Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Photosynthesis

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Xylem, Botany, Phloem, Phloem transport and Transpiration. The concepts of his Xylem study are interwoven with issues in Ecology and Stomatal conductance. His research integrates issues of Cavitation, Mechanics and Capillary action in his study of Botany.

As a member of one scientific family, Teemu Hölttä mostly works in the field of Phloem, focusing on Biophysics and, on occasion, Cambium. The Phloem transport study combines topics in areas such as Photosynthesis, Soil gas and Turgor pressure. In his research, Woody plant is intimately related to Agronomy, which falls under the overarching field of Photosynthesis.

His most cited work include:

  • Evaluating theories of drought‐induced vegetation mortality using a multimodel–experiment framework (269 citations)
  • Modeling xylem and phloem water flows in trees according to cohesion theory and Münch hypothesis (165 citations)
  • Linking phloem function to structure: Analysis with a coupled xylem–phloem transport model (152 citations)

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

Teemu Hölttä mainly focuses on Xylem, Botany, Scots pine, Phloem and Transpiration. His Xylem research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Hydraulic conductivity and Cavitation. In the subject of general Botany, his work in Photosynthesis is often linked to Tree structure, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

His Phloem research integrates issues from Osmotic pressure and Bark. The Transpiration study which covers Environmental chemistry that intersects with Water potential. Teemu Hölttä combines subjects such as Biological system, Sieve tube element and Turgor pressure with his study of Phloem transport.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Xylem (51.22%)
  • Botany (40.65%)
  • Scots pine (21.95%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Xylem (51.22%)
  • Scots pine (21.95%)
  • Stomatal conductance (11.38%)

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

His primary areas of study are Xylem, Scots pine, Stomatal conductance, Horticulture and Atmospheric sciences. His Xylem study is focused on Botany in general. The study incorporates disciplines such as Soil water, Monoterpene and Agronomy in addition to Scots pine.

His Stomatal conductance research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biophysics and Canopy. His work on Turgor pressure as part of general Horticulture research is frequently linked to Freezing point, Osmometer and Osmotic concentration, bridging the gap between disciplines. While the research belongs to areas of Atmospheric sciences, Teemu Hölttä spends his time largely on the problem of Tree health, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Remote sensing and Water stress.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Drought impacts on tree phloem: from cell-level responses to ecological significance. (19 citations)
  • Leaf carbon and water status control stomatal and nonstomatal limitations of photosynthesis in trees (12 citations)
  • Wood allocation trade-offs between fiber wall, fiber lumen, and axial parenchyma drive drought resistance in neotropical trees. (8 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Photosynthesis

Xylem, Stomatal conductance, Scots pine, Agronomy and Ecology are his primary areas of study. His study in Xylem is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Drought resistance and Hydraulic conductivity. His research in Stomatal conductance intersects with topics in Leaf water and Pinus .

His work deals with themes such as Soil water, Monoterpene and Transpiration, which intersect with Scots pine. As part of one scientific family, Teemu Hölttä deals mainly with the area of Agronomy, narrowing it down to issues related to the Canopy conductance, and often Cunninghamia and Acacia mangium. His work on Canopy, Climate change and Biogeochemical cycle as part of general Ecology study is frequently linked to Cellular level and Water scarcity, bridging the gap between disciplines.
