Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

Botany, Transpiration, Stomatal conductance, Horticulture and Xylem are his primary areas of study. His research integrates issues of Hydraulic conductivity, Dry season and Water use, Agronomy in his study of Botany. His studies deal with areas such as Crown and Water potential as well as Transpiration.

Guillermo Goldstein interconnects Nocturnal, Water balance, Water-use efficiency and Water content in the investigation of issues within Stomatal conductance. His Horticulture research integrates issues from Photosynthesis and Root pressure. He has researched Xylem in several fields, including Soil water and Poaceae.

His most cited work include:

  • Stem water storage and diurnal patterns of water use in tropical forest canopy trees (390 citations)
  • Leaf photosynthetic traits scale with hydraulic conductivity and wood density in Panamanian forest canopy trees (374 citations)
  • Potential errors in measurement of nonuniform sap flow using heat dissipation probes (369 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Ecology, Agronomy, Horticulture and Transpiration. His Botany study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Hydraulic conductivity. His work on Leaf area index as part of general Agronomy research is frequently linked to Water transport, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His study in the field of Cultivar, Prunus and Dry weight is also linked to topics like Ice nucleus. His work in Xylem addresses issues such as Water content, which are connected to fields such as Water balance. His work carried out in the field of Stomatal conductance brings together such families of science as Turgor pressure and Water-use efficiency.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (82.17%)
  • Ecology (63.64%)
  • Agronomy (46.50%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Cultivar (19.58%)
  • Horticulture (45.45%)
  • Prunus (13.99%)

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

Guillermo Goldstein focuses on Cultivar, Horticulture, Prunus, Herbivore and Agronomy. In his study, Integrated pest management is strongly linked to Insect, which falls under the umbrella field of Horticulture. His Prunus research entails a greater understanding of Ecology.

His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil water, Arid ecosystems, Water content, Evergreen and Transpiration. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Hydraulic conductivity and Turgor pressure. His studies in Subtropics integrate themes in fields like Hydraulic conductance, Stomatal conductance and Botany.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Hydraulic traits are coordinated with maximum plant height at the global scale. (38 citations)
  • Hydraulic traits are coordinated with maximum plant height at the global scale. (38 citations)
  • Herbivory alters plant carbon assimilation, patterns of biomass allocation and nitrogen use efficiency (12 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

His scientific interests lie mostly in Photosynthesis, Xylem, Agronomy, Water transport and Ecology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Arid and Habitat in addition to Xylem. The Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Canopy, Panama, Evergreen and Liana.

His Water transport research includes a combination of various areas of study, such as Hydraulic conductivity and Subtropics. His work deals with themes such as Photosynthetic capacity, Stomatal conductance, Botany and Transpiration, which intersect with Hydraulic conductivity. Within one scientific family, Guillermo Goldstein focuses on topics pertaining to Cultivar under Ecology, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Prunus.
