Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Botany

Robert L. Jefferies mainly focuses on Ecology, Salt marsh, Agronomy, Botany and Vegetation. His Plant community, Marsh and Graminoid study are his primary interests in Ecology. His Salt marsh research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Puccinellia, Standing crop and Grazing.

His primary area of study in Agronomy is in the field of Biomass. Robert L. Jefferies usually deals with Botany and limits it to topics linked to Tundra and Triglochin maritima, Elymus, Salix brachycarpa, Anser and Nutrient. His Vegetation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Foraging, Carex aquatilis and Herbivore.

His most cited work include:

  • Vertebrate Herbivores and Northern Plant Communities: Reciprocal Influences and Responses (238 citations)
  • Increases in the net above-ground primary production of a salt marsh forage grass: a test of the predictions of the herbivore-optimization model. (215 citations)
  • Ecological Processes in Coastal Environments (204 citations)

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

Ecology, Salt marsh, Botany, Agronomy and Arctic are his primary areas of study. Robert L. Jefferies combines topics linked to Bay with his work on Ecology. His Salt marsh research includes themes of Puccinellia, Salinity, Carex, Grubbing and Grazing.

As a member of one scientific family, Robert L. Jefferies mostly works in the field of Botany, focusing on Plantago maritima and, on occasion, Halimione portulacoides. As a part of the same scientific family, Robert L. Jefferies mostly works in the field of Agronomy, focusing on Nutrient and, on occasion, Tundra. His study on Arctic also encompasses disciplines like

  • Habitat and Wetland most often made with reference to Goose,
  • Foraging which is related to area like Forage.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (59.09%)
  • Salt marsh (36.36%)
  • Botany (34.09%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2016)?

  • Ecology (59.09%)
  • Arctic (19.32%)
  • Nutrient (11.36%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Arctic, Nutrient, Agronomy and Botany. His Ecology study is mostly concerned with Alternative stable state, Vegetation, Marsh, Salt marsh and Agriculture. His Arctic study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Goose and Reproductive success.

As part of one scientific family, Robert L. Jefferies deals mainly with the area of Nutrient, narrowing it down to issues related to the Biomass, and often Dissolved organic carbon. The study incorporates disciplines such as Soil water and Ecosystem in addition to Agronomy. His work on Shoot and Ammophila arenaria is typically connected to Link and Microorganism as part of general Botany study, connecting several disciplines of science.

Between 2003 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • The dynamics of landscape change and snow geese in mid‐continent North America (177 citations)
  • Soil microbial and nutrient dynamics in a wet Arctic sedge meadow in late winter and early spring (124 citations)
  • Is the decline of soil microbial biomass in late winter coupled to changes in the physical state of cold soils (92 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Botany

Ecology, Arctic, Alternative stable state, Predation and Nutrient are his primary areas of study. Many of his research projects under Ecology are closely connected to Nereis and Bioturbation with Nereis and Bioturbation, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His Arctic research integrates issues from Revegetation, Vegetation, Foraging and Population size.

His Alternative stable state research includes elements of Trophic level, Herbivore and Disturbance. His Nutrient study combines topics in areas such as Soil water, Tundra, Agronomy and Botany. His study on Osmotic pressure is often connected to Psychrophile as part of broader study in Botany.
