Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Horticulture

His main research concerns Botany, Horticulture, Canopy, Malus and Photosynthesis. The concepts of his Botany study are interwoven with issues in Thinning and Agronomy. His studies in Horticulture integrate themes in fields like Crop and Respiration.

His Canopy research incorporates elements of Transpiration, Crop coefficient, Orchard, Irrigation management and Pruning. His research in Malus intersects with topics in Climate change and Phenology. His work in the fields of Photosynthesis, such as Leaf water, overlaps with other areas such as Tissue water.

His most cited work include:

  • Assessing root death and root system dynamics in a study of grape canopy pruning. (248 citations)
  • Climate change and shifts in spring phenology of three horticultural woody perennials in northeastern USA (210 citations)
  • Environmental and Physiological Regulation of Photosynthesis in Fruit Crops (128 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Horticulture, Agronomy, Botany, Canopy and Shoot. His Malus and Pruning study in the realm of Horticulture interacts with subjects such as Mathematics. The Pruning study combines topics in areas such as Growing season and Irrigation.

His Crop, Cover crop and Veraison study, which is part of a larger body of work in Agronomy, is frequently linked to Balance and Production model, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work on Rootstock and Respiration as part of general Botany research is frequently linked to Fruit abscission, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Canopy research integrates issues from Transpiration, Atmospheric sciences and Interception.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Horticulture (49.40%)
  • Agronomy (27.38%)
  • Botany (23.81%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Horticulture (49.40%)
  • Agronomy (27.38%)
  • Vine (8.93%)

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

His primary areas of study are Horticulture, Agronomy, Vine, Vineyard and Crop. His Horticulture research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Thinning and Botany. His study on Cover crop is often connected to Humid continental climate as part of broader study in Agronomy.

As a part of the same scientific family, Alan N. Lakso mostly works in the field of Vine, focusing on Irrigation and, on occasion, Pruning and Yield. His Vineyard research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Canopy and VNIR. The study incorporates disciplines such as Shoot and Agricultural science in addition to Crop.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Environmental and Physiological Regulation of Photosynthesis in Fruit Crops (128 citations)
  • Biodiversity ensures plant–pollinator phenological synchrony against climate change (126 citations)
  • The effects of pre- and post-veraison water stress on growth and physiology of potted Pinot Noir grapevines at varying crop levels (45 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Horticulture

Alan N. Lakso mainly focuses on Horticulture, Agronomy, Photosynthesis, Crop and Apple tree. Alan N. Lakso has included themes like Subtropics and Temperate climate in his Horticulture study. His work carried out in the field of Agronomy brings together such families of science as Vineyard and Evapotranspiration.

His study with Photosynthesis involves better knowledge in Botany. As a part of the same scientific study, Alan N. Lakso usually deals with the Crop, concentrating on Thinning and frequently concerns with Sunlight, Carbaryl and Carbohydrate balance. He combines subjects such as Abscission, Drop, Petal and Cultivar with his study of Apple tree.
