Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Phytoplankton
  • Ecosystem

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Phytoplankton, Plankton, Zooplankton and Nutrient. His Ecosystem, Pelagic zone, Eutrophication, Ecological succession and Trophic level investigations are all subjects of Ecology research. His work carried out in the field of Phytoplankton brings together such families of science as Biomass, Mesocosm, Climate change and Diatom.

His research in Zooplankton intersects with topics in Copepod and Grazing. His studies deal with areas such as Species richness, Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis, Species diversity, Algae and Benthic zone as well as Nutrient. His research integrates issues of Global warming and Bloom in his study of Spring bloom.

His most cited work include:

  • The PEG-model of seasonal succession of planktonic events in fresh waters (1598 citations)
  • Global warming benefits the small in aquatic ecosystems (923 citations)
  • Impacts of multiple stressors on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning: the role of species co‐tolerance (486 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Phytoplankton, Plankton, Zooplankton and Mesocosm. His study involves Trophic level, Food web, Copepod, Pelagic zone and Grazing, a branch of Ecology. His work deals with themes such as Biomass and Botany, Algae, which intersect with Phytoplankton.

His Plankton study incorporates themes from Global warming, Dominance, Ecological succession and Predation. His Zooplankton research incorporates themes from Trophic cascade and Microbial food web. His work carried out in the field of Mesocosm brings together such families of science as Environmental chemistry, Climate change, Ocean acidification and Algal bloom.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (66.18%)
  • Phytoplankton (52.94%)
  • Plankton (31.62%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Ecology (66.18%)
  • Phytoplankton (52.94%)
  • Plankton (31.62%)

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

His main research concerns Ecology, Phytoplankton, Plankton, Trophic level and Mesocosm. His study in Zooplankton, Biomass, Ecosystem, Biodiversity and Pelagic zone falls under the purview of Ecology. The various areas that he examines in his Phytoplankton study include Eutrophication and Botany.

His research in Plankton tackles topics such as Bay which are related to areas like Red tide. His Trophic level research integrates issues from Isotope analysis, Copepod, δ15N and Food chain. His Mesocosm study also includes

  • Ocean acidification, which have a strong connection to Global warming, Grazing pressure and Primary producers,
  • Environmental chemistry together with Emiliania huxleyi,
  • Bacterivore most often made with reference to Microbial food web.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Effects of sea surface warming on marine plankton. (110 citations)
  • Warming and Ocean Acidification Effects on Phytoplankton--From Species Shifts to Size Shifts within Species in a Mesocosm Experiment. (62 citations)
  • Impact of warming on phyto‐bacterioplankton coupling and bacterial community composition in experimental mesocosms (58 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Phytoplankton
  • Ecosystem

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Phytoplankton, Plankton, Mesocosm and Trophic level. His studies in Zooplankton, Biomass, Biodiversity, Ecosystem and Abundance are all subfields of Ecology research. His study in Phytoplankton is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Botany, Algae and Predation.

His Plankton research focuses on subjects like Global warming, which are linked to Rare species, Ditylum brightwellii and Global change. His studies in Mesocosm integrate themes in fields like Spring bloom, Algal bloom, Effects of global warming on oceans, Microbial food web and Ocean acidification. The Trophic level study combines topics in areas such as Copepod and δ15N.
