Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

Agronomy, Steppe, Grassland, Bouteloua gracilis and Ecology are his primary areas of study. His research combines Soil water and Agronomy. His studies in Soil water integrate themes in fields like Biomass and Environmental chemistry.

His Grassland study combines topics in areas such as Climate change, Rangeland and Water content. His Water content research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Terrestrial ecosystem and Decomposer. His research integrates issues of Stipa and Growing season in his study of Bouteloua gracilis.

His most cited work include:

  • C4 grasses prosper as carbon dioxide eliminates desiccation in warmed semi-arid grassland. (359 citations)
  • Carbon dioxide enrichment alters plant community structure and accelerates shrub growth in the shortgrass steppe (195 citations)
  • Elevated CO2 enhances water relations and productivity and affects gas exchange in C3 and C4 grasses of the Colorado shortgrass steppe. (168 citations)

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

Daniel R. LeCain mostly deals with Agronomy, Soil water, Grassland, Bouteloua gracilis and Ecology. The concepts of his Agronomy study are interwoven with issues in Stomatal conductance and Water content. His work deals with themes such as Environmental chemistry and Growing season, which intersect with Soil water.

Daniel R. LeCain has included themes like Irrigation, Global warming, Climate change, Phenology and Arid in his Grassland study. The various areas that Daniel R. LeCain examines in his Bouteloua gracilis study include Steppe, Seedling and Photosynthetic acclimation. His Steppe research integrates issues from Stipa and Vegetation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (60.00%)
  • Soil water (31.67%)
  • Grassland (30.00%)

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

  • Agronomy (60.00%)
  • Grassland (30.00%)
  • Arid (8.33%)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Grassland, Arid, Ecology and Soil water. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Agroforestry, Soil carbon and Soil fertility. His study looks at the intersection of Grassland and topics like Irrigation with Carbon dioxide, Biomass, Mixed grass prairie, Field experiment and Plant community.

His work in Arid covers topics such as Perennial plant which are related to areas like Resistance and Soil horizon. His Soil water study combines topics in areas such as Greenhouse, Phenology and Transpiration. His Ecosystem study incorporates themes from Legume, Hesperostipa comata, Pascopyrum, Forage and Animal science.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Asymmetric responses of primary productivity to precipitation extremes: A synthesis of grassland precipitation manipulation experiments (95 citations)
  • Elevated CO2 induces substantial and persistent declines in forage quality irrespective of warming in mixedgrass prairie. (32 citations)
  • Root responses to elevated CO2, warming and irrigation in a semi‐arid grassland: Integrating biomass, length and life span in a 5‐year field experiment (12 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecosystem, Ecology, Carbon dioxide, Productivity and Primary production. His Ecosystem study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Growing season, Hesperostipa comata, Pascopyrum, Forage and Animal science. His research related to Bouteloua gracilis, Rangeland and Legume might be considered part of Ecology.

His research in Carbon dioxide intersects with topics in Grassland, Agronomy, Irrigation, Arid and Biomass. Daniel R. LeCain combines subjects such as Field experiment and Mixed grass prairie with his study of Biomass. He interconnects Climate change, Global change and Water cycle in the investigation of issues within Productivity.
