Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Botany

Botany, Eddy covariance, Atmospheric sciences, Ecology and Photosynthesis are his primary areas of study. He works mostly in the field of Botany, limiting it down to topics relating to Horticulture and, in certain cases, Stomatal conductance, as a part of the same area of interest. The concepts of his Eddy covariance study are interwoven with issues in Evapotranspiration and Biome.

His Ecology research incorporates themes from Spatial distribution and Spatial analysis. His Photosynthesis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Electron transport chain, Chlorophyll and Agronomy. His Ecosystem respiration research incorporates elements of Hydrology and Soil water.

His most cited work include:

  • On the Separation of Net Ecosystem Exchange into Assimilation and Ecosystem Respiration: Review and Improved Algorithm (2050 citations)
  • Energy balance closure at FLUXNET sites (1621 citations)
  • Gap filling strategies for defensible annual sums of net ecosystem exchange (1352 citations)

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

John Tenhunen spends much of his time researching Ecology, Botany, Atmospheric sciences, Ecosystem and Canopy. His Botany study incorporates themes from Horticulture and Arbutus unedo. John Tenhunen focuses mostly in the field of Atmospheric sciences, narrowing it down to matters related to Eddy covariance and, in some cases, Biometeorology.

His Ecosystem research includes themes of Plant community and Environmental resource management. His research integrates issues of Picea abies, Leaf area index, Agronomy and Transpiration in his study of Canopy. Soil respiration is closely connected to Water content in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Transpiration.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (24.44%)
  • Botany (20.37%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (19.63%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2019)?

  • Agronomy (14.44%)
  • Ecology (24.44%)
  • Hydrology (16.30%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Ecology, Hydrology, Land use and Canopy. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Agriculture, Ecosystem respiration and Temperate climate. His work carried out in the field of Ecology brings together such families of science as Stomatal conductance and Transpiration.

John Tenhunen interconnects Storm and Land use, land-use change and forestry in the investigation of issues within Hydrology. His work deals with themes such as Photosynthesis, Growing season, Water use, Vapour Pressure Deficit and Atmospheric sciences, which intersect with Canopy. His studies in Atmospheric sciences integrate themes in fields like FluxNet and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index.

Between 2011 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Modeling the Photosynthetic Response of C3 Leaves to Environmental Factors (181 citations)
  • Advancing sustainability through mainstreaming a social–ecological systems perspective (155 citations)
  • Differential storm responses of dissolved and particulate organic carbon in a mountainous headwater stream, investigated by high‐frequency, in situ optical measurements (80 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Agriculture

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Hydrology, Land use, Environmental resource management and Watershed. His studies deal with areas such as Climate change, Nitrate and Temperate climate as well as Agronomy. His work on Base flow as part of general Hydrology study is frequently connected to Flux, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

John Tenhunen works mostly in the field of Land use, limiting it down to concerns involving Water quality and, occasionally, Soil and Water Assessment Tool, Hydrological modelling, SWAT model, Groundwater and Terrain. His Environmental resource management research includes elements of Sustainability and Ecosystem services. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Watershed, focusing on Water resource management and, on occasion, Tropics, Hydrology and Hydroelectricity.
