Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Ecology
Botany
Horticulture

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Ecology, Sugar, Xylem and Starch. His Botany study frequently links to other fields, such as Horticulture. His Growing season, Phenology and Global warming study in the realm of Ecology interacts with subjects such as Tree and Dual effect.

His studies in Sugar integrate themes in fields like Plant roots, Animal science and Sucrose. His Xylem study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Soil science, Phytotron, Dehydration, Girdling and Juglans. His study in Starch is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Plant tissue and Woody plant.

His most cited work include:

Carbon allocation among tree organs: A review of basic processes and representation in functional-structural tree models (218 citations)
Carbon-based models of individual tree growth: A critical appraisal (193 citations)
Experimental analysis of the role of water and carbon in tree stem diameter variations (145 citations)

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

André Lacointe mostly deals with Botany, Horticulture, Juglans, Xylem and Sugar. His research in Botany intersects with topics in Starch and Sucrose. In general Horticulture, his work in Hardiness, Shoot and Dormancy is often linked to Hevea brasiliensis linking many areas of study.

His work deals with themes such as Taproot and Seedling, which intersect with Juglans. His Xylem research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Soil science, Transpiration, Hydraulic conductivity, Phloem and Aquaporin. His Sugar study incorporates themes from Animal science and Parenchyma.

He most often published in these fields:

Botany (55.68%)
Horticulture (38.64%)
Juglans (22.73%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

Horticulture (38.64%)
Frost (14.77%)
Phenology (13.64%)

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

André Lacointe mainly investigates Horticulture, Frost, Phenology, Experimental data and Biochemical engineering. His study on Apple scab, Malus x domestica and Leaf wetness is often connected to Contact angle and Dew as part of broader study in Horticulture. Frost combines with fields such as Hardiness, Water content and Acclimatization in his work.

André Lacointe has included themes like Perennial plant, Starch, Sucrose, Carbohydrate and Cold acclimation in his Hardiness study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Range, Temperate climate, Botany, Interspecific competition and Dormancy in addition to Water content. The Phenology study combines topics in areas such as Apple tree, Physical geography and Crop.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Dynamic Modeling of Carbon Metabolism During the Dormant Period Accurately Predicts the Changes in Frost Hardiness in Walnut Trees Juglans regia L. (11 citations)
CPlantBox, a whole-plant modelling framework for the simulation of water- and carbon-related processes (4 citations)
A Mechanistic Model to Predict Distribution of Carbon Among Multiple Sinks (3 citations)

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

Ecology
Botany
Horticulture

André Lacointe spends much of his time researching Sucrose transport, Osmotic pressure, Phloem transport, Phloem and Xylem. His Sucrose transport research incorporates Computer science and Biological system.
