Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Traditional medicine

Rainer W. Bussmann spends much of his time researching Ethnobotany, Medicinal plants, Traditional knowledge, Biodiversity and Traditional medicine. His Ethnobotany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Agroforestry, Pastoralism, Ethnology and Ancient history. His Medicinal plants research incorporates themes from Antibacterial activity, Minimum inhibitory concentration, Antibacterial agent and Brine shrimp.

His Traditional knowledge research incorporates elements of Wildlife, Ethnomedicine, Taxus wallichiana, Allopathic medicine and Pharmacology. His Biodiversity research includes elements of Species richness, Socioeconomics and Botany. His study in Traditional medicine is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Plant species, Broth microdilution and Staphylococcus aureus.

His most cited work include:

  • Ecological status and traditional knowledge of medicinal plants in Kedarnath Wildlife Sanctuary of Garhwal Himalaya, India (303 citations)
  • Traditional medicinal plant use in Northern Peru: tracking two thousand years of healing culture (244 citations)
  • A comparative ethnobotany of Khevsureti, Samtskhe-Javakheti, Tusheti, Svaneti, and Racha-Lechkhumi, Republic of Georgia (Sakartvelo), Caucasus (217 citations)

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

Rainer W. Bussmann mainly investigates Botany, Traditional medicine, Ethnobotany, Medicinal plants and Traditional knowledge. His Traditional medicine research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Asteraceae and Fabaceae. His Ethnobotany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Agroforestry, Biodiversity and Socioeconomics.

His Biodiversity study is concerned with the field of Ecology as a whole. Medicinal plants is frequently linked to Plant species in his study. Indigenous covers Rainer W. Bussmann research in Traditional knowledge.

  • Traditional medicine (25.26%)
  • Botany (25.71%)
  • Asteraceae (2.82%)

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

Rainer W. Bussmann focuses on Traditional medicine, Botany, Asteraceae, Hook and Medicinal plants. His Traditional medicine research includes themes of Fabaceae and Gentianaceae. His is involved in several facets of Botany study, as is seen by his studies on Rosaceae and Polygonaceae.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Complementary and alternative medicine research, prospects and limitations in Pakistan: A literature review (25 citations)
  • Food as medicine: A possible preventive measure against coronavirus disease (COVID-19). (18 citations)
  • Reshaping the future of ethnobiology research after the COVID-19 pandemic. (14 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Traditional medicine

His primary areas of study are Traditional medicine, Botany, Medicinal plants, Ethnobotany and Indigenous. He combines subjects such as Fabaceae, Rubiaceae and Gentianaceae with his study of Traditional medicine. Polygonaceae, Asteraceae and Rosaceae are the core of his Botany study.

His Medicinal plants study incorporates themes from National park, Flora and Sustainability. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Ethnobotany, Socioeconomics is strongly linked to Traditional knowledge. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Forest management, Forestry and Vegetation.
