Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Genus

Treena I. Burgess spends much of his time researching Botany, Ecology, Neofusicoccum, Eucalyptus and Botryosphaeriaceae. While working on this project, Treena I. Burgess studies both Botany and Diaporthe. His work in the fields of Neofusicoccum, such as Neofusicoccum australe, overlaps with other areas such as Cyathea australis.

His Eucalyptus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Banksia attenuata, Banksia, Agonis flexuosa and Species complex. His Taxonomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Botryosphaeria obtusa, Taxon, Spore, Genetic marker and Microsatellite. His study looks at the relationship between Lasiodiplodia and fields such as Phylogenetic tree, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His most cited work include:

  • Phylogenetic lineages in the Botryosphaeriaceae (502 citations)
  • A class-wide phylogenetic assessment of Dothideomycetes (376 citations)
  • The Amsterdam Declaration on Fungal Nomenclature (250 citations)

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

Treena I. Burgess mainly investigates Botany, Ecology, Phytophthora, Eucalyptus and Phytophthora cinnamomi. Botany is often connected to Phylogenetic tree in his work. His Ecology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Genetic diversity and Corymbia calophylla.

His Phytophthora research integrates issues from Range, Phylogenetics, Clade, Taxon and Hybrid. Treena I. Burgess works mostly in the field of Eucalyptus, limiting it down to topics relating to Blight and, in certain cases, Tropics, as a part of the same area of interest. His work on Eucalyptus marginata as part of general Phytophthora cinnamomi study is frequently linked to Aeroponics, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (53.11%)
  • Ecology (44.92%)
  • Phytophthora (34.75%)

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

  • Phytophthora (34.75%)
  • Phytophthora cinnamomi (14.97%)
  • Ecology (44.92%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Phytophthora, Phytophthora cinnamomi, Ecology, Botany and Eucalyptus. His work deals with themes such as Phylogenetic tree, Oomycete, Soil test, Hybrid and Species diversity, which intersect with Phytophthora. His study in Phytophthora cinnamomi is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Inoculation, Host, Infestation and Water content.

In Ecology, Treena I. Burgess works on issues like Corymbia calophylla, which are connected to Habitat fragmentation and Forest ecology. Botany is closely attributed to Phylogenetics in his work. Treena I. Burgess interconnects Monoculture, Acacia mearnsii, Tropics and Sowing in the investigation of issues within Eucalyptus.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Current status of the Botryosphaeriaceae in Australia (21 citations)
  • Current status of the Botryosphaeriaceae in Australia (21 citations)
  • Global biogeography and invasion risk of the plant pathogen genus Phytophthora (16 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Genus

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Phytophthora, Eucalyptus, Botany and Biosecurity. His Ecology research includes themes of Botryosphaeria dothidea, Canker and Lasiodiplodia theobromae. He has researched Phytophthora in several fields, including Community, Rarefaction and Community composition.

Botryosphaeria, Diplodia, Lasiodiplodia and Taxonomy is closely connected to Neofusicoccum in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Eucalyptus. Treena I. Burgess combines topics linked to Phylogenetics with his work on Botany. His work focuses on many connections between Biosecurity and other disciplines, such as Blight, that overlap with his field of interest in Forest management.
