Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Bacteria

William D. Taylor mainly investigates Ecology, Plankton, Nutrient, Environmental chemistry and Aquatic ecosystem. His study in Habitat, Ciliate, Abundance, Ecosystem and Littoral zone falls under the purview of Ecology. His Plankton study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Trophic level and Biomass.

His work deals with themes such as Pelagic zone and Botany, which intersect with Nutrient. The various areas that William D. Taylor examines in his Environmental chemistry study include Phytoplankton, Zooplankton, Algae, Water quality and Eutrophication. His Aquatic ecosystem research integrates issues from Productivity, Freshwater ecosystem, Microorganism and Aquatic plant.

His most cited work include:

  • The nearshore phosphorus shunt: a consequence of ecosystem engineering by dreissenids in the Laurentian Great Lakes (554 citations)
  • Dimensions of Riparian Buffer Strips Required to Maintain Trout Habitat in Southern Ontario Streams (215 citations)
  • Phosphate concentrations in lakes (211 citations)

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

Ecology, Plankton, Nutrient, Environmental chemistry and Zooplankton are his primary areas of study. His work in Biomass, Phytoplankton, Ciliate, Algae and Predation are all subfields of Ecology research. His studies in Plankton integrate themes in fields like Picoplankton, Cycling, Hydrobiology and Trophic level, Food web.

His Nutrient research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Photosynthesis, Botany, Nitrogen fixation, Aquatic ecosystem and Animal science. His work focuses on many connections between Environmental chemistry and other disciplines, such as Eutrophication, that overlap with his field of interest in Water quality, Pelagic zone, Mesocosm and Benthic zone. His Zooplankton research incorporates themes from Dominance, Epilimnion and Planktivore.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (54.21%)
  • Plankton (32.71%)
  • Nutrient (22.43%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Environmental chemistry (19.63%)
  • Ecology (54.21%)
  • Eutrophication (11.21%)

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

His primary areas of study are Environmental chemistry, Ecology, Eutrophication, Nutrient and Plankton. His Environmental chemistry research incorporates elements of Membrane, Nitrification and Water column. William D. Taylor combines subjects such as Wastewater and Drainage basin with his study of Ecology.

His research integrates issues of Mesocosm, Ecosystem, Algae, Water quality and Benthic zone in his study of Eutrophication. His work carried out in the field of Nutrient brings together such families of science as Photosynthesis, Agriculture and Three gorges. His Plankton research incorporates elements of Picoplankton, Cycling, Particulates, Mineralogy and Aquatic ecosystem.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Effects of deposit-feeding tubificid worms and filter-feeding bivalves on benthic-pelagic coupling: Implications for the restoration of eutrophic shallow lakes (30 citations)
  • Culturability and survival of marine, freshwater and clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa. (26 citations)
  • Effects of benthic-feeding common carp and filter-feeding silver carp on benthic-pelagic coupling: Implications for shallow lake management (23 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Bacteria

William D. Taylor spends much of his time researching Eutrophication, Ecology, Environmental planning, Water quality and Environmental chemistry. He has included themes like Benthic zone and Algae in his Eutrophication study. The Nutrient and Agriculture research he does as part of his general Ecology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Hypoxia, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

His studies deal with areas such as Drainage basin, Chemical contaminants, Ecosystem and Land use as well as Environmental planning. His Water quality research incorporates themes from Algal bloom, Terrestrial ecosystem, Growing season and Acid rain. His study in Environmental chemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Wastewater, Isotope analysis, Nitrification and Effluent.
