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.
