Overview

What is he best known for?

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.

His most cited work include:

  • The control of stomata by water balance. (465 citations)
  • A hydromechanical and biochemical model of stomatal conductance (252 citations)
  • Evidence for Involvement of Photosynthetic Processes in the Stomatal Response to CO2 (182 citations)

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

Thomas N. Buckley spends much of his time researching Botany, Stomatal conductance, Transpiration, Photosynthesis and Ecology. His work on Photosynthetic capacity, Xylem and Turgor pressure as part of general Botany study is frequently linked to Water transport and Conductance, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Water-use efficiency, Water balance, Agronomy and Horticulture.

His Transpiration research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Water use and Water potential, Water content. His study in Photosynthesis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Carbon dioxide, Atmospheric sciences and Terrestrial ecosystem. His work on Old-growth forest and Global warming is typically connected to Life span, Rapid rise and Environmental resource as part of general Ecology study, connecting several disciplines of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (53.47%)
  • Stomatal conductance (46.53%)
  • Transpiration (38.61%)

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

  • Photosynthesis (36.63%)
  • Horticulture (19.80%)
  • Transpiration (38.61%)

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

Thomas N. Buckley mostly deals with Photosynthesis, Horticulture, Transpiration, Stomatal conductance and Atmospheric sciences. His work on Photosynthesis is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Leaf area index. His Horticulture study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Vascular bundle, Carbon gain and Crop.

His research ties Water content and Transpiration together. His Stomatal conductance study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Vapour Pressure Deficit and Biome. His studies deal with areas such as Water-use efficiency and Spatial variability as well as Atmospheric sciences.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Plant responses to rising vapor pressure deficit. (81 citations)
  • How do stomata respond to water status (73 citations)
  • Tamm Review: Reforestation for resilience in dry western U.S. forests (35 citations)

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.
