  • Effect of nitrogen supply on leaf appearance, leaf growth, leaf nitrogen economy and photosynthetic capacity in maize (Zea mays L.) (153 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Horticulture, Botany, Canopy and Crop. Agronomy is often connected to Photosynthesis in his work. In general Horticulture, his work in Shoot and Rose is often linked to Solanum sisymbriifolium linking many areas of study.

The concepts of his Botany study are interwoven with issues in Field experiment and Soil water. The Canopy study combines topics in areas such as Biological system, Leaf area index and Photosynthetically active radiation. His Crop research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Biomass, Dry matter and Yield.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (52.89%)
  • Horticulture (20.66%)
  • Botany (18.18%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2018)?

  • Agronomy (52.89%)
  • Botany (18.18%)
  • Horticulture (20.66%)

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

Agronomy, Botany, Horticulture, Shoot and Photosynthesis are his primary areas of study. His research brings together the fields of Coffea arabica and Agronomy. His study looks at the relationship between Botany and fields such as Biological system, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His work on Rose as part of general Horticulture research is frequently linked to Light intensity, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His work on Photosynthetically active radiation as part of his general Photosynthesis study is frequently connected to Shade avoidance and Plastochron, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His research investigates the connection between Biomass and topics such as Crop simulation model that intersect with issues in Energy crop, Stomatal conductance and Nitrogen cycle.

Between 2011 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • The contribution of phenotypic plasticity to complementary light capture in plant mixtures (86 citations)
  • Leaf photosynthesis and respiration of three bioenergy crops in relation to temperature and leaf nitrogen: how conserved are biochemical model parameters among crop species? (46 citations)
  • Early competition shapes maize whole-plant development in mixed stands (34 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Botany, Photosynthesis, Competition and Interspecific competition. His research related to Monoculture, Main stem, Productivity, Leaf size and Tiller might be considered part of Agronomy. His study in the field of Root system architecture and Canopy is also linked to topics like Plant development and Branching.

His research integrates issues of Biomass, Phyllochron and Energy crop in his study of Photosynthesis. His study in Competition is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Community structure and Phenotypic plasticity. His Interspecific competition research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Plant community and Intraspecific competition.
