Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Gene

Ismael Aranda mainly investigates Botany, Fagus sylvatica, Stomatal conductance, Horticulture and Quercus suber. He has researched Botany in several fields, including Water use and Agronomy. His Fagus sylvatica study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Quercus petraea and Fagaceae.

His Stomatal conductance research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Photoinhibition and Shade tolerance. His studies examine the connections between Horticulture and genetics, as well as such issues in Water content, with regards to Chlorophyll and Photosynthetic capacity. Ismael Aranda combines subjects such as Leaf size and Specific leaf area with his study of Quercus suber.

His most cited work include:

  • The greater seedling high-light tolerance of Quercus robur over Fagus sylvatica is linked to a greater physiological plasticity (231 citations)
  • Phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation in leaf ecophysiological traits of 13 contrasting cork oak populations under different water availabilities (129 citations)
  • Effects of the interaction between drought and shade on water relations, gas exchange and morphological traits in cork oak (Quercus suber L.) seedlings (127 citations)

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

Ismael Aranda spends much of his time researching Botany, Horticulture, Agronomy, Stomatal conductance and Fagus sylvatica. His work in Quercus petraea, Photosynthesis, Canopy, Drought tolerance and Seedling is related to Botany. His Horticulture research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil water and Quercus suber.

His Agronomy research includes themes of Mediterranean climate, Osmoregulation and Understory. His work deals with themes such as Photosynthetic capacity, Photoinhibition, Shade tolerance and Plant physiology, which intersect with Stomatal conductance. His Fagus sylvatica study introduces a deeper knowledge of Beech.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (53.33%)
  • Horticulture (27.62%)
  • Agronomy (25.71%)

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

  • Agronomy (25.71%)
  • Drought tolerance (18.10%)
  • Stomatal conductance (23.81%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Drought tolerance, Stomatal conductance, Mediterranean climate and Metabolome. His Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Range, Turgor pressure and Osmoregulation. The various areas that Ismael Aranda examines in his Stomatal conductance study include Beech and Fagus sylvatica.

His studies in Mediterranean climate integrate themes in fields like Intraspecific competition and Growing season. His Metabolome research incorporates themes from Juvenile, Ontogeny and Pinus pinaster, Botany. His Leaf water study in the realm of Botany interacts with subjects such as Quinic acid.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Extreme droughts affecting Mediterranean tree species’ growth and water-use efficiency: the importance of timing (28 citations)
  • Correlated evolution of morphology, gas exchange, growth rates and hydraulics as a response to precipitation and temperature regimes in oaks (Quercus). (11 citations)
  • Mediterranean trees coping with severe drought: Avoidance might not be safe (11 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Gene

Ismael Aranda focuses on Mediterranean climate, Agronomy, Drought tolerance, Quercus faginea and Ballota. His Mediterranean climate research includes elements of Adaptation, Hydraulic conductivity and Plant morphology. His Drought tolerance study results in a more complete grasp of Botany.

His Quercus faginea research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Range, Evergreen, Water use, Turgor pressure and Osmoregulation. The study incorporates disciplines such as Growing season, Woody plant, Water-use efficiency, Ecosystem and Habit in addition to Ballota.
