Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Photosynthesis

Stephan D. Flint spends much of his time researching Botany, Ozone, Photosynthesis, Ozone layer and Radiation. His Botany study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sunlight, Competition and Horticulture. His research on Ozone focuses in particular on Ozone depletion.

His study in Photosynthesis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Vicia faba and Field conditions. The study incorporates disciplines such as Biogeochemical cycle, Acclimatization and Ultraviolet in addition to Ozone layer. Stephan D. Flint has included themes like Action spectrum, Photochemistry and Analytical chemistry in his Radiation study.

His most cited work include:

  • Internal filters: Prospects for UV‐acclimation in higher plants (526 citations)
  • Terrestrial ecosystems, increased solar ultraviolet radiation and interactions with other climatic change factors (487 citations)
  • Effects of increased solar ultraviolet radiation on terrestrial ecosystems (452 citations)

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

Stephan D. Flint mainly investigates Botany, Ozone depletion, Radiation, Horticulture and Photosynthesis. His work in Botany covers topics such as Sphagnum which are related to areas like Testate amoebae. His Ozone depletion research integrates issues from Ozone layer, Carex, Climate change and Ecosystem.

As a part of the same scientific family, Stephan D. Flint mostly works in the field of Radiation, focusing on Ozone and, on occasion, Analytical chemistry. His study looks at the intersection of Horticulture and topics like Irradiance with Photosynthetically active radiation. His studies deal with areas such as Avena fatua, Agronomy, Field conditions and Canopy as well as Photosynthesis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (50.00%)
  • Ozone depletion (27.50%)
  • Radiation (16.25%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Botany (50.00%)
  • Ozone depletion (27.50%)
  • Climate change (10.00%)

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

Stephan D. Flint mainly focuses on Botany, Ozone depletion, Climate change, Acclimatization and Atmospheric sciences. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Radiation and Host. In his work, Global warming and Ozone layer is strongly intertwined with Ecosystem, which is a subfield of Ozone depletion.

His work carried out in the field of Acclimatization brings together such families of science as Transmittance, Chlorophyll, Chlorophyll fluorescence, Herbaceous plant and Ultraviolet. His Atmospheric sciences research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Meteorology, Ozone and Crop. The subject of his Terrestrial ecosystem research is within the realm of Ecology.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Solar ultraviolet radiation and ozone depletion-driven climate change: effects on terrestrial ecosystems (110 citations)
  • Molecular and physiological effects of environmental UV radiation on fungal conidia. (86 citations)
  • Linkages between stratospheric ozone, UV radiation and climate change and their implications for terrestrial ecosystems (43 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Ozone depletion, Terrestrial ecosystem, Ecosystem and Global warming. His Botany research includes elements of Abelmoschus and Ultraviolet. His study in Ozone depletion is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biotic component, Ecology, Climate change, Abiotic component and Ozone layer.

His Terrestrial ecosystem research incorporates themes from Nutrient cycle, Ozone depletion and climate change and Plant litter.
