Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Agriculture
Ecology
Botany

Agronomy, Stomatal conductance, Water-use efficiency, Xylem and Chenopodium quinoa are his primary areas of study. The various areas that Sven-Erik Jacobsen examines in his Agronomy study include Subtropics and Soil salinity. The Stomatal conductance study combines topics in areas such as Irrigation, Water content, Turgor pressure, Water resources and Transpiration.

His Xylem study combines topics in areas such as Soil water and Shoot. As a part of the same scientific study, Sven-Erik Jacobsen usually deals with the Chenopodium quinoa, concentrating on Salinity and frequently concerns with Osmolyte. His study in Botany is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Food science and Casein.

His most cited work include:

Nutritional Value and Use of the Andean Crops Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) and Kañiwa (Chenopodium pallidicaule) (347 citations)
The Resistance of Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoaWilld.) to Adverse Abiotic Factors (240 citations)
The Worldwide Potential for Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoaWilld.) (239 citations)

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

Sven-Erik Jacobsen spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Chenopodium quinoa, Crop, Salinity and Horticulture. His research integrates issues of Soil salinity and Stomatal conductance in his study of Agronomy. His studies deal with areas such as Dry weight, Turgor pressure, Xylem and Water-use efficiency as well as Stomatal conductance.

In his study, Food security is strongly linked to Chenopodium, which falls under the umbrella field of Chenopodium quinoa. Sven-Erik Jacobsen combines subjects such as Agroforestry, Weed, Agriculture, Domestication and Yield with his study of Crop. In the field of Salinity, his study on Saline water overlaps with subjects such as Sodium.

He most often published in these fields:

Agronomy (63.92%)
Chenopodium quinoa (48.45%)
Crop (26.80%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

Crop (26.80%)
Chenopodium quinoa (48.45%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Crop, Chenopodium quinoa, Salinity and Horticulture. His Agronomy research incorporates themes from Food security and Stomatal conductance. His Crop research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Agriculture and Mediterranean climate.

His Chenopodium quinoa research includes themes of Photosynthesis, Halophyte, Grain quality and Yield. His study on Saline water is often connected to Molecular breeding as part of broader study in Salinity. His work in the fields of Shoot, Phytotoxicity, Hybrid and Solanum overlaps with other areas such as Nickel.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Yield potential and salt tolerance of quinoa on salt‐degraded soils of Pakistan (14 citations)
Prospects for the accelerated improvement of the resilient crop quinoa. (8 citations)
Polymorphisms at phase I-metabolizing enzyme and hormone receptor loci influence the response to anti-TNF therapy in rheumatoid arthritis patients. (7 citations)

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

Agriculture
Ecology
Botany

Sven-Erik Jacobsen mainly investigates Agronomy, Chenopodium quinoa, Crop, Salinity and Irrigation water. His Chenopodium quinoa research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Domestication, Food processing and Drought tolerance. Sven-Erik Jacobsen has researched Crop in several fields, including Soil water, Halophyte, Yield and Saline.

Sven-Erik Jacobsen undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Salinity and Proline through his works. His Irrigation water study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Productivity, Root density and Stomatal conductance.
