Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

Paul J. Kramer spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Botany, Water stress, Horticulture and Transpiration. His Agronomy research includes themes of Soil water and Woody plant. His research in Soil water intersects with topics in Crop and Water content.

His study in Botany is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ecology and Carbon dioxide. His study in the field of Root system also crosses realms of Water transport. His research integrates issues of Sunflower, Helianthus annuus, Water deficit and Thermometer in his study of Transpiration.

His most cited work include:

  • Physiology of Woody Plants. (1804 citations)
  • Water Relations of Plants and Soils (1558 citations)
  • The Physiological Ecology of Woody Plants (1191 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Horticulture, Botany, Water stress and Absorption of water. His Agronomy research integrates issues from Photosynthesis, Leaf water and Plant physiology. His Horticulture research includes elements of Water content and Transpiration.

His Transpiration research incorporates elements of Sunflower and Helianthus annuus. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ecology and Biophysics. The various areas that Paul J. Kramer examines in his Absorption of water study include Environmental chemistry and Xylem.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (27.78%)
  • Horticulture (25.93%)
  • Botany (25.31%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1978-2015)?

  • Agronomy (27.78%)
  • Horticulture (25.93%)
  • Botany (25.31%)

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

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Horticulture, Botany, Water stress and Transpiration. In most of his Agronomy studies, his work intersects topics such as Osmotic pressure. The Horticulture study combines topics in areas such as Photosynthesis and Absorption of water.

Botany and Ecology are frequently intertwined in his study. His Water stress study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Adaptation, Stress, Irrigation and Wilting. He usually deals with Transpiration and limits it to topics linked to Water content and Water binding, Spin–lattice relaxation and Soil water.

Between 1978 and 2015, his most popular works were:

  • Physiology of Woody Plants. (1804 citations)
  • Water Relations of Plants and Soils (1558 citations)
  • The Physiological Ecology of Woody Plants (1191 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agriculture

His main research concerns Agronomy, Horticulture, Botany, Transpiration and Water stress. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil water and Acclimatization. His Horticulture research focuses on Photosynthesis and how it relates to Point of delivery, Cultivar, Dry matter and Chemical reaction.

Paul J. Kramer has researched Botany in several fields, including Adaptation and Carbon dioxide. His studies deal with areas such as Sunflower, Helianthus annuus, Water supply and Water content as well as Transpiration. His work deals with themes such as Ecology, Plant morphology and Stress, which intersect with Water stress.
