What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Coral, Reef, Agaricia agaricites and Coral reef.
In his research, Rolf P. M. Bak performs multidisciplinary study on Ecology and Population development.
His work on Hermatypic coral, Scleractinia and Coralline algae is typically connected to Plant biochemistry as part of general Coral study, connecting several disciplines of science.
The concepts of his Hermatypic coral study are interwoven with issues in Juvenile, Elkhorn coral, Acropora and Coral species.
He combines subjects such as Plant physiology, Crustose and Dredging with his study of Agaricia agaricites.
Rolf P. M. Bak has researched Aquaculture of coral in several fields, including Coral reef protection and Benthic zone.
His most cited work include:
- Distribution, abundance and survival of juvenile hermatypic corals (Scleractinia) and the importance of life history strategies in the parent coral community (356 citations)
- Algal contact as a trigger for coral disease (224 citations)
- Effects of grazing, sedimentation and phytoplankton cell lysis on the structure of a coastal pelagic food web (203 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Rolf P. M. Bak mostly deals with Ecology, Coral, Reef, Coral reef and Oceanography.
His Coral study frequently involves adjacent topics like Botany.
His Environmental issues with coral reefs and Fringing reef study in the realm of Reef connects with subjects such as Environmental science and Calcification.
His studies in Coral reef integrate themes in fields like Sea urchin and Plankton.
His Oceanography research integrates issues from Nitrate, Heterotroph and Nutrient, Eutrophication.
Rolf P. M. Bak has included themes like Juvenile and Acropora in his Hermatypic coral study.
