What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
Raija Laiho mainly focuses on Peat, Ecology, Ecosystem, Litter and Hydrology.
Her Peat research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil water, Ecological succession, Water level and Plant litter.
Her study explores the link between Soil water and topics such as Forest ecology that cross with problems in Nitrogen cycle.
Her Decomposer, Boreal and Taiga study, which is part of a larger body of work in Ecology, is frequently linked to Drawdown and Tree stand, bridging the gap between disciplines.
She focuses mostly in the field of Litter, narrowing it down to matters related to Environmental chemistry and, in some cases, Soil chemistry and Organic matter.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Mire and Sphagnum in addition to Hydrology.
Her most cited work include:
- Decomposition in peatlands: Reconciling seemingly contrasting results on the impacts of lowered water levels (310 citations)
- Decay and nutrient dynamics of coarse woody debris in northern coniferous forests: a synthesis (303 citations)
- Long-term effects of water level drawdown on the vegetation of drained pine mires in southern Finland (235 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Her primary areas of study are Peat, Ecology, Boreal, Forestry and Agronomy.
Her work deals with themes such as Agroforestry, Soil water, Nutrient and Ecosystem, which intersect with Peat.
Growing season is closely connected to Hydrology in her research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Boreal.
Her Forestry research incorporates themes from Scots pine and Drainage.
Her research in Agronomy intersects with topics in Stump harvesting, Soil respiration and Botany.
Her research investigates the connection between Sphagnum and topics such as Plant litter that intersect with issues in Chronosequence and Ecological succession.
She most often published in these fields:
- Peat (75.84%)
- Ecology (31.54%)
- Boreal (24.16%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Peat (75.84%)
- Boreal (24.16%)
- Agronomy (20.13%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Raija Laiho mostly deals with Peat, Boreal, Agronomy, Biomass and Biomass.
Raija Laiho works on Peat which deals in particular with Sphagnum.
Her Boreal research is classified as research in Ecology.
The Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Exudate, Mineralization, Soil organic matter, Bulk soil and Cycling.
Her Biomass research includes themes of Plant community and Plant functional type.
Her research integrates issues of Moss, Plant roots, Renewable energy and Nitrogen in her study of Biomass.
Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:
- Responses of phenology and biomass production of boreal fens to climate warming under different water-table level regimes. (31 citations)
- Deforested and drained tropical peatland sites show poorer peat substrate quality and lower microbial biomass and activity than unmanaged swamp forest (17 citations)
- Could continuous cover forestry be an economically and environmentally feasible management option on drained boreal peatlands (15 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Biodiversity
Her main research concerns Peat, Boreal, Agroforestry, Ecosystem respiration and Bog.
Her Peat research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biomass, Agronomy, Ecosystem services, Soil respiration and Plant community.
Her Plant community research integrates issues from Ecosystem, Forb and Phenology.
Boreal is a subfield of Ecology that she studies.
Raija Laiho has researched Agroforestry in several fields, including Ditch, Species diversity and Interception.
Her work carried out in the field of Ecosystem respiration brings together such families of science as Soil carbon, Ombrotrophic, Minerotrophic, Productivity and Sphagnum.
