What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of study are Phytoplankton, Ecology, Plankton, Botany and Photosynthesis.
Richard B. Rivkin interconnects Diatom, Bloom, Biomass and Carbon cycle in the investigation of issues within Phytoplankton.
His research investigates the connection with Carbon cycle and areas like Dissolved organic carbon which intersect with concerns in Seawater, Bacterial growth and Carbon sequestration.
His Plankton research includes elements of Pycnocline, Iron fertilization, Biogeochemical cycle, Ecosystem and Biogeochemistry.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Environmental chemistry, Nitrate and Nutrient.
His study in Photosynthesis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Diel vertical migration and Algae.
He most often published in these fields:
- Phytoplankton (46.60%)
- Ecology (33.98%)
- Plankton (28.16%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?
- Ecology (33.98%)
- Biogeochemical cycle (14.56%)
- Abundance (8.74%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Richard B. Rivkin spends much of his time researching Ecology, Biogeochemical cycle, Abundance, Environmental chemistry and Dissolved organic carbon.
His study in the field of Aquatic plant, Temperate climate and Nutrient also crosses realms of Gene transfer agent and Rhodobacterales.
In his study, Ocean observations, Environmental change, Atmosphere and Zooplankton is strongly linked to Biogeochemistry, which falls under the umbrella field of Biogeochemical cycle.
His Environmental chemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Heterotroph, Climate model, Carbon cycle and Water column.
His research investigates the connection between Heterotroph and topics such as Photosynthesis that intersect with problems in Water mass, Dimethylsulfoniopropionate, Bay and Phytoplankton.
His Plankton research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Trophic cascade, High-Nutrient, low-chlorophyll, Biomass and Krill.
Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- End‐To‐End Models for the Analysis of Marine Ecosystems: Challenges, Issues, and Next Steps (184 citations)
- Biogeochemical fluxes through microzooplankton: GLOBAL MICROZOOPLANKTON BIOGEOCHEMISTRY (82 citations)
- The microbial carbon pump concept: Potential biogeochemical significance in the globally changing ocean (53 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Carbon dioxide
Richard B. Rivkin focuses on Ecology, Biogeochemical cycle, Biogeochemistry, Ulva prolifera and Nutrient.
His Biogeochemical cycle research incorporates themes from Carbon sequestration, Atmospheric carbon cycle, Dissolved organic carbon and Total organic carbon.
The concepts of his Biogeochemistry study are interwoven with issues in Trophic cascade, High-Nutrient, low-chlorophyll, Krill and Zooplankton.
His Trophic cascade research includes elements of Phytoplankton and Plankton.
The Ulva prolifera study combines topics in areas such as Biomass, Algal bloom and Phosphorus metabolism.
His study in Nutrient is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Urea, Nitrate, Phosphate and Botany.
