Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Carbon dioxide

James A. Bunce focuses on Carbon dioxide, Agronomy, Photosynthesis, Stomatal conductance and Botany. His Carbon dioxide study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Fagaceae, Quercus robur, Winter wheat and Respiration. His Agronomy research integrates issues from Abiotic component, Animal science and Transpiration.

His work carried out in the field of Photosynthesis brings together such families of science as Weed, Sorghum, Horticulture, Acclimatization and Nutrient. His research investigates the connection between Stomatal conductance and topics such as Abscisic acid that intersect with issues in Helianthus annuus. Many of his research projects under Botany are closely connected to Glycine, Volume, Water deficit and Physiological responses with Glycine, Volume, Water deficit and Physiological responses, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

His most cited work include:

  • Acclimation of photosynthesis to temperature in eight cool and warm climate herbaceous C3 species: Temperature dependence of parameters of a biochemical photosynthesis model (132 citations)
  • Influence of increasing carbon dioxide concentration on the photosynthetic and growth stimulation of selected C4 crops and weeds (130 citations)
  • Does transpiration control stomatal responses to water vapour pressure deficit (129 citations)

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

James A. Bunce mainly focuses on Photosynthesis, Carbon dioxide, Agronomy, Botany and Horticulture. His Photosynthesis research includes elements of Acclimatization, Cultivar and Plant physiology. The Carbon dioxide study combines topics in areas such as Respiration, Stomatal conductance, Dry weight, Animal science and Transpiration.

The concepts of his Stomatal conductance study are interwoven with issues in Humidity, Vapour pressure of water, Water vapor and Vapour Pressure Deficit. His research in Botany tackles topics such as Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere which are related to areas like Environmental chemistry. His research in Horticulture intersects with topics in Photosynthetic capacity, Canopy, Biomass and Leaf area index.
