Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Botany
Ecology
Flowering plant

Taylor S. Feild mostly deals with Ecology, Botany, Photosynthesis, Xylem and Water transport. His Ecology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Chloranthaceae and Transpiration. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Rainforest and Plant physiology.

Taylor S. Feild has researched Rainforest in several fields, including Plant ecology, Biodiversity, Climate change and Vascular plant. His Plant physiology research includes themes of Terrestrial plant and Tracheid. His Water transport research spans across into subjects like Vegetation, Biome and Arid.

His most cited work include:

Global convergence in the vulnerability of forests to drought (1256 citations)
Leaf Maximum Photosynthetic Rate and Venation Are Linked by Hydraulics (577 citations)
Why Leaves Turn Red in Autumn. The Role of Anthocyanins in Senescing Leaves of Red-Osier Dogwood (411 citations)

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

Taylor S. Feild mainly focuses on Botany, Ecology, Xylem, Water transport and Rainforest. Taylor S. Feild combines Ecology and Context in his studies. His Tracheid study, which is part of a larger body of work in Xylem, is frequently linked to Perforation, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His Water transport investigation overlaps with other areas such as Arid, Biome and Climate change. His work carried out in the field of Rainforest brings together such families of science as Biodiversity, Canopy, Tropics and Vegetation. His Photosynthesis research incorporates themes from Acclimatization, Anthocyanin, Palisade cell and Plant physiology.

He most often published in these fields:

Botany (66.07%)
Ecology (53.57%)
Xylem (42.86%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2017)?

Ecology (53.57%)
Evolutionary biology (7.14%)
Transpiration (19.64%)

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

Taylor S. Feild mainly investigates Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Transpiration, Permian and Fossil evidence. He studies Ecology, namely Organic matter. Taylor S. Feild interconnects Botany, Subgenus, Coalescent theory, Phylogenetic network and Reticulate evolution in the investigation of issues within Evolutionary biology.

His Transpiration research integrates issues from Woody plant and Xylem. Permian is connected with Time gap, Flowering plant and Molecular dating in his research.

Between 2014 and 2017, his most popular works were:

Weak tradeoff between xylem safety and xylem-specific hydraulic efficiency across the world's woody plant species (269 citations)
Stable isotopes in leaf water of terrestrial plants. (136 citations)
New Caledonia: a Pleistocene refugium for rain forest lineages of relict angiosperms (25 citations)

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

Ecology
Botany
Flowering plant

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Transpiration, Management research, Hydraulic efficiency and Nitrogen fertilizer. Ecology is a component of his Organic matter and Rainforest studies. As part of his studies on Organic matter, Taylor S. Feild often connects relevant subjects like Terrestrial plant.

His Rainforest research includes elements of Species distribution, Habitat and Vegetation. Many of his Management research research pursuits overlap with Woody plant, Biological sciences and Xylem. His Refugium study spans across into fields like Pleistocene and Range.
