  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

His scientific interests lie mostly in Carbon dioxide, Agriculture, Agronomy, Stomatal conductance and Transpiration. His research on Carbon dioxide often connects related areas such as Horticulture. In the field of Agriculture, his study on Arable land overlaps with subjects such as Subsidy.

James I.L. Morison has included themes like Co2 concentration, Sativum and Pisum in his Stomatal conductance study. The subject of his Transpiration research is within the realm of Botany. James I.L. Morison combines subjects such as Grain yield, Atmospheric sciences and Crop with his study of Botany.

His most cited work include:

  • Resource-Conserving Agriculture Increases Yields in Developing Countries (463 citations)
  • An assessment of the total external costs of UK agriculture (449 citations)
  • Farm costs and food miles: an assessment of the full cost of the UK weekly food basket (399 citations)

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

James I.L. Morison mainly focuses on Agronomy, Botany, Carbon dioxide, Photosynthesis and Horticulture. In his research on the topic of Agronomy, Water use and Vapour Pressure Deficit is strongly related with Water content. His studies deal with areas such as Sunflower, Dry weight, Biomass and Sowing as well as Carbon dioxide.

His Photosynthesis research includes elements of Helianthus annuus, Commelina communis, Guard cell and Chlorophyll a. His Horticulture study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Quercus robur, Canopy, Photosynthetic capacity and Transpiration. The various areas that James I.L. Morison examines in his Water-use efficiency study include Atmospheric sciences, Shoot and Water supply.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (28.16%)
  • Botany (24.27%)
  • Carbon dioxide (22.33%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Greenhouse gas (5.83%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (12.62%)
  • Woodland (5.83%)

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

James I.L. Morison mostly deals with Greenhouse gas, Atmospheric sciences, Woodland, Land use and Ecosystem respiration. His Greenhouse gas study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Carbon dioxide and Ecosystem. James I.L. Morison focuses mostly in the field of Carbon dioxide, narrowing it down to topics relating to Water content and, in certain cases, Felling.

His Atmospheric sciences research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Carbon dioxide flux, Deciduous and Growing season. His research in Land use intersects with topics in Soil carbon, Sustainability and Environmental resource management. His studies in Ecosystem respiration integrate themes in fields like Thinning, Agronomy and Equifinality.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Arabidopsis HEAT SHOCK TRANSCRIPTION FACTORA1b overexpression enhances water productivity, resistance to drought, and infection (82 citations)
  • Effects of urban density on carbon dioxide exchanges: Observations of dense urban, suburban and woodland areas of southern England. (54 citations)
  • The match and mismatch between photosynthesis and land surface phenology of deciduous forests (45 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

Woodland, Greenhouse gas, Atmospheric sciences, Biotic stress and Climate change are his primary areas of study. Woodland is a subfield of Ecology that he investigates. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Vegetation and Pollution.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Canopy, Deciduous, Phenology and Growing season in addition to Atmospheric sciences. Biotic stress combines with fields such as Heat shock factor, Cell biology, Plant disease resistance, Botany and Transcription factor in his investigation. His Climate change study incorporates themes from Environmental protection, Forest management, Carbon sequestration, Carbon cycle and Carbon dioxide.
