Augusto C. Franco has included themes like Dry season, Host and Horticulture in his Botany study.
His work on Carbon sequestration expands to the thematically related Ecology.
His Agronomy study incorporates themes from Floodplain, Soil nutrients and Specific leaf area.
His work in Soil water covers topics such as Vegetation which are related to areas like Herbaceous plant, Silviculture, Liana, Species diversity and Disturbance.
His studies in Transpiration integrate themes in fields like Erythroxylum and Stomatal conductance.
Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Climate seasonality limits leaf carbon assimilation and wood productivity in tropical forests (67 citations)
- Cerrado vegetation and global change: the role of functional types, resource availability and disturbance in regulating plant community responses to rising CO2 levels and climate warming (54 citations)
- Convergence of bark investment according to fire and climate structures ecosystem vulnerability to future change. (52 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Augusto C. Franco spends much of his time researching Ecology, Ecosystem, Botany, Carbon cycle and Vegetation.
Augusto C. Franco works mostly in the field of Ecology, limiting it down to topics relating to Carbon sequestration and, in certain cases, Biome, Tropical savanna climate and Tropical climate.
His study in Ecosystem is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Agroforestry, Agronomy, Germination, Colonization and Epigeal.
His work on Transpiration, Photosynthesis and Cultivar as part of general Botany research is often related to Carbohydrate storage and Trait, thus linking different fields of science.
His Carbon cycle research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Photosynthetic capacity, Canopy, Productivity and Evapotranspiration.
His study looks at the relationship between Vegetation and fields such as Soil water, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.
