Tannins can slow-down but also speed-up soil enzymatic activity in boreal forest (27 citations)

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

• Botany
• Ecology
• Organic chemistry

His main research concerns Botany, Picea abies, Bark, Astringin and Composite material. His studies deal with areas such as Ecosystem and Taiga as well as Botany. His work carried out in the field of Picea abies brings together such families of science as Forestry and Ring.

His research in Bark intersects with topics in High-performance liquid chromatography, Chromatography, Hydrolysis and Carbon-13 NMR. His work in the fields of Composite material, such as Wetting, Wood veneer and Veneer, overlaps with other areas such as Adhesive bonding. His Phloem research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Betula pendula, Xylem, Sclereid and Lignin.
