Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Photosynthesis

Michael Tausz spends much of his time researching Stomatal conductance, Botany, Horticulture, Agronomy and Photosynthesis. The study incorporates disciplines such as Fagaceae, Chlorophyll fluorescence and Water-use efficiency in addition to Stomatal conductance. His work deals with themes such as Biomass, Ozone and Water content, which intersect with Botany.

His Horticulture study combines topics in areas such as Fagus sylvatica and Canopy. The Sowing, Cultivar, Helianthus annuus and Germination research Michael Tausz does as part of his general Agronomy study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Power frequency, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. The various areas that Michael Tausz examines in his Chlorophyll study include AMAX, Xanthophyll and Antioxidant.

His most cited work include:

  • Increasing CO2 threatens human nutrition (572 citations)
  • The glutathione system as a stress marker in plant ecophysiology: is a stress-response concept valid? (351 citations)
  • Complex interactive effects of drought and ozone stress on the antioxidant defence systems of two wheat cultivars (146 citations)

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

Botany, Agronomy, Horticulture, Photosynthesis and Stomatal conductance are his primary areas of study. His research investigates the connection between Botany and topics such as Ozone that intersect with problems in Fumigation. His Agronomy study incorporates themes from Soil water and Carbon dioxide.

His research in Horticulture intersects with topics in Photoinhibition and Fagus sylvatica. Michael Tausz has researched Photosynthesis in several fields, including Acclimatization, Plant growth and Plant physiology. His Stomatal conductance research focuses on Canopy and how it relates to Fagaceae and Beech.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (49.78%)
  • Agronomy (39.83%)
  • Horticulture (26.84%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Agronomy (39.83%)
  • Cultivar (23.38%)
  • Water use (10.39%)

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

Michael Tausz mainly focuses on Agronomy, Cultivar, Water use, Stomatal conductance and Soil water. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Photosynthesis, Transpiration and Arid. His Photosynthesis research includes themes of Plant growth and Horticulture.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Glutathione, Sink and Botany. His studies deal with areas such as Grain quality, Field pea, Crop and Irrigation as well as Cultivar. His Growing season research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Canopy and Animal science.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Elevated atmospheric [CO2] can dramatically increase wheat yields in semi‐arid environments and buffer against heat waves (87 citations)
  • Growth and yield stimulation under elevated CO2 and drought : A meta-analysis on crops (58 citations)
  • Benefits of increasing transpiration efficiency in wheat under elevated CO2 for rainfed regions (29 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agronomy

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Cultivar, Transpiration, Animal science and Growing season. Michael Tausz works mostly in the field of Agronomy, limiting it down to topics relating to Nitrogen assimilation and, in certain cases, Dry weight, Grain quality and Nitrogen fertilizer, as a part of the same area of interest. His research integrates issues of Arid, Photosynthesis, Crop and Irrigation in his study of Cultivar.

As part of his studies on Photosynthesis, Michael Tausz frequently links adjacent subjects like Horticulture. His Transpiration research incorporates themes from Water use, Carbon dioxide and Stomatal conductance. Michael Tausz interconnects Agroecosystem, Legume, Fixation, Dry season and Nutrient in the investigation of issues within Animal science.
