  • 2008 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Botany

Ecology, Agronomy, Biomass, Botany and Stomatal conductance are his primary areas of study. In his research, he undertakes multidisciplinary study on Ecology and Meta-analysis. His research investigates the connection between Agronomy and topics such as Photosynthesis that intersect with problems in Shoot.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Nutrient and Carbon dioxide in addition to Botany. His Nutrient study combines topics in areas such as Fructification, Soil water and Animal science. He works mostly in the field of Soil fertility, limiting it down to topics relating to Nitrogen cycle and, in certain cases, Mineralization and Growing season, as a part of the same area of interest.

His most cited work include:

  • THE META‐ANALYSIS OF RESPONSE RATIOS IN EXPERIMENTAL ECOLOGY (2024 citations)
  • A meta-analysis of elevated CO2 effects on woody plant mass, form, and physiology (1050 citations)
  • Effects of Forest Management on Soil C and N Storage: Meta Analysis (1047 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Ecosystem, Agronomy, Botany and Canopy. His study in Ecosystem is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Vegetation type and Deciduous. The various areas that he examines in his Agronomy study include Stomatal conductance, Soil water, Nitrogen cycle and Plant litter.

His Botany research incorporates themes from Nutrient, Carbon dioxide and Animal science. His study explores the link between Nutrient and topics such as Soil fertility that cross with problems in Growing season and Photosynthetic capacity. Peter S. Curtis combines subjects such as Eddy covariance and Soil respiration with his study of Carbon cycle.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (35.51%)
  • Ecosystem (22.46%)
  • Agronomy (22.46%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Ecology (35.51%)
  • Canopy (21.74%)
  • Ecosystem (22.46%)

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

Peter S. Curtis focuses on Ecology, Canopy, Ecosystem, Disturbance and Primary production. Temperate deciduous forest, Forest ecology and Deciduous are among the areas of Ecology where he concentrates his study. His Canopy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Leaf area index and Agronomy.

The concepts of his Agronomy study are interwoven with issues in Stomatal conductance, Soil water and Transpiration. As a part of the same scientific family, Peter S. Curtis mostly works in the field of Ecosystem, focusing on Ecological succession and, on occasion, Cycling and Climate change. His research in Primary production intersects with topics in Sink and Populus grandidentata.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The FLUXNET2015 dataset and the ONEFlux processing pipeline for eddy covariance data (67 citations)
  • Contrasting strategies of hydraulic control in two codominant temperate tree species (49 citations)
  • Species-specific transpiration responses to intermediate disturbance in a northern hardwood forest (49 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Botany

Peter S. Curtis mostly deals with Primary production, Ecology, Temperate deciduous forest, Ecosystem and Canopy. Peter S. Curtis combines topics linked to Sink with his work on Ecology. His research on Ecosystem often connects related areas such as Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere.

His study looks at the relationship between Canopy and fields such as Basal area, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. Peter S. Curtis interconnects Eddy covariance, Agronomy and Stomatal conductance in the investigation of issues within Vapour Pressure Deficit. His Agronomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Soil water, Plant functional type and Xylem, Botany.
