Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

Brendan Choat spends much of his time researching Xylem, Botany, Hydraulic conductivity, Ecology and Water transport. His Xylem research incorporates themes from Porosity and Woody plant. As a part of the same scientific family, Brendan Choat mostly works in the field of Botany, focusing on Biophysics and, on occasion, Vitis vinifera and Hardwood.

His Hydraulic conductivity research focuses on Transpiration and how it connects with Composite material. He brings together Water transport and Agronomy to produce work in his papers. The various areas that Brendan Choat examines in his Climate change study include Biodiversity and Biome.

His most cited work include:

  • Global convergence in the vulnerability of forests to drought (1256 citations)
  • Structure and function of bordered pits: new discoveries and impacts on whole-plant hydraulic function (366 citations)
  • Triggers of tree mortality under drought (316 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Xylem, Botany, Hydraulic conductivity, Water transport and Ecology. His research integrates issues of Soil science, Woody plant and Transpiration in his study of Xylem. His Transpiration research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Canopy and Stomatal conductance.

His work on Tracheid, Evergreen, Vitis vinifera and Rainforest as part of general Botany research is often related to X-ray microtomography, thus linking different fields of science. Brendan Choat works mostly in the field of Hydraulic conductivity, limiting it down to topics relating to Intraspecific competition and, in certain cases, Interspecific competition, as a part of the same area of interest. His work is dedicated to discovering how Biome, Arid are connected with Adaptation and other disciplines.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Xylem (60.80%)
  • Botany (48.80%)
  • Hydraulic conductivity (24.80%)

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

  • Xylem (60.80%)
  • Agronomy (17.60%)
  • Drought tolerance (8.80%)

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

Xylem, Agronomy, Drought tolerance, Ecology and Tree species are his primary areas of study. He is investigating Horticulture and Botany as part of his examination of Xylem. His work carried out in the field of Horticulture brings together such families of science as Irrigation and Transpiration.

The concepts of his Botany study are interwoven with issues in Global biodiversity and Acacia aneura. His Agronomy research incorporates elements of Eucalyptus and Ecosystem respiration. Brendan Choat interconnects Hydraulic conductivity, Water use, Intraspecific competition and Hakea leucoptera in the investigation of issues within Drought tolerance.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (179 citations)
  • Hanging by a thread? Forests and drought (61 citations)
  • Drought response strategies and hydraulic traits contribute to mechanistic understanding of plant dry-down to hydraulic failure. (26 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Drought tolerance, Eucalyptus, Tree species and Climate change. His Biomass study, which is part of a larger body of work in Agronomy, is frequently linked to Critical level and Principal mechanism, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Eucalyptus study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Desiccation, Woody plant, Xylem and Resistance.

Xylem is closely attributed to Drought stress in his work. His Tree species study which covers Nutrient that intersects with Water stress and Biodiversity. His study looks at the relationship between Climate change and topics such as Eddy covariance, which overlap with Vegetation.
