Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Ecology
  • Carbon dioxide

His primary scientific interests are in Environmental chemistry, Methanogenesis, Anoxic waters, Methane and Soil water. The Environmental chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Ecology, Nitrification, Denitrification, Anaerobic oxidation of methane and Soil microbiology. His study in Methanogenesis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sulfate, Biochemistry, Propionate and Carbon dioxide.

His Anoxic waters study combines topics in areas such as Microorganism, Methanobacteria, Nitrate and Botany. His research in Methane intersects with topics in Soil science, Rhizosphere, Paddy field and Nitrogen. Ralf Conrad has included themes like Acetylene and Water content in his Soil water study.

His most cited work include:

  • Soil microorganisms as controllers of atmospheric trace gases (H2, CO, CH4, OCS, N2O, and NO). (1337 citations)
  • Bacteria rather than Archaea dominate microbial ammonia oxidation in an agricultural soil (675 citations)
  • Contribution of hydrogen to methane production and control of hydrogen concentrations in methanogenic soils and sediments (597 citations)

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

Environmental chemistry, Methanogenesis, Soil water, Anoxic waters and Botany are his primary areas of study. His Environmental chemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ecology, Methane, Nitrification, Incubation and Denitrification. His Methanogenesis research includes elements of Organic matter, Biochemistry, Propionate, Carbon dioxide and Paddy field.

His Soil water study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Microorganism and Water content. His research on Anoxic waters often connects related areas such as Sulfate. Ralf Conrad interconnects Rhizosphere, Archaea and Soil microbiology in the investigation of issues within Botany.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental chemistry (41.10%)
  • Methanogenesis (32.33%)
  • Soil water (26.85%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?

  • Environmental chemistry (41.10%)
  • Soil water (26.85%)
  • Methanogenesis (32.33%)

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

Environmental chemistry, Soil water, Methanogenesis, Botany and Archaea are his primary areas of study. His Environmental chemistry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Bacteria, Incubation and Isotopes of carbon. His study in Soil water is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Anaerobic oxidation of methane and Agronomy.

The concepts of his Methanogenesis study are interwoven with issues in Organic matter, Carbon dioxide, Soil science and Anoxic waters. The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Methanotroph, Proteobacteria, Verrucomicrobia, Alphaproteobacteria and Soil microbiology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Ecology and Microbial population biology.

Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Methane fluxes show consistent temperature dependence across microbial to ecosystem scales (419 citations)
  • Methanogenic archaea are globally ubiquitous in aerated soils and become active under wet anoxic conditions (268 citations)
  • Responses of methanogen mcrA genes and their transcripts to an alternate dry/wet cycle of paddy field soil. (110 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Ecology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Methanogenesis, Soil water, Soil microbiology and Anoxic waters. Methanogenesis is a subfield of Methane that Ralf Conrad studies. In his study, Environmental chemistry and Methanosarcina barkeri is strongly linked to Fractionation, which falls under the umbrella field of Methane.

His studies in Environmental chemistry integrate themes in fields like Methane monooxygenase, Anaerobic oxidation of methane and Archaea. His research investigates the link between Soil water and topics such as Paddy field that cross with problems in Oryza sativa and Straw. His Soil microbiology research incorporates themes from Hydrogenase, Rhizosphere, Trace gas and Atmospheric chemistry.
