Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Ecology
Ecosystem
Botany

Robert W. Sterner focuses on Ecology, Nutrient, Ecosystem, Algae and Zooplankton. His is involved in several facets of Ecology study, as is seen by his studies on Ecological stoichiometry, Herbivore and Biomass. His Ecological stoichiometry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of RNA, Ribosome, Ribosomal RNA and Biosphere.

His work in Nutrient covers topics such as Cladocera which are related to areas like Food quality. His Ecosystem study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Environmental chemistry, Biogeochemical cycle and Seston. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Algae, Interspecific competition, Limiting factor, Cyanobacteria, Diatom and Predation is strongly linked to Phytoplankton.

His most cited work include:

Ecological Stoichiometry: The Biology of Elements from Molecules to the Biosphere (2718 citations)
Nutritional constraints in terrestrial and freshwater food webs (1062 citations)
Biological stoichiometry from genes to ecosystems. (786 citations)

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

Robert W. Sterner mainly focuses on Ecology, Nutrient, Ecosystem, Environmental chemistry and Ecological stoichiometry. His study in Daphnia, Zooplankton, Trophic level, Herbivore and Plankton falls under the purview of Ecology. Robert W. Sterner focuses mostly in the field of Nutrient, narrowing it down to topics relating to Algae and, in certain cases, Interspecific competition.

His Ecosystem research includes themes of Biogeochemical cycle and Abiotic component. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Seston, Nitrate and Trophic state index. His Ecological stoichiometry research integrates issues from Nutrient cycle and Aquatic ecosystem.

He most often published in these fields:

Ecology (53.79%)
Nutrient (25.00%)
Ecosystem (18.94%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

Ecology (53.79%)
Oceanography (6.06%)
Trophic state index (6.82%)

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

Robert W. Sterner focuses on Ecology, Oceanography, Trophic state index, Active learning and Large Lakes Observatory. His work on Ecosystem, Plankton and Zooplankton as part of general Ecology study is frequently connected to Philosophy and Elemental composition, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His Ecosystem study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Spatial ecology, Phytoplankton, Temperate climate and Abiotic component.

Robert W. Sterner has included themes like Biomass and Food web in his Zooplankton study. His research integrates issues of Freshwater systems, Biogeochemical cycle and Test in his study of Oceanography. His Trophic state index study is concerned with the field of Nutrient as a whole.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Ecology under lake ice (153 citations)
Grand challenges for research in the Laurentian Great Lakes (26 citations)
Ecosystem services of Earth’s largest freshwater lakes (23 citations)
