Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Photosynthesis

His primary areas of study are Botany, Stomatal conductance, Chlorophyll, Quercus petraea and Photosynthesis. His Horticulture research extends to the thematically linked field of Botany. His studies deal with areas such as Agronomy and Shoot as well as Stomatal conductance.

His research investigates the connection between Chlorophyll and topics such as Chlorophyll a that intersect with issues in Photorespiration, Quercus cerris and Chlorophyll fluorescence. His Quercus petraea research incorporates elements of Xylem and Photosystem II. His study looks at the relationship between Photosynthesis and fields such as Acclimatization, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His most cited work include:

  • In situ estimation of net CO2 assimilation, photosynthetic electron flow and photorespiration in Turkey oak (Q. cerris L.) leaves: diurnal cycles under different levels of water supply (360 citations)
  • Photosynthesis of oak trees [Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.] during drought under field conditions: diurnal course of net CO2 assimilation and photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (181 citations)

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

Erwin Dreyer mainly focuses on Botany, Photosynthesis, Stomatal conductance, Horticulture and Forestry. Quercus petraea, Quercus robur, Fagaceae, Environmental factor and Chlorophyll are the subjects of his Botany studies. His work on Photosystem II, Photoinhibition and Chlorophyll fluorescence as part of general Photosynthesis study is frequently linked to Photochemistry, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His Stomatal conductance study combines topics in areas such as Xylem, Agronomy, Shoot and Transpiration. His Horticulture study incorporates themes from Photosynthetic capacity, Acclimatization, Genotype and Plant physiology. His Forestry course of study focuses on Water stress and Water deficit, Drought resistance and Cutting.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (56.64%)
  • Photosynthesis (28.32%)
  • Stomatal conductance (28.32%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Botany (56.64%)
  • Horticulture (29.20%)
  • Gene flow (7.08%)

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

His main research concerns Botany, Horticulture, Gene flow, Stomatal conductance and Transpiration. He integrates many fields in his works, including Botany and Spatial distribution. Erwin Dreyer interconnects Photosynthetically active radiation, Genotype and Interception in the investigation of issues within Horticulture.

His Stomatal conductance study is concerned with the larger field of Photosynthesis. His Photosynthesis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Vegetation and Respiration. The various areas that Erwin Dreyer examines in his Transpiration study include Genetic variability, Agronomy and Interspecific competition.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Acclimation and adaptation components of the temperature dependence of plant photosynthesis at the global scale (61 citations)
  • Increased light-use efficiency sustains net primary productivity of shaded coffee plants in agroforestry system. (31 citations)
  • Genotype differences in 13C discrimination between atmosphere and leaf matter match differences in transpiration efficiency at leaf and whole‐plant levels in hybrid Populus deltoides ×nigra (17 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Photosynthesis

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Stomatal conductance, Transpiration, Horticulture and Photosynthesis. In general Botany, his work in Diameter at breast height is often linked to Spatial distribution linking many areas of study. His Stomatal conductance study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ecosystem, Vegetation, Adaptation, Acclimatization and Tropical rainforest.

His studies in Transpiration integrate themes in fields like Water use and Genetic variability. In his articles, Erwin Dreyer combines various disciplines, including Horticulture and Plant level. His Photosynthesis research includes elements of Genotype and Respiration.
