  • 1993 - Fellow of the American Society of Agronomy (ASA)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Agriculture
  • Ecology

His main research concerns Agronomy, Botany, Shoot, Cultivar and Storage protein. He regularly links together related areas like Nutrient management in his Agronomy studies. In his research on the topic of Botany, Sugar is strongly related with Horticulture.

His Shoot research incorporates elements of Nutrient, Starch and Chitinase. His work in the fields of Cultivar, such as Hardiness, overlaps with other areas such as Oil concentration. The Medicago sativa study combines topics in areas such as Plant morphology, Dry matter, Hemicellulose, Lignin and Yield.

His most cited work include:

  • A role for nitrogen reserves in forage regrowth and stress tolerance (227 citations)
  • Effects of Nitrogen on Mesophyll Cell Division and Epidermal Cell Elongation in Tall Fescue Leaf Blades (152 citations)
  • Seasonal Changes in Nonstructural Carbohydrates, Protein, and Macronutrients in Roots of Alfalfa, Red Clover, Sweetclover, and Birdsfoot Trefoil (103 citations)

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

Jeffrey J. Volenec mainly investigates Agronomy, Shoot, Botany, Horticulture and Medicago sativa. His work carried out in the field of Agronomy brings together such families of science as Biomass and Nutrient. His Shoot research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sugar, Dry matter, Taproot and Human fertilization.

His studies in Taproot integrate themes in fields like Bark and Starch. His Botany research focuses on Carbohydrate and how it connects with Respiration, Carbohydrate metabolism and Festuca arundinacea. His research integrates issues of Ecophysiology and Biochemistry in his study of Medicago sativa.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (46.06%)
  • Shoot (26.06%)
  • Botany (23.03%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Agronomy (46.06%)
  • Miscanthus (6.67%)
  • Agriculture (6.06%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Miscanthus, Agriculture, HUBzero and Data management plan. His Agronomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Panicum virgatum and Evapotranspiration. Jeffrey J. Volenec has included themes like Perennial plant, Drainage basin and Marginal land in his Miscanthus study.

His Agriculture study incorporates themes from Climate change and Environmental planning. His Bioenergy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Agroforestry and Hybrid poplar. His research in Forage intersects with topics in Photosynthesis and Carbon metabolism.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Marginal land suitability for switchgrass, Miscanthus and hybrid poplar in the Upper Mississippi River Basin (UMRB) (24 citations)
  • Evaluation of Agricultural Production Systems Simulator as yield predictor of Panicum virgatum and Miscanthus x giganteus in several US environments (24 citations)
  • Perennial biomass production from marginal land in the Upper Mississippi River Basin (13 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Agriculture
  • Ecology

Jeffrey J. Volenec spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Miscanthus, Perennial plant, Biomass and Evapotranspiration. His work on Yield as part of general Agronomy research is frequently linked to Arabidopsis, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Miscanthus research incorporates elements of Drainage basin and Marginal land.

His study in Perennial plant is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both SWAT model, Surface runoff and Leaf area index. His Evapotranspiration research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Soil water, Corn stover, Crop rotation and Stover. His study in the field of Energy crop also crosses realms of Simulation modeling.
