David M. Eissenstat

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Ecology
• Botany
• Ecosystem

David M. Eissenstat mainly focuses on Botany, Ecology, Agronomy, Respiration and Nutrient. His research in the fields of Root system and Dry weight overlaps with other disciplines such as Root and Longevity. The concepts of his Agronomy study are interwoven with issues in Soil biology, Artemisia and Competition.

His Respiration research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Nitrate uptake and Horticulture. His work deals with themes such as Canopy and Nitrate, which intersect with Horticulture. The Nutrient study combines topics in areas such as Plant morphology and Ectomycorrhiza.

His most cited work include:

• The Ecology of Root Lifespan (656 citations)
• Building roots in a changing environment: implications for root longevity (643 citations)
• Linking litter calcium, earthworms and soil properties: a common garden test with 14 tree species (492 citations)

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

David M. Eissenstat mainly investigates Botany, Agronomy, Horticulture, Ecology and Nutrient. His Mycorrhiza research extends to the thematically linked field of Botany. His research integrates issues of Plant physiology, Soil water, Competition and Water content in his study of Agronomy.

His Horticulture study combines topics in areas such as Canopy and Irrigation. His work on Ecosystem, Temperate climate, Soil organic matter and Phenology as part of general Ecology study is frequently linked to Root, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Nutrient study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Foraging, Colonization and Woody plant.

He most often published in these fields:

• Botany (39.47%)
• Agronomy (30.00%)
• Horticulture (22.11%)

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

• Ecosystem (11.58%)
• Agronomy (30.00%)
• Temperate climate (10.00%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecosystem, Agronomy, Temperate climate, Botany and Ecology. His work in the fields of Primary productivity overlaps with other areas such as Annual production. His work on Grazing and Standing crop as part of general Agronomy study is frequently linked to Bearing and Turnover, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Abundance and Ecology in addition to Botany. His work blends Ecology and Root studies together. His Ectomycorrhiza research incorporates elements of Nutrient and Root system.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Evolutionary history resolves global organization of root functional traits (173 citations)
• Building a better foundation: improving root-trait measurements to understand and model plant and ecosystem processes (77 citations)
• Reviews and syntheses: on the roles trees play in building and plumbing the critical zone (75 citations)

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

• Ecology
• Botany
• Ecosystem

David M. Eissenstat focuses on Ecosystem, Oil shale, Ecology, Observatory and Nutrient. His Ecosystem research integrates issues from Productivity, Steppe, Basal area and Spatial variability. In most of his Ecology studies, his work intersects topics such as Symbiosis.

David M. Eissenstat interconnects Abundance, Botany, Foraging and Ectomycorrhiza in the investigation of issues within Nutrient. In general Soil water study, his work on Soil organic matter often relates to the realm of Chemistry, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His studies deal with areas such as Agronomy and Temperate climate as well as Forest ecology.
