Plant Ecology and Taxonomy Studies
Plant Ecology and Taxonomy Studies is a research topic within Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics. Science Explorer counts 8.2k research works in it since 1950. 12.2% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the systematics, phylogeny, and evolution of the Brassicaceae family, commonly known as the cabbage or mustard family. It explores molecular systematics, biogeography, and species diversity using chloroplast and nuclear DNA sequences. The research also delves into the taxonomy and evolutionary history of different tribes within the Brassicaceae.

How concentrated that is
The same countries as shares of everything the list above accounts for. A node where two countries do two thirds of the work and one spread evenly across twelve read alike as a ranking and not at all alike here.
