Petra M. Visser

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

• Ecology
• Ecosystem
• Cyanobacteria

Cyanobacteria, Microcystin, Ecology, Algal bloom and Microcystis are her primary areas of study. The concepts of her Microcystin study are interwoven with issues in Toxin and Botany. Her Ecology study is mostly concerned with Algae and Bloom.

Her studies deal with areas such as Microcystis aeruginosa and Eutrophication as well as Algal bloom. Her study connects Microbiology and Microcystis. Her Phytoplankton research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Oceanography and Plankton.

Her most cited work include:

• Summer heatwaves promote blooms of harmful cyanobacteria (669 citations)
• Changes in turbulent mixing shift competition for light between phytoplankton species (439 citations)
• Effects of light on the microcystin content of Microcystis strain PCC 7806. (242 citations)

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

Petra M. Visser mostly deals with Ecology, Microcystis, Cyanobacteria, Eutrophication and Microcystin. Her studies in Phytoplankton, Algal bloom, Coral reef, Benthic zone and Bloom are all subfields of Ecology research. She interconnects Buoyancy, Water column, Algae, Sedimentation and Animal science in the investigation of issues within Microcystis.

Her Cyanobacteria study which covers Botany that intersects with Biophysics and Artificial mixing. Her work carried out in the field of Eutrophication brings together such families of science as Dominance, Green algae and Ecosystem, Freshwater ecosystem. Her Microcystin study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Photosynthesis, Toxin and Microcystis aeruginosa.

She most often published in these fields:

• Ecology (37.93%)
• Microcystis (32.18%)
• Cyanobacteria (32.18%)

• Eutrophication (24.14%)
• Microcystin (22.99%)

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

Petra M. Visser mainly investigates Cyanobacteria, Eutrophication, Microcystin, Ecology and Hydrogen peroxide. Her Eutrophication study incorporates themes from Ecosystem, Surface runoff, Water resources, Environmental chemistry and Oceanography. The study incorporates disciplines such as Extracellular, Microcystis aeruginosa and Cylindrospermopsin in addition to Microcystin.

Her Hydrogen peroxide research integrates issues from Photosynthesis, Green algae, Freshwater ecosystem and Microcystis. Her Microcystis research includes elements of Food science, Interspecific competition, Algal bloom, Chlorella and Nutrient. Her Benthic zone research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Biomass, Bloom, Herbivore and Substrate.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

• Temperature Effects Explain Continental Scale Distribution of Cyanobacterial Toxins (87 citations)
• Reefs under Siege—the Rise, Putative Drivers, and Consequences of Benthic Cyanobacterial Mats (21 citations)
• Diurnal changes of cyanobacteria blooms in Taihu Lake as derived from GOCI observations (19 citations)

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

• Ecology
• Ecosystem
• Bacteria

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecosystem, Microcystis aeruginosa, Zoology, Bloom and Atmospheric correction. Her Ecosystem research incorporates elements of Climate change, Nutrient pollution and Environmental resource management. She combines subjects such as Toxin, Anatoxin-a, Cyanobacteria, Microcystin-LR and Nodularin with her study of Zoology.

Petra M. Visser has researched Toxin in several fields, including Cylindrospermopsin and Microcystin. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Diel vertical migration, Atmospheric sciences and Seasonality. Petra M. Visser performs multidisciplinary study on Atmospheric correction and Hotspot in her works.
