The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Photosynthesis

Thomas N. Buckley mainly focuses on Stomatal conductance, Botany, Photosynthesis, Transpiration and Ecology. While the research belongs to areas of Stomatal conductance, Thomas N. Buckley spends his time largely on the problem of Guard cell, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Turgor pressure, Hydraulic conductivity, Water balance and Terrestrial vegetation. The Xylem, Evergreen, Darkness and RuBisCO research Thomas N. Buckley does as part of his general Botany study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Conductance, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

His research in Photosynthesis intersects with topics in Atmospheric sciences, Terrestrial ecosystem and Biome. The Transpiration study combines topics in areas such as Water use, Agronomy and Canopy, Canopy photosynthesis. His work on Temporal heterogeneity as part of general Ecology research is often related to Context, Risk analysis and Strengths and weaknesses, thus linking different fields of science.

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Photosynthesis

Thomas N. Buckley mainly focuses on Photosynthesis, Transpiration, Stomatal conductance, Atmospheric sciences and Water exchange. He has researched Photosynthesis in several fields, including Leaf area index and Horticulture. His Transpiration study combines topics in areas such as Abundance, Climate change, Terrestrial ecosystem and Biome.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Ecology and Water content in addition to Stomatal conductance. His Atmospheric sciences research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biosphere, Radiative forcing, Water-use efficiency and Spatial variability. Water exchange is intertwined with Environmental resource management, Leaf analysis and Nexus in his study.
