Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Carbon dioxide

R. L. LaMorte spends much of his time researching Carbon dioxide, Growing season, Agronomy, Poaceae and Irrigation. R. L. LaMorte focuses mostly in the field of Carbon dioxide, narrowing it down to matters related to Sorghum and, in some cases, Botany and Evapotranspiration. His Growing season research focuses on Animal science and how it connects with Sensible heat, Water use, Drip irrigation and Environmental factor.

His research on Agronomy often connects related areas such as Biomass. His Poaceae study which covers Stomatal conductance that intersects with Water content. His Irrigation research includes themes of Field experiment, Soil water, Soil fertility and Grain quality.

His most cited work include:

  • Productivity and water use of wheat under free‐air CO2 enrichment (294 citations)
  • Measuring Wheat Senescence with a Digital Camera (179 citations)
  • Elevated CO2, drought and soil nitrogen effects on wheat grain quality (147 citations)

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

R. L. LaMorte mainly focuses on Agronomy, Carbon dioxide, Evapotranspiration, Poaceae and Botany. His work deals with themes such as Photosynthesis, Soil water and Canopy, which intersect with Agronomy. His studies deal with areas such as Drought tolerance, Transpiration, Growing season and Stomatal conductance as well as Carbon dioxide.

R. L. LaMorte has included themes like Animal science, Sensible heat and Water-use efficiency in his Evapotranspiration study. Drip irrigation is closely connected to Water use in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Animal science. His Botany study incorporates themes from Environmental chemistry and Soil carbon.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (57.14%)
  • Carbon dioxide (54.76%)
  • Evapotranspiration (28.57%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2004-2018)?

  • Agronomy (57.14%)
  • Soil water (23.81%)
  • Carbon dioxide (54.76%)

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

R. L. LaMorte focuses on Agronomy, Soil water, Carbon dioxide, Drought tolerance and Canopy. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Evapotranspiration and Water content. His Evapotranspiration study combines topics in areas such as Stomatal conductance, Shoot, Poaceae, Root system and Transpiration.

His Poaceae research includes themes of Anthesis, Irrigation, Growing season, Biomass and Nutrient. R. L. LaMorte combines subjects such as Biomass, Productivity, Phenology and Nitrogen assimilation with his study of Water content. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Climate change and Energy balance.

Between 2004 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Interactive Effects of Elevated Carbon Dioxide and Drought on Wheat (80 citations)
  • Effect of Free Air Carbon dioxide Enrichment (FACE) on the chemical composition and nutritive value of wheat grain and straw. (40 citations)
  • Drought-induced changes in nitrogen partitioning between cyanide and nitrate in leaves and stems of sorghum grown at elevated CO2 are age dependent (23 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Carbon dioxide

R. L. LaMorte mostly deals with Agronomy, Drought tolerance, Carbon dioxide, Straw and Animal nutrition. The concepts of his Drought tolerance study are interwoven with issues in Nitrate and Root system. His studies deal with areas such as Silage and Sorghum, Sweet sorghum as well as Nitrate.

His Root system research includes elements of Stomatal conductance, Evapotranspiration, Shoot, Poaceae and Transpiration. There are a combination of areas like Composition and Chemical composition integrated together with his Straw study. R. L. LaMorte integrates Dhurrin and Cyanide in his research.
