  • 1966 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Carbon dioxide

His scientific interests lie mostly in Nitrogen assimilation, Nitrate, Botany, Agronomy and Carbon dioxide. His Nitrogen assimilation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Assimilation and Shoot. Arnold J. Bloom combines subjects such as Nitrogen source, Apex and Horticulture with his study of Nitrate.

His work deals with themes such as Crystallography and Crop, which intersect with Botany. His Agronomy research incorporates elements of Ecophysiology and Nutrient. His Carbon dioxide research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Photosynthesis, Respiration and Hordeum vulgare.

His most cited work include:

  • Resource Limitation in Plants-An Economic Analogy (1966 citations)
  • Plant Responses to Multiple Environmental FactorsPhysiological ecology provides tools for studying how interacting environmental resources control plant growth (1045 citations)
  • Increasing CO2 threatens human nutrition (572 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Nitrate, Agronomy, Shoot and Carbon dioxide. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Horticulture and Nitrogen assimilation. His work carried out in the field of Nitrogen assimilation brings together such families of science as Photosynthesis, Photorespiration and Co2 concentration.

His research integrates issues of Environmental chemistry, Rhizosphere, Animal science and Hordeum vulgare in his study of Nitrate. His study explores the link between Agronomy and topics such as Nutrient that cross with problems in Soil water. He has included themes like Water use and Chlorophyll fluorescence in his Carbon dioxide study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (44.21%)
  • Nitrate (42.11%)
  • Agronomy (32.63%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Botany (44.21%)
  • Agronomy (32.63%)
  • Nitrate (42.11%)

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

Arnold J. Bloom mostly deals with Botany, Agronomy, Nitrate, Photorespiration and Nitrogen assimilation. In general Botany, his work in Photosynthetic capacity and Stomatal conductance is often linked to Quantitative trait locus and Chromosome 9 linking many areas of study. His work on Crop and Water-use efficiency as part of general Agronomy study is frequently linked to Deficit irrigation and Maturity, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His research in Nitrate intersects with topics in Rhizosphere, Carbon dioxide and Shoot. His research investigates the connection between Photorespiration and topics such as RuBisCO that intersect with problems in Plant protein. His study looks at the relationship between Nitrogen assimilation and topics such as Assimilation, which overlap with Co2 concentration.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Photorespiration and nitrate assimilation: a major intersection between plant carbon and nitrogen (103 citations)
  • The increasing importance of distinguishing among plant nitrogen sources. (91 citations)
  • Impacts of elevated atmospheric CO2 on nutrient content of important food crops (39 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Carbon dioxide

Arnold J. Bloom mainly investigates Nitrate, Photorespiration, Botany, Carbon dioxide and Arabidopsis. His Photorespiration research incorporates themes from Plant protein, RuBisCO and Nitrogen assimilation. His RuBisCO research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Biophysics, Assimilation, Carbon fixation and Futile cycle.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Rhizosphere, Biosphere, Nitrogen cycle and Inorganic nitrogen in addition to Carbon dioxide. Arnold J. Bloom regularly ties together related areas like Agronomy in his Respiration studies. His Agronomy research includes themes of Essential nutrient, Climate change and Nutrient content.
