Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Ecology

His primary areas of study are Horticulture, Photosynthesis, Botany, Plant growth and Light-emitting diode. His Horticulture research includes themes of Biomass and Canopy. He interconnects Closed ecological system, Life support system, Hydroponics and Nutrient in the investigation of issues within Biomass.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Carbon dioxide, Controlled ecological life support system and Agronomy, Sowing. His work on Chlorophyll and Lactuca as part of his general Botany study is frequently connected to Sodium, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His work carried out in the field of Light-emitting diode brings together such families of science as Green-light, Diode, Fluorescence and LED lamp.

His most cited work include:

  • Plant Productivity in Response to LED Lighting (384 citations)
  • Sodium—A Functional Plant Nutrient (265 citations)
  • Green-light supplementation for enhanced lettuce growth under red- and blue-light-emitting diodes. (258 citations)

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

Raymond M. Wheeler mainly investigates Horticulture, Agronomy, Life support system, Botany and Nutrient. His Horticulture research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Photosynthesis and Carbon dioxide. His Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Biomass and Transpiration.

The Life support system study which covers Space exploration that intersects with Systems engineering. His study in the fields of Stomatal conductance and Chlorophyll under the domain of Botany overlaps with other disciplines such as Sodium. Many of his studies on Nutrient apply to Hydroponics as well.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Horticulture (25.53%)
  • Agronomy (22.70%)
  • Life support system (17.73%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Horticulture (25.53%)
  • International Space Station (3.55%)
  • Crop (8.51%)

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

Raymond M. Wheeler mostly deals with Horticulture, International Space Station, Crop, Life support system and Light-emitting diode. The study incorporates disciplines such as Photosynthesis and Brassica rapa in addition to Horticulture. His studies in Crop integrate themes in fields like Track, photoperiodism, Genetically modified organism and Stomatal conductance.

His work deals with themes such as Spaceflight, Engineering management and Agricultural science, which intersect with Life support system. His Light-emitting diode research integrates issues from Biomass, Monochromatic color, Sunlight and Light transmission. While the research belongs to areas of Biomass, Raymond M. Wheeler spends his time largely on the problem of Water content, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Nutrient.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Growth Chambers on the International Space Station for Large Plants (29 citations)
  • VEG-01: Veggie Hardware Validation Testing on the International Space Station (27 citations)
  • Light-emitting Diode Light Transmission through Leaf Tissue of Seven Different Crops (20 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Carbon dioxide

Raymond M. Wheeler mainly focuses on Light-emitting diode, Horticulture, Agronomy, Plant growth and International Space Station. His study explores the link between Light-emitting diode and topics such as Sunlight that cross with problems in photoperiodism, Chlorophyll and Anthocyanin. His Horticulture study often links to related topics such as Organoleptic.

His Fertilizer study, which is part of a larger body of work in Agronomy, is frequently linked to Validation test, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Plant growth study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ecology, Habitat and Environmental protection. In his study, Dry weight and Brassica rapa is inextricably linked to Biomass, which falls within the broad field of Nutrient.
