Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Oceanography

Rubén J. Lara mainly focuses on Dissolved organic carbon, Oceanography, Mangrove, Organic matter and Total organic carbon. Environmental chemistry covers Rubén J. Lara research in Dissolved organic carbon. His research in Environmental chemistry intersects with topics in Carbon and Arctic.

The concepts of his Mangrove study are interwoven with issues in Holocene, Vegetation, Peninsula and Dry season. His Organic matter research incorporates elements of Estuary and Sediment. His Total organic carbon study combines topics in areas such as Hydrology, Nutrient and Outwelling.

His most cited work include:

  • Mangroves, a major source of dissolved organic carbon to the oceans (310 citations)
  • River or mangrove? Tracing major organic matter sources in tropical Brazilian coastal waters (182 citations)
  • Driving Forces Behind Nutrient and Organic Matter Dynamics in a Mangrove Tidal Creek in North Brazil (160 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Mangrove, Ecology, Oceanography, Dissolved organic carbon and Organic matter. His Mangrove research incorporates themes from Palynology, Holocene, Hydrology, Wetland and Vegetation. His work on Estuary, Plankton and Salt marsh as part of general Ecology study is frequently linked to Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio, bridging the gap between disciplines.

To a larger extent, Rubén J. Lara studies Environmental chemistry with the aim of understanding Dissolved organic carbon. He has included themes like Fraction, Water column and Sorption in his Environmental chemistry study. His study in Organic matter is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Isotopes of nitrogen, Sediment, Biogeochemical cycle, Adsorption and Particulates.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mangrove (33.33%)
  • Ecology (31.37%)
  • Oceanography (27.45%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Ecology (31.37%)
  • Estuary (19.61%)
  • Biogeochemical cycle (13.73%)

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Estuary, Biogeochemical cycle, Oceanography and Plankton. When carried out as part of a general Ecology research project, his work on Ecosystem, Wetland and Adaptation strategies is frequently linked to work in Dinophysis and Paralytic shellfish poisoning, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His work carried out in the field of Estuary brings together such families of science as Seston and Temperate climate.

His Oceanography research includes themes of Organic matter, Isotopes of nitrogen and Rhizophora. His Organic matter research integrates issues from Environmental chemistry, Biomass, Fatty acid and Chlorophyll a. His work in Sediment covers topics such as Salinity which are related to areas like Abiotic component and Mangrove.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Biological Soup Within Decaying Slimmer Sea Ice in the Amundsen Sea, Antarctica (50 citations)
  • Influence of hydrologic and anthropogenic factors on the abundance variability of enteropathogens in the Ganges estuary, a cholera endemic region. (20 citations)
  • Biogeochemical and hydrological drivers of the dynamics of Vibrio species in two Patagonian estuaries. (18 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Climate change

Rubén J. Lara spends much of his time researching Ecology, Estuary, Biogeochemistry, Water quality and Vibrio. His work in the fields of Ecology, such as Ecosystem, Abundance and Productivity, intersects with other areas such as Phycotoxin and Alexandrium catenella. His Estuary study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Salinity, Sewage, Sediment, Hydrology and Intertidal zone.

His studies in Biogeochemistry integrate themes in fields like Aquatic ecosystem, Fecal coliform and Turbidity. Rubén J. Lara focuses mostly in the field of Water quality, narrowing it down to matters related to Wetland and, in some cases, Biogeochemical cycle. His Biogeochemical cycle research is within the category of Environmental chemistry.
