What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Oceanography
- Bacteria
His primary scientific interests are in Oceanography, Ecology, Phytoplankton, Bacterioplankton and Upwelling.
Peter H. Burkill is interested in Biomass, which is a field of Oceanography.
His biological study deals with issues like Synechococcus, which deal with fields such as Picoplankton.
The Phytoplankton study combines topics in areas such as Mixed layer and Biogeochemical cycle.
His Bacterioplankton study also includes fields such as
- Plankton that connect with fields like Ciliate,
- Algae together with Ecosystem.
His work carried out in the field of Upwelling brings together such families of science as Trophic level, Monsoon and Submarine pipeline.
His most cited work include:
- A biogeochemical study of the coccolithophore, Emiliania huxleyi, in the North Atlantic (421 citations)
- Microzooplankton grazing and selectivity of phytoplankton in coastal waters (234 citations)
- High rate of uptake of organic nitrogen compounds by Prochlorococcus cyanobacteria as a key to their dominance in oligotrophic oceanic waters. (227 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Oceanography, Phytoplankton, Ecology, Plankton and Bacterioplankton are his primary areas of study.
Peter H. Burkill regularly links together related areas like Biogeochemical cycle in his Oceanography studies.
His Phytoplankton research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Seawater, Mixed layer and Chlorophyll a.
His work investigates the relationship between Plankton and topics such as Ecosystem that intersect with problems in Environmental resource management.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Amino acid, Synechococcus, Prochlorococcus and Botany, Algae in addition to Bacterioplankton.
His work deals with themes such as Monsoon and Transect, which intersect with Upwelling.
He most often published in these fields:
- Oceanography (58.14%)
- Phytoplankton (39.53%)
- Ecology (31.78%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2020)?
- Bacterioplankton (27.13%)
- Oceanography (58.14%)
- Plankton (27.91%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Peter H. Burkill focuses on Bacterioplankton, Oceanography, Plankton, Botany and Continuous Plankton Recorder.
His Bacterioplankton research incorporates themes from Amino acid, Microbial metabolism, Marine bacteriophage, Algae and Environmental chemistry.
The various areas that Peter H. Burkill examines in his Oceanography study include Trophic level, Ecology, Ecosystem and Abundance.
His research integrates issues of Biomass, Salinity, Secchi disk and Upwelling in his study of Trophic level.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Plankton, Indian ocean is strongly linked to Phytoplankton.
His studies in Botany integrate themes in fields like Synechococcus and Phosphate.
Between 2006 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Mixotrophic basis of Atlantic oligotrophic ecosystems (174 citations)
- Get The Science Right When Paying For Nature's Services (158 citations)
- Ecosystem Services for 2020 (158 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Oceanography
- Bacteria
His primary areas of investigation include Bacterioplankton, Cyanobacteria, Botany, Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus.
His work on Algae expands to the thematically related Bacterioplankton.
Algae is a primary field of his research addressed under Ecology.
His study in Cyanobacteria is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Microorganism and Amino acid, Biochemistry, Nucleic acid.
Among his research on Ocean gyre, you can see a combination of other fields of science like Oceanography and Ecosystem.
Ecosystem is often connected to Environmental resource management in his work.
