Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Photosynthesis

His main research concerns Ecology, Photosynthesis, Environmental chemistry, Botany and Carbon sequestration. The concepts of his Photosynthesis study are interwoven with issues in Phaseolus, Agronomy and Chlorophyll. His Environmental chemistry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Air pollution, Carbon dioxide, Ozone and RuBisCO.

His work on Carbon fixation as part of general Carbon dioxide research is frequently linked to Biotic component, bridging the gap between disciplines. Many of his studies on Botany involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Ambient ozone. His Carbon sequestration research includes themes of Microcosm, Soil carbon, Total organic carbon, Nitrogen cycle and Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere.

His most cited work include:

  • Crop responses to ozone: uptake, modes of action, carbon assimilation and partitioning (397 citations)
  • Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Increase Organic Carbon Decomposition Under Elevated CO2 (278 citations)
  • Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Increase Organic Carbon Decomposition Under Elevated CO2 (278 citations)

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

Fitzgerald L. Booker mainly investigates Botany, Ozone, Carbon dioxide, Agronomy and Photosynthesis. His Botany study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Antioxidant, Pollutant, Horticulture and Arabidopsis. His Carbon dioxide research integrates issues from Environmental chemistry, Ecosystem and Animal science.

His studies in Environmental chemistry integrate themes in fields like Ecology, Guard cell and Nitrogen cycle. He interconnects Plant physiology, Soil water and Transpiration in the investigation of issues within Agronomy. His work on Carbon assimilation as part of general Photosynthesis research is frequently linked to Segmented regression, Maximum rate, Applied mathematics and Nonlinear system, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (49.28%)
  • Ozone (36.23%)
  • Carbon dioxide (43.48%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2016)?

  • Agronomy (42.03%)
  • Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere (20.29%)
  • Carbon dioxide (43.48%)

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

Fitzgerald L. Booker spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere, Carbon dioxide, Ozone and Botany. His work deals with themes such as Biomass, Agroecosystem, Nitrogen fixation and Soil microbiology, which intersect with Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere. His Carbon dioxide study combines topics in areas such as Environmental chemistry, Total organic carbon and Ecosystem.

The various areas that Fitzgerald L. Booker examines in his Environmental chemistry study include Carbon sequestration, Ecology, Soil carbon and Nitrogen cycle. The study incorporates disciplines such as Phaseolus, Crop yield and Bioindicator in addition to Ozone. His work investigates the relationship between Botany and topics such as Horticulture that intersect with problems in Photosynthesis, Glutathione, Superoxide dismutase and Diameter at breast height.

Between 2009 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Increase Organic Carbon Decomposition Under Elevated CO2 (278 citations)
  • Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Increase Organic Carbon Decomposition Under Elevated CO2 (278 citations)
  • An investigation of widespread ozone damage to the soybean crop in the upper Midwest determined from ground-based and satellite measurements (74 citations)
