Thomas W. Rufty

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Botany
• Ecology
• Agriculture

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Nitrate, Biochemistry, Agronomy and Animal science. The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Carbon dioxide, Nutrient and Metabolism. His studies deal with areas such as Lessivage, Leaching and Horticulture as well as Nitrate.

His Enzyme, Starch, Sucrose and Glycine study, which is part of a larger body of work in Biochemistry, is frequently linked to Potassium, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Agronomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cropping, Water resources and Transpiration. His Animal science research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Assimilation, Shoot and Nitrogen assimilation.

His most cited work include:

• Studies of the uptake of nitrate in barley. I. Kinetics of 13NO3- influx. (313 citations)
• Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Increase Organic Carbon Decomposition Under Elevated CO2 (278 citations)
• Alterations in Leaf Carbohydrate Metabolism in Response to Nitrogen Stress (165 citations)

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

Thomas W. Rufty mostly deals with Agronomy, Botany, Nitrate, Horticulture and Animal science. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Soil organic matter, Soil water, Nutrient and Transpiration. Thomas W. Rufty has included themes like Glycine, Carbon dioxide and Nicotiana tabacum in his Botany study.

He works mostly in the field of Glycine, limiting it down to topics relating to Starch and, in certain cases, Enzyme. His research in Nitrate tackles topics such as Cynodon dactylon which are related to areas like Dormancy. Thomas W. Rufty interconnects Plant nutrition and Darkness in the investigation of issues within Animal science.

He most often published in these fields:

• Agronomy (52.45%)
• Botany (39.16%)
• Nitrate (19.58%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

• Agronomy (52.45%)
• Transpiration (10.49%)
• Photosynthesis (13.99%)

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

Thomas W. Rufty focuses on Agronomy, Transpiration, Photosynthesis, Botany and Vapour Pressure Deficit. His Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Soil water and Soil drying. His studies in Transpiration integrate themes in fields like Water use, Crop, Genotype and Drought tolerance.

His research in the fields of Invasive species overlaps with other disciplines such as Initial Seed. His work deals with themes such as Grain yield, Plant growth and Yield, which intersect with Crop yield. His Nutrient research includes elements of Host and Abiotic component.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Increase Organic Carbon Decomposition Under Elevated CO2 (278 citations)
• Nitrogen and water resources commonly limit crop yield increases, not necessarily plant genetics (143 citations)
• Limited-transpiration response to high vapor pressure deficit in crop species (42 citations)

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

• Botany
• Ecology
• Agronomy

Thomas W. Rufty spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Transpiration, Vapour Pressure Deficit, Crop yield and Photosynthesis. The various areas that he examines in his Agronomy study include Enzyme assay, Soil water and Nutrient. Thomas W. Rufty combines subjects such as Cultivar, Crop, Glycine soja, Genotype and Drought tolerance with his study of Transpiration.

In Crop yield, he works on issues like Yield, which are connected to Water resources, Cropping and Resource. His work carried out in the field of Photosynthesis brings together such families of science as Crop growth, Grain yield and Plant growth. His Microcosm study which covers Carbon dioxide that intersects with Environmental chemistry.
