Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Photosynthesis

His main research concerns Ecology, Annual plant, Botany, Horticulture and Nutrient. His Ecosystem, Arid and Carbon dioxide study, which is part of a larger body of work in Ecology, is frequently linked to Atmospheric sciences and Environmental science, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Annual plant study combines topics in areas such as Shoot, Chenopodium, Biomass and Allometry.

His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Mesocosm and Botany. His Horticulture research integrates issues from Salicaceae, Deciduous and Plant litter. The concepts of his Nutrient study are interwoven with issues in Abutilon and Germination.

His most cited work include:

  • Interpreting phenotypic variation in plants. (573 citations)
  • BIOMASS ALLOCATION IN PLANTS: ONTOGENY OR OPTIMALITY? A TEST ALONG THREE RESOURCE GRADIENTS (496 citations)
  • Elevated CO2 increases productivity and invasive species success in an arid ecosystem. (493 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Botany, Photosynthesis, Ecology, Nutrient and Environmental science. His work carried out in the field of Botany brings together such families of science as Biomass, Mesocosm and Horticulture. His work on Photosystem II and Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase as part of general Photosynthesis study is frequently connected to HSP60, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

His study in the field of Ecosystem, Annual plant and Arid also crosses realms of Atmospheric sciences. James S. Coleman combines subjects such as Abutilon and Germination with his study of Annual plant. His research integrates issues of Agronomy, Weed, Biomass, Shoot and Poaceae in his study of Nutrient.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (58.67%)
  • Photosynthesis (26.67%)
  • Ecology (20.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2001-2019)?

  • Environmental science (20.00%)
  • Botany (58.67%)
  • Ecosystem (14.67%)

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

Environmental science, Botany, Ecosystem, Salicaceae and Soil water are his primary areas of study. His Ecosystem research is under the purview of Ecology. His work on Carbon dioxide, Litter decomposition, Litter and Arid ecosystems as part of general Ecology research is frequently linked to Desert, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His Salicaceae research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Vascular bundle, Petiole, Aphid and Eastern Cottonwood. The study incorporates disciplines such as Environmental chemistry, Water use, Water content and Stomatal conductance in addition to Soil water. He studied Terrestrial ecosystem and Horticulture that intersect with Mesocosm.

Between 2001 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Accumulation of atmospheric mercury in forest foliage (270 citations)
  • Prolonged suppression of ecosystem carbon dioxide uptake after an anomalously warm year (123 citations)
  • Phylogeny of Agrodiaetus Hübner 1822 (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) Inferred from mtDNA Sequences of COI and COII and Nuclear Sequences of EF1-α: Karyotype Diversification and Species Radiation (106 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Photosynthesis

James S. Coleman focuses on Terrestrial ecosystem, Primary production, Biogeochemical cycle, Carbon sequestration and Ecosystem. His research in Terrestrial ecosystem intersects with topics in Mesocosm, Botany, Horticulture and Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere, Carbon dioxide. His Primary production research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Organic matter, Biomass, Agronomy, Growing season and Soil organic matter.

His Biogeochemical cycle study incorporates themes from Salicaceae, Dormancy, Deciduous and Plant litter. His Carbon sequestration investigation overlaps with other disciplines such as Soil respiration, Environmental science, Ecology, Atmospheric sciences and Respiration.
