What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Shoot (12.27%)
  • Agronomy (19.09%)
  • Botany (40.00%)

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

His primary areas of study are Shoot, Agronomy, Botany, Plant phenotyping and Biomass. The various areas that he examines in his Shoot study include Chemical physics, Characterization, Photosynthesis and Metabolomics. His work on Legume as part of general Agronomy research is often related to Root and Nodule, thus linking different fields of science.

Ulrich Schurr works mostly in the field of Botany, limiting it down to topics relating to Metabolism and, in certain cases, Plant nutrition and Subspecies. His work is dedicated to discovering how Plant phenotyping, Data science are connected with Data mining and Plant growth and other disciplines. He has included themes like Stress and Root system in his Biotechnology study.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Ecology

Ulrich Schurr spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Biomass, Plant phenotyping, Data science and Lignin. His Agronomy research includes themes of Nutrient, Chlorella vulgaris, Metabolomics and Genomics. The concepts of his Biomass study are interwoven with issues in Perennial plant, Nitrogen deficiency, Flavonoid, Horticulture and Secondary metabolite.

His Perennial plant research is classified as research in Botany. His Plant phenotyping study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Agriculture and Precision agriculture. His study in Data science is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Field and Process.
