Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

H. Lee Allen mainly investigates Agronomy, Human fertilization, Botany, Nutrient and Silviculture. His research in Agronomy tackles topics such as Soil water which are related to areas like Acid rain. His studies examine the connections between Human fertilization and genetics, as well as such issues in Growing season, with regards to Forest ecology and Basal area.

His work deals with themes such as Primary production, Ecosystem respiration and Carbon sink, which intersect with Botany. His Nutrient research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Productivity, Animal science, Leaf area index and Irrigation. His Silviculture research includes elements of Biomass and Hydrology.

His most cited work include:

  • Leaf Area and Above- and Belowground Growth Responses of Loblolly Pine to Nutrient and Water Additions (393 citations)
  • The Development of Pine Plantation Silviculture in the Southern United States (298 citations)
  • Leaf Area, Stemwood Growth, and Nutrition Relationships in Loblolly Pine (258 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Human fertilization, Nutrient, Botany and Loblolly pine. His Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Silviculture, Ecology and Soil water. His research integrates issues of Fertilizer, Forestry, Thinning, Stand development and Weed control in his study of Human fertilization.

H. Lee Allen combines subjects such as Productivity, Dendroctonus frontalis, Ecosystem and Soil fertility with his study of Nutrient. The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Stocking, Animal science and Horticulture. His studies deal with areas such as Leaf area index and Phenology as well as Irrigation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (42.86%)
  • Human fertilization (34.82%)
  • Nutrient (30.36%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Agronomy (42.86%)
  • Human fertilization (34.82%)
  • Agroforestry (16.07%)

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

H. Lee Allen mainly focuses on Agronomy, Human fertilization, Agroforestry, Nutrient and Biomass. His study of Irrigation is a part of Agronomy. H. Lee Allen works mostly in the field of Irrigation, limiting it down to concerns involving Botany and, occasionally, Animal science.

His Human fertilization research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Picea abies, Boreal, Wood production and Thinning. His Nutrient study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Eucalyptus, Fertilizer and Fascicle. H. Lee Allen has included themes like Productivity and Forestry in his Biomass study.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Fertilization and irrigation effects on tree level aboveground net primary production, light interception and light use efficiency in a loblolly pine plantation (52 citations)
  • Local and general above-stump biomass functions for loblolly pine and slash pine trees (41 citations)
  • Maximum response of loblolly pine plantations to silvicultural management in the southern United States (37 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Ecosystem

Forestry, Agronomy, Biomass, Human fertilization and Agroforestry are his primary areas of study. H. Lee Allen has researched Forestry in several fields, including Carbon sequestration, Fertilizer, Carbon dioxide and Greenhouse gas. His studies in Agronomy integrate themes in fields like Primary production and Botany.

His study in Biomass is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Productivity, Pinus , Slash Pine and Sowing. His Human fertilization study incorporates themes from Dominance, Woody plant, Leaf area index and Interception. He interconnects Temperate forest, Picea abies, Thinning and Scots pine in the investigation of issues within Agroforestry.
