Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Genus

Her primary areas of investigation include Botany, Ecology, Stomatal conductance, Transpiration and Agronomy. The study incorporates disciplines such as Helianthus anomalus and Horticulture in addition to Botany. While the research belongs to areas of Ecology, Lisa A. Donovan spends her time largely on the problem of Genetic variability, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Genetic variation.

Her research in Stomatal conductance intersects with topics in Growing season, Soil water and Habitat. The Transpiration study combines topics in areas such as Shrub and Xylem. She has researched Agronomy in several fields, including Ecophysiology and Water-use efficiency.

Her most cited work include:

  • Major Ecological Transitions in Wild Sunflowers Facilitated by Hybridization (917 citations)
  • Nighttime Stomatal Conductance and Transpiration in C3 and C4 Plants (382 citations)
  • Water potential and ionic effects on germination and seedling growth of two cold desert shrubs. (226 citations)

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

Her main research concerns Botany, Ecology, Agronomy, Helianthus and Transpiration. Her study in Botany is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Helianthus annuus, Helianthus anomalus, Nutrient and Horticulture. Her studies in Ecology integrate themes in fields like Genetic variability and Genetic diversity.

Her Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Soil water, Woody plant and Water-use efficiency. Her Helianthus study also includes

  • Ecosystem which is related to area like Intraspecific competition,
  • Phylogenetic tree which intersects with area such as Genus. Lisa A. Donovan has included themes like Water use, Stomatal conductance, Hydraulic conductivity, Xylem and Water potential in her Transpiration study.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (47.90%)
  • Ecology (36.97%)
  • Agronomy (32.77%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

  • Sunflower (11.76%)
  • Helianthus annuus (17.65%)
  • Helianthus (21.01%)

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

Lisa A. Donovan mainly focuses on Sunflower, Helianthus annuus, Helianthus, Botany and Salinity. Sunflower is a primary field of her research addressed under Agronomy. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Ecology, Herbaceous plant and Resistance.

Her research combines Phylogenetic tree and Ecology. Her work deals with themes such as Phylogenetics and Nutrient, which intersect with Botany. Her Salinity research includes themes of Biomass and Horticulture.

Between 2015 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Massive haplotypes underlie ecotypic differentiation in sunflowers (40 citations)
  • Macroevolution of leaf defenses and secondary metabolites across the genus Helianthus (28 citations)
  • Plant hydraulics as a central hub integrating plant and ecosystem function: meeting report for 'Emerging Frontiers in Plant Hydraulics' (Washington, DC, May 2015). (25 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Genus

Lisa A. Donovan focuses on Ecology, Botany, Helianthus, Trait and Evolutionary biology. Ecology is closely attributed to Plant disease resistance in her study. Her Botany study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Macroevolution and Nutrient.

A majority of her Trait research is a blend of other scientific areas, such as Leaf mass per area, Phylogenetic tree, Structural equation modeling, Symbiosis and Xylem. Her Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Adaptation, Ecotype, Locus and Haplotype. Her research investigates the connection with Adaptation and areas like Phylogenetics which intersect with concerns in Soil water, Agronomy and Exudate.
