Overview

David T. Tissue is affiliated with Western Sydney University in Australia and has conducted research primarily in the fields of Agricultural and Biological Sciences and Environmental Science. Their work addresses multiple subfields, including Plant Science, Global and Planetary Change, Atmospheric Science, Nature and Landscape Conservation, and Molecular Biology.

The scientist's research focuses on several key topics, notably Plant Water Relations and Carbon Dynamics, Plant responses to elevated CO2, Tree-ring climate responses, Greenhouse Technology and Climate Control, Light effects on plants, Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies, and Plant responses to water stress.

David T. Tissue's recent publications reflect a concentration on plant physiology and environmental interactions. Notable papers include:

  • Mechanisms of woody-plant mortality under rising drought, CO2 and vapour pressure deficit (2022, Nature Reviews Earth & Environment)
  • Identifying areas at risk of drought-induced tree mortality across South-Eastern Australia (2020, Global Change Biology)
  • Silicon deposition on guard cells increases stomatal sensitivity as mediated by K+ efflux and consequently reduces stomatal conductance (2020, Physiologia Plantarum)
  • To what extent can rising [CO2] ameliorate plant drought stress? (2021, New Phytologist)
  • Low phosphorus supply constrains plant responses to elevated CO2: A meta-analysis (2020, Global Change Biology)

The scientist frequently publishes in several academic venues, including Frontiers in Plant Science, New Phytologist, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), SSRN Electronic Journal, and Global Change Biology.

Frequent collaborators in their research include Zhong-Hua Chen, Christopher I. Cazzonelli, Sachin G. Chavan, Brendan Choat, and Belinda E. Medlyn. These collaborations have contributed to a broad and interdisciplinary approach within their areas of study.
