Rate My Professor Nigel Warwick

Prior to joining the University of New England, Warwick worked on research projects concerning plant water use in horticultural systems, biochemistry of leaf senescence, salinity, wetland plant ecology, and photosynthesis at the Plant Physiology Division DSIR in New Zealand, the School of Agriculture and Forestry at the University of Melbourne, the Institute of Biological Chemistry at Washington State University, USA, and the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology/CRC for Freshwater Ecology at Monash University. He has successfully supervised Honours, Masters, and Doctoral students from Australia, Bhutan, Ethiopia, Ghana, Jordan, India, Iran, Nepal, and Timor Leste, with postgraduates currently working on projects in the cereal, tomato, and berryfruit industries. Warwick maintains active research collaborations with cereal breeders at the NSW DPI Tamworth Agricultural Institute and the Jodrell Laboratory at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, United Kingdom. Key publications include 'Climate trends in the wood anatomy of Acacia s.s. (Leguminosae: Mimosoideae)' (Annals of Botany, 2017), 'Water relations and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) exposed to interactions of drought and fungal root diseases (Rhizoctonia and Pythium)' (Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science, 2018), and contributions to AusTraits, a curated plant trait database for the Australian flora (2021). He teaches units including Agricultural Ecology & Crop Physiology, Plant Physiology & Anatomy, and Plant Function & Environment at undergraduate, honours, and postgraduate levels. Warwick is a member of the Australian Society of Plant Scientists, Australian Society of Horticultural Science, International Society for Horticultural Science, and International Association of Wood Anatomists.
