  • 2018 - Fellow of the American Society of Agronomy (ASA)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Organic chemistry

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Horticulture, Photosynthesis, Agronomy and Shoot. Bruce Bugbee interconnects Productivity, Soil contamination and Mineralization in the investigation of issues within Botany. The Dry weight and Chlorophyll research Bruce Bugbee does as part of his general Horticulture study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Chlorophyll meter, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

His Photosynthesis study incorporates themes from Pepper and Animal science. His Agronomy research includes elements of Agriculture and Process. In his study, Xylem, Chromatography, Octanol and Organic compound is strongly linked to Transpiration stream, which falls under the umbrella field of Shoot.

His most cited work include:

  • Inherent limitations of nondestructive chlorophyll meters: a comparison of two types of meters. (217 citations)
  • Chemical hydrophobicity and uptake by plant roots. (193 citations)
  • Exploring the Limits of Crop Productivity: I. Photosynthetic Efficiency of Wheat in High Irradiance Environments (163 citations)

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

Bruce Bugbee spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Horticulture, Photosynthesis, Botany and Cultivar. His Agronomy research includes themes of Biomass, photoperiodism and Plant physiology. His studies deal with areas such as Halide and Blue light as well as Horticulture.

His Photosynthesis study which covers Canopy that intersects with Atmospheric sciences. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Nutrient and Animal science. His work deals with themes such as Specific leaf area and Phytochrome, which intersect with Dry weight.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (24.15%)
  • Horticulture (20.34%)
  • Photosynthesis (19.49%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Horticulture (20.34%)
  • Photosynthesis (19.49%)
  • Photon (3.39%)

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

His primary areas of study are Horticulture, Photosynthesis, Photon, Light-emitting diode and Blue light. His work on Hydroponic culture, Hydroponics and Drought stress as part of general Horticulture study is frequently connected to Copper toxicity and Deficit irrigation, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His research investigates the connection between Photosynthesis and topics such as Atmospheric sciences that intersect with problems in Canopy photosynthesis and Canopy.

His Light-emitting diode study combines topics in areas such as Biochemical engineering, Engineering physics and Current. As part of the same scientific family, Bruce Bugbee usually focuses on Blue light, concentrating on Steady state and intersecting with Stomatal conductance. His research investigates the connection between Stomatal conductance and topics such as Transpiration that intersect with problems in Agronomy.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • LEDs for photons, physiology and food (93 citations)
  • From physics to fixtures to food: current and potential LED efficacy. (22 citations)
  • Far‐red photons have equivalent efficiency to traditional photosynthetic photons: Implications for redefining photosynthetically active radiation (22 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Organic chemistry

His scientific interests lie mostly in Light-emitting diode, Photosynthesis, Carbon fixation, Agronomy and Photon. His study in Light-emitting diode is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Efficient energy use, Engineering physics and Current. His Photosynthesis study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Steady state and Quantum yield.

His studies deal with areas such as Blue light, Horticulture, Water-use efficiency, Co2 concentration and Stomatal conductance as well as Quantum yield. His Agronomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Halophyte and Atriplex gardneri. His Photon research incorporates elements of Far-red, Radiation and Sunlight.
