Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agronomy

Håkan Pleijel focuses on Ozone, Agronomy, Stomatal conductance, Botany and Carbon dioxide. His research in Ozone intersects with topics in Biomass, Air pollution, Poaceae and Animal science. His study in Cultivar, Yield and Phytotoxicity is carried out as part of his Agronomy studies.

His Stomatal conductance research incorporates themes from Vapour Pressure Deficit, Transpiration and Photosynthetically active radiation. The study of Botany is intertwined with the study of Horticulture in a number of ways. His Carbon dioxide study combines topics in areas such as Terrestrial plant and Productivity.

His most cited work include:

  • Evaluating the relationship between leaf chlorophyll concentration and SPAD-502 chlorophyll meter readings (385 citations)
  • A synthesis of AOT40-based response functions and critical levels of ozone for agricultural and horticultural crops (301 citations)
  • New stomatal flux-based critical levels for ozone effects on vegetation (168 citations)

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

Håkan Pleijel mainly investigates Ozone, Agronomy, Botany, Stomatal conductance and Animal science. His Ozone study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Pollutant, Horticulture, Vegetation, Air pollution and Poaceae. His Agronomy research includes themes of Tropospheric ozone and Carbon dioxide.

As part of the same scientific family, Håkan Pleijel usually focuses on Botany, concentrating on Biomass and intersecting with Ozone exposure. In Stomatal conductance, Håkan Pleijel works on issues like Vapour Pressure Deficit, which are connected to Meteorology. His Animal science research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Grain yield and Straw.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ozone (56.87%)
  • Agronomy (33.75%)
  • Botany (19.38%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Ozone (56.87%)
  • Agronomy (33.75%)
  • Crop (8.75%)

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

His main research concerns Ozone, Agronomy, Crop, Animal science and Yield. His research integrates issues of Biomass, Vegetation and Pollutant in his study of Ozone. He combines subjects such as Climate change and Nutrient with his study of Agronomy.

His studies deal with areas such as Agriculture, Statistics, Yield and Seed protein as well as Crop. His research in Animal science intersects with topics in Crop yield, Carbon dioxide and Starch. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Cultivar, Stomatal conductance is strongly linked to Chlorophyll a.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Tropospheric Ozone Assessment Report: Present-day tropospheric ozone distribution and trends relevant to vegetation (112 citations)
  • Constraints to nitrogen acquisition of terrestrial plants under elevated CO2 (83 citations)
  • Transpiration of urban trees and its cooling effect in a high latitude city. (81 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agronomy

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ozone, Agronomy, Climate change, Tropospheric ozone and Vegetation. His work deals with themes such as Photosynthesis, Cultivar and Chlorophyll a, which intersect with Ozone. His work carried out in the field of Agronomy brings together such families of science as Carbon dioxide, Animal science and Starch.

Håkan Pleijel focuses mostly in the field of Climate change, narrowing it down to topics relating to Ecosystem and, in certain cases, Grassland, Productivity and Terrestrial plant. His Tropospheric ozone research incorporates elements of Food security and Pollutant. Håkan Pleijel has researched Vegetation in several fields, including Ground Level Ozone, Northern Hemisphere and Physical geography.
