Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agronomy

Agronomy, Carbon dioxide, Growing season, Evapotranspiration and Botany are his primary areas of study. As part of his studies on Agronomy, Bruce A. Kimball often connects relevant subjects like Climate change. His Climate change research incorporates themes from Crop yield, Food security and Yield.

Bruce A. Kimball interconnects Photosynthesis, Stomatal conductance, Productivity, Biomass and Poaceae in the investigation of issues within Carbon dioxide. His research in Evapotranspiration intersects with topics in Mediterranean climate, Vegetation and Animal science. Bruce A. Kimball combines subjects such as Greenhouse effect and Trace gas with his study of Botany.

His most cited work include:

  • Rising Temperatures Reduce Global Wheat Production (801 citations)
  • Climate Impacts on Agriculture: Implications for Crop Production (709 citations)
  • Methodologies for simulating impacts of climate change on crop production (371 citations)

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

Bruce A. Kimball spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Carbon dioxide, Botany, Horticulture and Photosynthesis. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil water, Canopy and Evapotranspiration. His Canopy research focuses on Atmospheric sciences and how it relates to Energy balance, Climate change and Global warming.

His Evapotranspiration study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Latent heat and Water-use efficiency. His research in Carbon dioxide tackles topics such as Stomatal conductance which are related to areas like Transpiration. His Botany study incorporates themes from Loam and Orange.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (34.39%)
  • Carbon dioxide (28.46%)
  • Botany (28.06%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Agronomy (34.39%)
  • Canopy (15.02%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (12.65%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Canopy, Atmospheric sciences, Climate change and Crop. The study of Agronomy is intertwined with the study of Nitrogen assimilation in a number of ways. His studies deal with areas such as Field plot, Energy balance and Infrared heater as well as Canopy.

His work carried out in the field of Atmospheric sciences brings together such families of science as Hydrology, Microclimate, Ecosystem and Global change. The study incorporates disciplines such as Precipitation and Growing season in addition to Climate change. His Crop research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cultivar, Agriculture, Agricultural productivity, Soil water and Yield.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Rising Temperatures Reduce Global Wheat Production (801 citations)
  • Similar estimates of temperature impacts on global wheat yield by three independent methods (180 citations)
  • Nitrate assimilation is inhibited by elevated CO 2 in field-grown wheat (126 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

Bruce A. Kimball mainly focuses on Agronomy, Atmospheric sciences, Global warming, Growing season and Crop yield. His Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Ecophysiology and Nitrogen assimilation. His study looks at the relationship between Atmospheric sciences and topics such as Canopy, which overlap with Energy balance and Atmospheric instability.

The various areas that he examines in his Global warming study include Ecotone, Vegetation and Ecosystem. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Crop yield, Irrigation, Yield, Intensity, Thermal and Evapotranspiration is strongly linked to Sowing. His studies in Crop integrate themes in fields like Agriculture, Climate change and Yield.
