He interested in many physiological processes: photosynthesis, respiration, growth, etiolation, metabolic transformations of proteins, nitrification, water transport and tropisms. Some of his works were pioneering (e.g. experiments on plants and lichens respiration). Godlewski is remembered in science as an author original research methods, and as a creator of the physiological instruments (e.g. apparatus for plants respiration). Godlewski was active member of Academy of Arts and Sciences, he worked in Class III Mathematics and Nature. He created own scientific school which had large significance for plant physiology development in Poland. In this school he educated many young scientists.
