Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Alexandru Milcu focuses on Ecology, Biodiversity, Ecosystem, Species richness and Biomass. His study looks at the relationship between Ecology and topics such as Agronomy, which overlap with Soil organic matter and Soil carbon. Alexandru Milcu has researched Biodiversity in several fields, including Biota and Species diversity.

His Ecosystem study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Monoculture, Plant–soil feedback and Abiotic component. His Species richness research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Trophic level, Food web and Ecosystem diversity. As part of the same scientific family, Alexandru Milcu usually focuses on Decomposer, concentrating on Litter and intersecting with Botany.

His most cited work include:

  • Bottom-up effects of plant diversity on multitrophic interactions in a biodiversity experiment (570 citations)
  • Plant diversity effects on soil microorganisms support the singular hypothesis. (306 citations)
  • Plant Diversity Surpasses Plant Functional Groups and Plant Productivity as Driver of Soil Biota in the Long Term (147 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Ecosystem, Species richness, Biodiversity and Agronomy. His study in the fields of Plant community, Soil biology, Decomposer and Abiotic component under the domain of Ecology overlaps with other disciplines such as Microbial population biology. His Ecosystem research includes themes of Monoculture, Climate change, Grassland and Evapotranspiration.

His study in Species richness is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biomass, Productivity, Species diversity and Plant litter. His Biodiversity research includes elements of Trophic level, Nitrogen cycle and Ecosystem services. His research in Agronomy intersects with topics in Biomass, Soil water, Nutrient and Stomatal conductance.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (65.57%)
  • Ecosystem (53.28%)
  • Species richness (53.28%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Ecosystem (53.28%)
  • Biodiversity (48.36%)
  • Ecology (65.57%)

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

Alexandru Milcu mainly investigates Ecosystem, Biodiversity, Ecology, Agronomy and Grassland. Alexandru Milcu interconnects Ecology, Climate change and Environmental resource management in the investigation of issues within Ecosystem. He has included themes like Biomass and Species richness in his Biodiversity study.

The Species richness study combines topics in areas such as Subtropics, Productivity, Chemical process of decomposition, Litter and Species diversity. His work on Field experiment and Germination as part of his general Agronomy study is frequently connected to Root and Density dependence, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. Alexandru Milcu works mostly in the field of Plant community, limiting it down to concerns involving Soil water and, occasionally, Environmental chemistry.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Future of Complementarity: Disentangling Causes from Consequences (73 citations)
  • The Future of Complementarity: Disentangling Causes from Consequences (73 citations)
  • Understanding ecosystems of the future will require more than realistic climate change experiments - a response to Korell et al. (19 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

His main research concerns Ecosystem, Biodiversity, Ecology, Agronomy and Species richness. His Ecosystem research integrates issues from Resource, Climate change and Environmental resource management. His Biodiversity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ecosystem services, Evolutionary ecology and Ecosystem ecology.

His work on Plant–soil feedback, Abiotic component and Monoculture as part of general Ecology research is often related to Facilitation and Complementarity, thus linking different fields of science. Alexandru Milcu has researched Agronomy in several fields, including Shrubland, Chemical process of decomposition, Species diversity and Plant litter. His Species richness study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Shrub, Biomass, Productivity, Grassland and Plant community.
