Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Fungus

Roger D. Finlay mainly focuses on Botany, Mycorrhiza, Ecology, Mycelium and Ectomycorrhiza. As a member of one scientific family, Roger D. Finlay mostly works in the field of Botany, focusing on Nutrient and, on occasion, Bulk soil. His Mycorrhiza research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Arbuscular mycorrhiza, Glutamine and Fungus.

He works mostly in the field of Ecology, limiting it down to topics relating to Microorganism and, in certain cases, Rhizobacteria, Agrochemical and Microbial inoculant, as a part of the same area of interest. The various areas that Roger D. Finlay examines in his Ectomycorrhiza study include Soil horizon, Podzol, Piloderma and Lactarius. His research in Carbon cycle intersects with topics in Environmental chemistry and Soil respiration.

His most cited work include:

  • Carbon flow in the rhizosphere: carbon trading at the soil–root interface (812 citations)
  • Roots and associated fungi drive long-term carbon sequestration in boreal forest. (778 citations)
  • Spatial separation of litter decomposition and mycorrhizal nitrogen uptake in a boreal forest (645 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Mycorrhiza, Mycelium, Ecology and Ectomycorrhiza. His work carried out in the field of Botany brings together such families of science as Symbiosis, Paxillus involutus and Nutrient. His Mycorrhiza research incorporates elements of Agronomy, Shoot and Arbuscular mycorrhiza.

As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Mycelium, narrowing it down to issues related to the Decomposer, and often Mycena epipterygia. Ecology is closely attributed to Nitrogen cycle in his study. His studies in Ectomycorrhiza integrate themes in fields like Laccaria bicolor, Podzol and Piloderma.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (62.84%)
  • Mycorrhiza (35.81%)
  • Mycelium (29.73%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Botany (62.84%)
  • Ecology (25.68%)
  • Rhizosphere (5.41%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Ecology, Rhizosphere, Nutrient and Ecosystem. Roger D. Finlay is involved in the study of Botany that focuses on Fungus in particular. The Ecology study which covers Nitrogen cycle that intersects with Soil organic matter, Nutrient cycle and Tundra.

His Nutrient research integrates issues from Fractionation and Weathering. His work deals with themes such as Carbon sequestration, Organic matter, Microcosm and Suillus, which intersect with Ecosystem. His Ectomycorrhiza research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Chronosequence, Agronomy and Mycelium.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Carbon sequestration is related to mycorrhizal fungal community shifts during long-term succession in boreal forests. (293 citations)
  • A plant perspective on nitrogen cycling in the rhizosphere (55 citations)
  • Identifying the Active Microbiome Associated with Roots and Rhizosphere Soil of Oilseed Rape. (55 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Fungus

Botany, Ecology, Rhizosphere, Bacteria and Organic matter are his primary areas of study. His study in Botany is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Microcosm, Colonization, Ectosymbiosis and Ecosystem, Plant litter. The Ecosystem study combines topics in areas such as Biomass, Humus, Ecological succession and Suillus.

His Rhizosphere study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Transcriptome, Nitrogen cycle and Microbiology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Microbiome, Rhizoctonia solani and DNA sequencing in addition to Bacteria. Roger D. Finlay has included themes like Decomposition, Litter decomposition, Interspecific competition, Scots pine and Soil horizon in his Organic matter study.
