Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Fungus

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Sand dune stabilization, Spore, Mycorrhiza and Ecology. His work on Fern as part of general Botany study is frequently linked to Staining, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work on Ammophila breviligulata as part of general Sand dune stabilization research is often related to Hydrology, thus linking different fields of science.

His work deals with themes such as Rhizome, Gigaspora gigantea, Germination and Fungus, which intersect with Spore. His studies deal with areas such as Abundance, Soil water, Edaphic, Sporobolus and Introduced species as well as Mycorrhiza. The Ecology study combines topics in areas such as Ectomycorrhizae and Endogone.

His most cited work include:

  • A modified procedure for staining roots to detect VA mycorrhizas (1260 citations)
  • Distribution of VA mycorrhizal fungi along a latitudinal temperature gradient (209 citations)
  • Ecological studies of vesicular–arbuscular mycorrhizae in a barrier sand dune (126 citations)

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

R. E. Koske spends much of his time researching Botany, Spore, Mycorrhiza, Sand dune stabilization and Ecology. He has included themes like Ammophila breviligulata and Phycomycetes in his Botany study. His research integrates issues of Gigantea, Abundance, Gigaspora gigantea and Propagule in his study of Spore.

His Mycorrhiza research includes themes of Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, Mycorrhizal fungi and Root system. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Colonization, Edaphic and Arbuscular mycorrhizal. The concepts of his Ecology study are interwoven with issues in Biological dispersal and Endogone.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (79.22%)
  • Spore (37.66%)
  • Mycorrhiza (31.17%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1994-2010)?

  • Botany (79.22%)
  • Sand dune stabilization (29.87%)
  • Inoculation (7.79%)

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

Botany, Sand dune stabilization, Inoculation, Fungus and Ecology are his primary areas of study. His research in Botany intersects with topics in Biological dispersal and Mycorrhiza. As a part of the same scientific study, R. E. Koske usually deals with the Sand dune stabilization, concentrating on Arbuscular mycorrhizal and frequently concerns with Arbuscular mycorrhiza and Coastal dunes.

R. E. Koske interconnects Endangered species and Rosaceae in the investigation of issues within Inoculation. His Fungus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Germ tube, Germination and Cultivar. His studies in Spore integrate themes in fields like Agrostis, Agrostis canina, Abundance and Acaulospora.

Between 1994 and 2010, his most popular works were:

  • Mycorrhizae and succession in plantings of beachgrass in sand dunes (99 citations)
  • Arbuscular Mycorrhizae in Sand Dune Plants of the North Atlantic Coast of the U.S.: Field and Greenhouse Inoculation and Presence of Mycorrhizae in Planting Stock (58 citations)
  • Evaluation of commercial arbuscular mycorrhizal inocula in a sand/peat medium. (52 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Fungus

His main research concerns Botany, Coastal erosion, Barrier island, Ecosystem and Storm surge. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Endangered species and Mycorrhiza. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Mycorrhiza, focusing on Revegetation and, on occasion, Ammophila breviligulata.

His Ammophila breviligulata research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Propagule, Ecological succession and Agronomy, Sowing. His Coastal erosion research covers fields of interest such as Ecosystem services, Environmental protection, Coastal management, Natural and Sustainability. His studies deal with areas such as Zea mays, Species richness and Sand dune stabilization as well as Poaceae.
