Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Horticulture

Ep Heuvelink mostly deals with Agronomy, Horticulture, Dry matter, Greenhouse and Botany. The Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Light intensity, Pepper, Maintenance respiration and Interception. Ep Heuvelink has included themes like Abscisic acid and Transpiration in his Horticulture study.

His work deals with themes such as Anthesis, Dry weight and Specific leaf area, which intersect with Dry matter. His Specific leaf area study incorporates themes from Photosynthetically active radiation and Sowing. His study looks at the intersection of Botany and topics like Carbon dioxide with RuBisCO and Biophysics.

His most cited work include:

  • Modelling biomass production and yield of horticultural crops: a review (354 citations)
  • Flower and fruit abortion in sweet pepper in relation to source and sink strength (151 citations)
  • Evaluation of a Dynamic Simulation Model for Tomato Crop Growth and Development (126 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Horticulture, Agronomy, Greenhouse, Botany and Dry weight. His Horticulture research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Photosynthesis, Dry matter and Light intensity. His research integrates issues of Canopy and Carbon dioxide in his study of Photosynthesis.

His Agronomy research incorporates themes from Nutrient and Interception. Ep Heuvelink has researched Greenhouse in several fields, including Agricultural engineering and Plant density. His studies in Dry weight integrate themes in fields like Relative growth rate and Specific leaf area.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Horticulture (47.24%)
  • Agronomy (23.20%)
  • Greenhouse (19.61%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Horticulture (47.24%)
  • Photosynthesis (10.50%)
  • Botany (16.02%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Horticulture, Photosynthesis, Botany, Greenhouse and Agronomy. His Horticulture research includes elements of Far-red and Plant development. His Photosynthesis research integrates issues from Carbon dioxide and Respiration.

His Botany research includes themes of Light intensity and Abscisic acid. In general Greenhouse, his work in Greenhouse production is often linked to Balance linking many areas of study. Horticultural crops is closely connected to Nutrient in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Agronomy.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Dynamic photosynthesis in different environmental conditions (89 citations)
  • Enhancement of crop photosynthesis by diffuse light: quantifying the contributing factors (65 citations)
  • Metabolic and diffusional limitations of photosynthesis in fluctuating irradiance in Arabidopsis thaliana (43 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Horticulture

His primary areas of study are Horticulture, Botany, Photosynthesis, Cultivar and Stomatal conductance. His work on Dry weight and Greenhouse as part of his general Horticulture study is frequently connected to Shading, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. He has included themes like Light intensity and Abscisic acid in his Botany study.

The concepts of his Photosynthesis study are interwoven with issues in Solanum, Canopy and Carbon dioxide. His Cultivar study incorporates themes from Anthurium and Plant growth. His Sowing study in the realm of Agronomy interacts with subjects such as Source sink.
