W.H. van der Putten

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Ecology
• Ecosystem
• Botany

W.H. van der Putten focuses on Ecology, Plant community, Botany, Ecosystem and Species richness. Ecological succession, Invasive species, Interspecific competition, Abiotic component and Biodiversity are the primary areas of interest in his Ecology study. His Abiotic component study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ammophila arenaria, Vegetation and Mycorrhiza.

His study in Plant community is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Soil biology and Biological dispersal. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and Mycorrhizal fungi. The Ecosystem study which covers Environmental resource management that intersects with Ecological network, Non-trophic networks and Soil ecology.

His most cited work include:

• Plant-specific soil-borne diseases contribute to succession in foredune vegetation (518 citations)
• Species divergence and trait convergence in experimental plant community assembly (500 citations)
• Plant-soil biota interactions and spatial distribution of black cherry in its native and invasive ranges (316 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Botany, Agronomy, Ammophila arenaria and Plant community. His study in Ecosystem, Soil biology, Range, Ecological succession and Biodiversity falls within the category of Ecology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biomass and Rhizosphere.

His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Habitat, Nutrient and Mineralization. W.H. van der Putten has included themes like Nematode, Heterodera and Pratylenchus in his Ammophila arenaria study. His studies in Plant community integrate themes in fields like Biological dispersal and Species richness.

He most often published in these fields:

• Ecology (48.92%)
• Botany (31.65%)
• Agronomy (23.74%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2020)?

• Ecology (48.92%)
• Range (13.67%)
• Ecosystem services (8.63%)

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

His main research concerns Ecology, Range, Ecosystem services, Soil biology and Botany. His study in Abiotic component, Plant community, Generalist and specialist species, Functional diversity and Dominance is done as part of Ecology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Soil biodiversity, Biodiversity, Soil health and Environmental resource management in addition to Ecosystem services.

His work on Soil food web as part of general Soil biology research is often related to Human life, thus linking different fields of science. His research investigates the connection with Soil food web and areas like Mineralization which intersect with concerns in Agronomy. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biomass, Rhizosphere, Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and Carbon cycle.

Between 2013 and 2020, his most popular works were:

• Global soil biodiversity atlas (57 citations)
• Crop yield gap and stability in organic and conventional farming systems (53 citations)
• Urban and agricultural soils: conflicts and trade-offs in the optimization of ecosystem services (42 citations)

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

• Ecology
• Ecosystem
• Botany

His primary areas of study are Ecosystem services, Ecology, Agronomy, Agriculture and Soil food web. The various areas that W.H. van der Putten examines in his Ecosystem services study include Biodiversity and Natural resource economics. His is involved in several facets of Ecology study, as is seen by his studies on Abiotic component, Species diversity, Trophic level, Plant community and Host.

His Abiotic component research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ammophila arenaria, Sand dune stabilization, Ecological succession and Plant physiology. W.H. van der Putten interconnects Nutrient cycle, Soil carbon, Soil organic matter and Arable land in the investigation of issues within Agronomy. His studies deal with areas such as Gigantea, Botany, Organic matter, Biomass and Species richness as well as Soil biology.
