Research summary
AI-generated

Michael Benson's work spans environmental science, with a focus on how plants and agricultural systems exchange carbon, water, and energy with the atmosphere. Recent research examines bioenergy crops (plants grown for fuel) using flux-measurement techniques and machine learning, alongside earlier studies on tree responses to drought and atmospheric contaminant transport. The publication record also includes a distinct set of business/marketing studies on grocery retail category management.
