  • Food science (9.64%)

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

His primary areas of study are Intercropping, Photosynthesis, Food science, Yield and Horticulture. His Intercropping study incorporates themes from Biomass and Canopy. His study in Photosynthesis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Pigment composition, Chlorophyll and Cultivar.

Wenyu Yang integrates many fields, such as Yield and Agronomy, in his works. His work on Agronomy is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Photosynthetically active radiation. His Horticulture research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Shade tolerance and Stomatal conductance.

Between 2020 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Crop photosynthetic response to light quality and light intensity (2 citations)
