Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Gene

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Water-use efficiency, Abscisic acid, Specific leaf area and Stomatal conductance. His studies in Botany integrate themes in fields like Proline and Horticulture. His Water-use efficiency research includes themes of Biomass and Cutting.

His Abscisic acid study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as photoperiodism and Cold acclimation. His research in Specific leaf area intersects with topics in Woody plant, Agronomy and Transpiration. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Photosynthesis, concentrating on Salicaceae and intersecting with Drought tolerance.

His most cited work include:

  • Differences in some morphological, physiological, and biochemical responses to drought stress in two contrasting populations of Populus przewalskii (196 citations)
  • Sex-specific responses of Populus cathayana to drought and elevated temperatures. (144 citations)
  • Population differences in physiological and morphological adaptations of Populus davidiana seedlings in response to progressive drought stress (144 citations)

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

Chunyang Li mainly investigates Botany, Photosynthesis, Horticulture, Water-use efficiency and Abscisic acid. Botany is a component of his Shoot, Transpiration, Specific leaf area, Stomatal conductance and Photosynthetic capacity studies. His Photosynthesis study which covers Animal science that intersects with Nitrate reductase.

The concepts of his Horticulture study are interwoven with issues in Biomass, Proline, Nutrient and Picea asperata. Water-use efficiency is a subfield of Agronomy that Chunyang Li tackles. His Abscisic acid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in photoperiodism, Cold acclimation and Plant physiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (83.46%)
  • Photosynthesis (34.59%)
  • Horticulture (33.08%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2016)?

  • Botany (83.46%)
  • Photosynthesis (34.59%)
  • Photosynthetic capacity (12.03%)

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

Chunyang Li focuses on Botany, Photosynthesis, Photosynthetic capacity, Dioecy and Horticulture. His study in Shoot and Acclimatization is carried out as part of his Botany studies. Within one scientific family, Chunyang Li focuses on topics pertaining to Dry matter under Shoot, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Rootstock and Carbohydrate.

Chunyang Li is studying Stomatal conductance, which is a component of Photosynthesis. The various areas that Chunyang Li examines in his Photosynthetic capacity study include Biomass, Proline and Water-use efficiency. His Horticulture research incorporates themes from Cunninghamia, Subalpine forest, Specific leaf area and Transpiration.

Between 2012 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Sexually different physiological responses of Populus cathayana to nitrogen and phosphorus deficiencies (69 citations)
  • Intra‐ and inter‐sexual competition of Populus cathayana under different watering regimes (51 citations)
  • Sexual differences in photosynthetic activity, ultrastructure and phytoremediation potential of Populus cathayana exposed to lead and drought (34 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Gene

Chunyang Li spends much of his time researching Botany, Competition, Photosynthetic capacity, Dioecy and Biomass. The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Carbohydrate metabolism, Carbohydrate storage and Horticulture. His work deals with themes such as Cunninghamia and Transpiration, which intersect with Horticulture.

His Competition study combines topics in areas such as Sexual selection, Interspecific competition and Sexual dimorphism. His research in Sexual dimorphism focuses on subjects like Populus cathayana, which are connected to Water-use efficiency. His Photosynthetic capacity research focuses on Dry weight and how it relates to Field capacity, Phytoremediation and Reproduction.
