Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Botany

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Primary production, Botany, Photosynthesis and Climate change. His Nutrient cycle, Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere and Wood production study in the realm of Ecology connects with subjects such as Maximization and Entropy production. His Primary production study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Pinus radiata.

His Respiration, Canopy and Leaf area index study, which is part of a larger body of work in Botany, is frequently linked to Projection, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work carried out in the field of Photosynthesis brings together such families of science as Productivity, Seasonality, Soil nutrients and Young forest. His Climate change study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Deciduous, Liquidambar styraciflua, Ecosystem, FluxNet and Stand development.

His most cited work include:

  • Progressive Nitrogen Limitation of Ecosystem Responses to Rising Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide (956 citations)
  • Does conversion of forest to agricultural land change soil carbon and nitrogen? a review of the literature (683 citations)
  • CO2 enhancement of forest productivity constrained by limited nitrogen availability (629 citations)

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

Ecology, Botany, Agronomy, Photosynthesis and Primary production are his primary areas of study. His study in Botany is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biophysics and Animal science. His research in Agronomy intersects with topics in Soil water, Nutrient and Water content.

The Photosynthesis study combines topics in areas such as Canopy, Acclimatization, Carbon dioxide and Boreal. His Primary production research incorporates themes from Productivity, Picea abies and Terrestrial ecosystem. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Carbon sequestration, Root system and Pinus radiata.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (33.33%)
  • Botany (29.49%)
  • Agronomy (32.05%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2018)?

  • Botany (29.49%)
  • Photosynthesis (26.92%)
  • Agronomy (32.05%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Photosynthesis, Agronomy, Eucalyptus saligna and Deciduous. His work deals with themes such as Canopy and Leaf area index, which intersect with Photosynthesis. His work is dedicated to discovering how Agronomy, Carbon sequestration are connected with Woody plant and Evergreen and other disciplines.

The various areas that Ross E. McMurtrie examines in his Deciduous study include Liquidambar styraciflua and Ecosystem. The concepts of his Liquidambar styraciflua study are interwoven with issues in Primary production and Soil water. His research investigates the connection with Primary production and areas like Climate change which intersect with concerns in Cycling.

Between 2007 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • CO2 enhancement of forest productivity constrained by limited nitrogen availability (629 citations)
  • Modeling carbon allocation in trees: a search for principles. (175 citations)
  • Why is plant-growth response to elevated CO2 amplified when water is limiting, but reduced when nitrogen is limiting? A growth-optimisation hypothesis (113 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Botany

Ross E. McMurtrie focuses on Deciduous, Ecology, Climate change, Liquidambar styraciflua and Ecosystem. His research integrates issues of Photosynthesis and Agronomy in his study of Deciduous. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ecophysiology, Carbon dioxide and Stomatal conductance.

Ross E. McMurtrie is involved in the study of Ecology that focuses on Vegetation in particular. He interconnects Primary production, FluxNet, Stand development and Cycling in the investigation of issues within Climate change. He works mostly in the field of Liquidambar styraciflua, limiting it down to concerns involving Biomass and, occasionally, Evergreen and Soil water.
