Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Agronomy, Short rotation coppice, Biomass and Bioenergy. His work in the fields of Agronomy, such as Lactuca, overlaps with other areas such as Trait. His studies in Short rotation coppice integrate themes in fields like Agroforestry, Short rotation forestry and Arable land.

His Biomass research incorporates elements of Biofuel, Natural resource economics and Renewable energy. His research integrates issues of Agriculture, Climate change and Sustainability in his study of Biofuel. His Bioenergy study incorporates themes from Water use and Fossil fuel.

His most cited work include:

  • Urban woodlands: their role in reducing the effects of particulate pollution. (453 citations)
  • Energy crops: current status and future prospects (410 citations)
  • Identifying potential environmental impacts of large-scale deployment of dedicated bioenergy crops in the UK (362 citations)

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

Gail Taylor mainly focuses on Bioenergy, Botany, Agronomy, Biomass and Agroforestry. His work carried out in the field of Bioenergy brings together such families of science as Natural resource economics and Greenhouse gas. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Greenhouse gas, concentrating on Sustainability and intersecting with Global warming.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Botany, Horticulture are connected with Photosynthesis and other disciplines. His Agronomy study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Water content. As a part of the same scientific study, Gail Taylor usually deals with the Agroforestry, concentrating on Short rotation coppice and frequently concerns with Short rotation forestry, Willow, Miscanthus and Arable land.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Bioenergy (28.03%)
  • Botany (25.38%)
  • Agronomy (26.52%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Black poplar (4.92%)
  • Agronomy (26.52%)
  • Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage (3.41%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Black poplar, Agronomy, Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage, Global warming and Natural resource economics. His Black poplar study also includes fields such as

  • Transpiration which intersects with area such as Abscisic acid, Xylem, Acclimatization and Shoot,
  • Water-use efficiency which intersects with area such as Horticulture. Gail Taylor does research in Agronomy, focusing on Biomass specifically.

His study in Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Bioenergy and Renewable energy. His Bioenergy study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Biomass. His Global warming study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Biodiversity, Sustainability and Greenhouse gas.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Breeding progress and preparedness for mass‐scale deployment of perennial lignocellulosic biomass crops switchgrass, miscanthus, willow and poplar (48 citations)
  • FACE facts hold for multiple generations; Evidence from natural CO2 springs. (24 citations)
  • FACE facts hold for multiple generations; Evidence from natural CO2 springs. (24 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

Gail Taylor mainly investigates Photosynthesis, Agronomy, Mediterranean Basin, Productivity and Biomass. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Greening, Ecology, Climate change and Black poplar. His research in Agronomy intersects with topics in Biomass, Molecular breeding, Miscanthus and Panicum virgatum.

His Mediterranean Basin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Leaf area index, Phenology, Arundo donax, Ecotype and Lignocellulosic biomass.
