Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Enzyme

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Photosynthesis, Apoplast, Dehydroascorbic acid and Biochemistry. His studies in Botany integrate themes in fields like Environmental chemistry, Antioxidant and Horticulture. His work carried out in the field of Environmental chemistry brings together such families of science as Guard cell, Ambient ozone, Air pollution, Phytotoxicity and RuBisCO.

Photosynthesis is closely attributed to Chlorophyll in his research. His study on Chlorophyll fluorescence is often connected to Snap as part of broader study in Chlorophyll. His study looks at the relationship between Dehydroascorbic acid and fields such as Extracellular, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His most cited work include:

  • Crop responses to ozone: uptake, modes of action, carbon assimilation and partitioning (397 citations)
  • Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Increase Organic Carbon Decomposition Under Elevated CO2 (278 citations)
  • Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Increase Organic Carbon Decomposition Under Elevated CO2 (278 citations)

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

Kent O. Burkey mainly investigates Botany, Photosynthesis, Horticulture, Agronomy and Chlorophyll. The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Chloroplast and Antioxidant. His work on Photosystem I and Stomatal conductance as part of general Photosynthesis research is frequently linked to Light intensity, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His research integrates issues of Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere and Carbon dioxide in his study of Agronomy. His Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Nitrogen fixation and Microcosm. Kent O. Burkey combines subjects such as Ambient ozone, Nitrogen cycle and Carbon sequestration with his study of Environmental chemistry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (51.30%)
  • Photosynthesis (41.74%)
  • Horticulture (26.09%)

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

  • Environmental science (20.00%)
  • Agronomy (25.22%)
  • Horticulture (26.09%)

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

Kent O. Burkey focuses on Environmental science, Agronomy, Horticulture, Environmental chemistry and Photosynthesis. His work on Grain yield is typically connected to Moisture, Ammonium and Biomass c as part of general Agronomy study, connecting several disciplines of science. His Horticulture research incorporates elements of Biomass, Growing season and Water-use efficiency.

His Environmental chemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Agroecosystem, Soil microbiology, Greenhouse gas and Mineralization. His Photosynthesis research is classified as research in Botany. His work on Phaseolus, Epipremnum aureum and Ornamental plant as part of his general Botany study is frequently connected to Murashige and Skoog medium, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Closing the global ozone yield gap: Quantification and cobenefits for multistress tolerance (59 citations)
  • Contrasting Warming and Ozone Effects on Denitrifiers Dominate Soil N2O Emissions (12 citations)
  • Contrasting Warming and Ozone Effects on Denitrifiers Dominate Soil N2O Emissions (12 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Enzyme

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Nitrous oxide, Environmental science, Crop and Agroecosystem. In general Agronomy, his work in Cultivar and Point of delivery is often linked to Moisture linking many areas of study. His Nitrous oxide research integrates issues from Microcosm, Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere and Nitrate.

His Crop research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Photosynthesis, Botany, Tropospheric ozone and Climate change. Kent O. Burkey brings together Photosynthesis and Endopeptidase inhibitor activity to produce work in his papers. The concepts of his Agroecosystem study are interwoven with issues in Pollutant, Mineralization, Greenhouse gas, Environmental chemistry and Soil microbiology.
