Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

Katherine A. McCulloh mainly investigates Xylem, Botany, Hydraulic conductivity, Electrical conduit and Water transport. Her research in Xylem intersects with topics in Woody plant, Shoot and Transpiration. Her studies deal with areas such as Tree species and Parenchyma as well as Woody plant.

Many of her studies on Transpiration apply to Ecology as well. Her Twig and Tracheid study in the realm of Botany connects with subjects such as Populus angustifolia and Air permeability specific surface. Katherine A. McCulloh applies her multidisciplinary studies on Water transport and Hydraulics in her research.

Her most cited work include:

  • Trends in wood density and structure are linked to prevention of xylem implosion by negative pressure (1034 citations)
  • Xylem hydraulic safety margins in woody plants: coordination of stomatal control of xylem tension with hydraulic capacitance (349 citations)
  • Water transport in plants obeys Murray's law (280 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Xylem, Botany, Ecology, Transpiration and Hydraulic conductivity. While the research belongs to areas of Xylem, she spends her time largely on the problem of Hydraulic conductance, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Shrub. In her articles, Katherine A. McCulloh combines various disciplines, including Botany and Water transport.

In her work, Atmospheric sciences is strongly intertwined with Water use, which is a subfield of Transpiration. Her Hydraulic conductivity study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Temperate climate. The concepts of her Turgor pressure study are interwoven with issues in Leaf water, Calycanthus and Osmotic pressure.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Xylem (47.50%)
  • Botany (43.75%)
  • Ecology (27.50%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Photosynthesis (15.00%)
  • Xylem (47.50%)
  • Botany (43.75%)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Photosynthesis, Xylem, Botany, Ecosystem and Agronomy. Katherine A. McCulloh combines subjects such as Eucalyptus, Tracheid, Boreal and Adaptation with her study of Photosynthesis. Among her research on Xylem, you can see a combination of other fields of science like Hydraulic resistance, Base, Electrical conduit, Limiting and Conductance.

Her work on Turgor pressure and Osmotic pressure as part of general Botany study is frequently linked to Gametophyte, Water transport and X-Ray Microcomputed Tomography, bridging the gap between disciplines. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Deserts and xeric shrublands, Climate change, Regeneration and Allometry. Her Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Basal area, Acclimatization, Photosynthetic acclimation, Respiration and Taiga.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (179 citations)
  • A dynamic yet vulnerable pipeline: Integration and coordination of hydraulic traits across whole plants. (22 citations)
  • Coordination and trade-offs between leaf and stem hydraulic traits and stomatal regulation along a spectrum of isohydry to anisohydry. (11 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

Katherine A. McCulloh spends much of her time researching Conductance, Xylem, Trade offs, Hydraulic conductance and Stem-and-leaf display. Her Conductance research incorporates Horticulture and Vapour Pressure Deficit.
