Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Genus

Steven Jansen mostly deals with Xylem, Botany, Ecology, Water transport and Hydraulic conductivity. He has included themes like Porosity, Membrane, Cavitation and Woody plant in his Xylem study. His Botany research includes elements of Soil science and Soil water.

The Ecology study which covers Agronomy that intersects with Fagus sylvatica, Plant physiology and Indicator species. His work focuses on many connections between Hydraulic conductivity and other disciplines, such as Transpiration, that overlap with his field of interest in Hydraulic efficiency. His work carried out in the field of Ecosystem brings together such families of science as Taxon, Tree species, Biogeochemistry and Secondary chemistry.

His most cited work include:

  • Towards a worldwide wood economics spectrum (1631 citations)
  • TRY - a global database of plant traits (1611 citations)
  • Global convergence in the vulnerability of forests to drought (1256 citations)

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

Steven Jansen mainly focuses on Botany, Xylem, Water transport, Ecology and Membrane. His research integrates issues of Perforation and Anatomy in his study of Botany. While the research belongs to areas of Xylem, he spends his time largely on the problem of Biophysics, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Cell wall.

Water transport and Cavitation are two areas of study in which he engages in interdisciplinary work. When carried out as part of a general Ecology research project, his work on Climate change, Ecosystem, Adaptation and Biodiversity is frequently linked to work in Trait, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Porosity and Hydraulic conductance in addition to Membrane.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (64.68%)
  • Xylem (51.67%)
  • Water transport (17.84%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Xylem (51.67%)
  • Embolism (10.78%)
  • Ecology (15.24%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Xylem, Embolism, Ecology, Botany and Trait. In his papers, he integrates diverse fields, such as Xylem and Water transport. His study in Climate change, Ecosystem, Global warming, Adaptation and Species richness falls under the purview of Ecology.

His Ecosystem research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Global biodiversity, Biodiversity, Species level and Atlantic forest. Steven Jansen combines subjects such as Perforation and Morphology with his study of Botany. The Membrane structure research Steven Jansen does as part of his general Membrane study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Alcohol treatment, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (179 citations)
  • sPlot – A new tool for global vegetation analyses (72 citations)
  • Low growth resilience to drought is related to future mortality risk in trees (46 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Genus

Steven Jansen focuses on Xylem, Membrane, Botany, Water transport and Vegetation. His Xylem research integrates issues from Wall thickness, Cell wall and Parenchyma. His work deals with themes such as Apoplast and Seeding, which intersect with Membrane.

His Perforation plate study in the realm of Botany interacts with subjects such as Quantitative variation. His study on Water transport is intertwined with other disciplines of science such as Porosity, Porous medium and Soil science. His Vegetation research incorporates elements of Adaptation, Productivity and Resistance.
