The scientist's work covers key topics including:

  • Plant pathogens and resistance mechanisms
  • Seedling growth and survival studies
  • Plant stress responses and tolerance

Attiwill has published articles in the journal Trees, contributing to the understanding of calcium cycling in forest ecosystems. Two notable recent papers include:

  • Calcium oxalate and calcium cycling in forest ecosystems, 2021, Trees
  • Correction to: Calcium oxalate and calcium cycling in forest ecosystems, 2021, Trees

Frequent co-authors in Attiwill's work include:

  • Robert F. Parsons
  • Nicholas C. Uren
  • Peter M. Kopittke

The scientist has been recognized with the Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) award, received in 1968.
