Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis, Carbon dioxide, Acclimatization, Botany and Stomatal conductance are his primary areas of study. His research on Photosynthesis focuses in particular on RuBisCO. His study in Carbon dioxide is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Photosynthetic capacity and Agronomy.

His Stomatal conductance research incorporates themes from Pyruvate carboxylase, Crop, Water content, Poaceae and C4 photosynthesis. His studies deal with areas such as Respiration, Atmospheric sciences and Transpiration as well as Ecology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Terrestrial plant and Photosynthetic acclimation.

His most cited work include:

  • The response of photosynthesis and stomatal conductance to rising [CO2]: mechanisms and environmental interactions. (1357 citations)
  • Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide: plants FACE the future (1282 citations)
  • Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide: plants FACE the future (1282 citations)

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

Alistair Rogers mainly investigates Photosynthesis, Atmospheric sciences, Botany, Agronomy and Carbon dioxide. He has included themes like Acclimatization and Animal science in his Photosynthesis study. Alistair Rogers has researched Atmospheric sciences in several fields, including Ecology, Biosphere, Canopy, Carbon cycle and Ecosystem.

His work in the fields of Ecology, such as Global change, intersects with other areas such as Biogeosciences. His work focuses on many connections between Agronomy and other disciplines, such as Nutrient, that overlap with his field of interest in Carbon fixation. Alistair Rogers works on Carbon dioxide which deals in particular with Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere.

  • Photosynthesis (52.48%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (23.40%)
  • Botany (23.40%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Photosynthesis (52.48%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (23.40%)
  • Biosphere (9.22%)

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

Alistair Rogers spends much of his time researching Photosynthesis, Atmospheric sciences, Biosphere, Ecosystem and Canopy. The various areas that Alistair Rogers examines in his Photosynthesis study include Acclimatization and Phosphate. His work investigates the relationship between Acclimatization and topics such as Carbon assimilation that intersect with problems in Ecophysiology and Ecology.

His Atmospheric sciences research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Carbon cycle, Arctic, Biome and Biosphere model. The concepts of his Biosphere study are interwoven with issues in Smoothing and Econometrics. His research integrates issues of Assimilation and Projection in his study of Ecosystem.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (179 citations)
  • Acclimation and adaptation components of the temperature dependence of plant photosynthesis at the global scale (61 citations)
  • Global photosynthetic capacity is optimized to the environment (56 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Enzyme

His primary areas of study are Trait, Atmospheric sciences, Ecosystem, Canopy and Acclimatization. Alistair Rogers interconnects Range, Tropics, Carbon cycle and RuBisCO in the investigation of issues within Atmospheric sciences. His Carbon cycle research includes themes of Photosynthetic capacity, Biosphere, Seasonality and Spatial variability.

His Ecosystem research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Dominance, Vegetation dynamics, Simulation and Panama. His Canopy study combines topics in areas such as Reflectance spectroscopy, Specific leaf area, Arctic and Biome. Alistair Rogers usually deals with Acclimatization and limits it to topics linked to Photosynthesis and Ecology.
