Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

Derek Eamus mostly deals with Ecology, Botany, Wet season, Dry season and Transpiration. Derek Eamus has researched Ecology in several fields, including Atmospheric sciences and Agronomy. The various areas that Derek Eamus examines in his Botany study include Forest management and Groundwater-dependent ecosystems.

His work deals with themes such as Canopy, Eddy covariance and Tropical savanna climate, Eucalyptus miniata, which intersect with Wet season. The Dry season study combines topics in areas such as Seasonality, Deciduous, Vapour Pressure Deficit and Evergreen. His Transpiration study incorporates themes from Soil water, Horticulture and Stomatal conductance.

His most cited work include:

  • Tree allometry and improved estimation of carbon stocks and balance in tropical forests (1964 citations)
  • The Direct Effects of Increase in the Global Atmospheric CO2 Concentration on Natural and Commercial Temperate Trees and Forests (657 citations)
  • Reconciling the optimal and empirical approaches to modelling stomatal conductance (522 citations)

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

Botany, Ecology, Stomatal conductance, Transpiration and Hydrology are his primary areas of study. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Dry season, Horticulture and Wet season. His Stomatal conductance research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Specific leaf area, Xylem and Water-use efficiency.

Derek Eamus interconnects Canopy and Agronomy in the investigation of issues within Transpiration. His research integrates issues of Soil water and Vegetation in his study of Hydrology. His research in Evapotranspiration tackles topics such as Eddy covariance which are related to areas like Atmospheric sciences.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (29.67%)

  • Stomatal conductance (19.29%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Ecosystem (14.84%)
  • Ecology (25.52%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (13.95%)

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

Derek Eamus spends much of his time researching Ecosystem, Ecology, Atmospheric sciences, Hydrology and Eddy covariance. His Ecosystem research incorporates elements of Climatology, Evapotranspiration, Vegetation, Water cycle and Arid. His Ecology study frequently involves adjacent topics like Ecophysiology.

His Atmospheric sciences study also includes

  • Primary production which is related to area like Vapour Pressure Deficit,
  • Water-use efficiency, which have a strong connection to Water content. His work in Hydrology tackles topics such as Transpiration which are related to areas like Stomatal conductance, Moisture and Latent heat. His research on Stomatal conductance concerns the broader Botany.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Optimal stomatal behaviour around the world (214 citations)
  • An introduction to the Australian and New Zealand flux tower network - OzFlux (90 citations)
  • Abrupt shifts in phenology and vegetation productivity under climate extremes (79 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Ecosystem, Evapotranspiration, Biome and Atmospheric sciences. Derek Eamus regularly links together related areas like Transpiration in his Ecology studies. His Ecosystem study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Water cycle, Climatology, Woodland and Stomatal conductance.

His Biome study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Terrestrial ecosystem, Vegetation and Environmental resource management. His Atmospheric sciences research incorporates themes from Photosynthetic capacity, Eddy covariance, Carbon cycle and Leaf area index. Derek Eamus works mostly in the field of Photosynthesis, limiting it down to topics relating to Soil water and, in certain cases, Botany.
