Antonio Díaz-Espejo

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Botany
• Ecology
• Agriculture

Antonio Díaz-Espejo focuses on Photosynthesis, Botany, Stomatal conductance, Conductance and Photosynthetic capacity. In the subject of general Photosynthesis, his work in Chlorophyll fluorescence is often linked to Co2 leakage, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His work on Mitochondrial respiration, Respiration rate and Co2 exchange as part of his general Botany study is frequently connected to Volumetric flow rate and Observational error, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

Antonio Díaz-Espejo interconnects Mole, Olive trees, Horticulture and Water-use efficiency in the investigation of issues within Stomatal conductance. His Photosynthetic capacity research integrates issues from Water stress, Ecology and Oleaceae. Antonio Díaz-Espejo has researched Agronomy in several fields, including Plant physiology and Transpiration.

His most cited work include:

• Mesophyll conductance to CO2: current knowledge and future prospects (776 citations)
• Mesophyll diffusion conductance to CO2: an unappreciated central player in photosynthesis (431 citations)
• Rapid variations of mesophyll conductance in response to changes in CO2 concentration around leaves. (409 citations)

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

Stomatal conductance, Botany, Horticulture, Photosynthesis and Irrigation are his primary areas of study. His Stomatal conductance study incorporates themes from Soil water, Vapour Pressure Deficit and Water-use efficiency. His study in the field of Olea, Chlorophyll fluorescence and Oleaceae also crosses realms of Patch clamp.

Antonio Díaz-Espejo focuses mostly in the field of Horticulture, narrowing it down to matters related to Transpiration and, in some cases, Canopy, Woody plant and Orange. His work in the fields of Photosynthesis, such as Photosynthetic capacity and RuBisCO, intersects with other areas such as Conductance. The study incorporates disciplines such as Water use, Olive trees and Orchard in addition to Irrigation.

He most often published in these fields:

• Stomatal conductance (29.60%)
• Botany (30.40%)
• Horticulture (27.20%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2020)?

• Horticulture (27.20%)
• Irrigation (27.20%)
• Agronomy (24.80%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Horticulture, Irrigation, Agronomy, Stomatal conductance and Deficit irrigation. Orchard and Turgor pressure are subfields of Horticulture in which his conducts study. His Orchard research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Vapour Pressure Deficit, Transpiration and Irrigation scheduling.

His work carried out in the field of Irrigation brings together such families of science as Agricultural engineering and Soil water. His study on Stomatal conductance is covered under Photosynthesis. His research in the fields of Photosynthetic capacity overlaps with other disciplines such as Biogenesis, Olive oil and Water transport.

Between 2017 and 2020, his most popular works were:

• Water use indicators and economic analysis for on-farm irrigation decision: A case study of a super high density olive tree orchard (46 citations)
• Chloride as a macronutrient increases water‐use efficiency by anatomically driven reduced stomatal conductance and increased mesophyll diffusion to CO2 (23 citations)
• Effect of a regulated deficit irrigation strategy in a hedgerow ‘Arbequina’ olive orchard on the mesocarp fatty acid composition and desaturase gene expression with respect to olive oil quality (11 citations)

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

• Ecology
• Botany
• Agriculture

Antonio Díaz-Espejo focuses on Irrigation, Deficit irrigation, Water-use efficiency, Orchard and Agronomy. Antonio Díaz-Espejo works mostly in the field of Water-use efficiency, limiting it down to topics relating to Agricultural engineering and, in certain cases, Water use and Scale. His research in Orchard intersects with topics in Ripening and Canopy.

The various areas that he examines in his Agronomy study include Photosynthesis, Stomatal conductance and Nitrate. His Stomatal conductance research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Leaf water and Crop. His Agriculture research includes themes of Soil water, Irrigation scheduling and Olea.
