  • 2017 - VZJ Reviewer-Editor's Citation of Excellence Award, American Society of Agronomy

Overview

Andrea Carminati is affiliated with ETH Zurich in Switzerland and has a substantial body of research primarily in agricultural and biological sciences as well as environmental science. Their work spans several interconnected fields, focusing largely on plant science, global and planetary change, soil science, civil and structural engineering, and environmental engineering.

Their research covers multiple key topics, including:

  • Plant Water Relations and Carbon Dynamics
  • Soil and Unsaturated Flow
  • Plant nutrient uptake and metabolism
  • Irrigation Practices and Water Management
  • Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics
  • Plant responses to water stress
  • Rice Cultivation and Yield Improvement

Andrea Carminati has published frequently in various scientific venues, with the most common being:

  • Plant and Soil
  • Plant Cell & Environment
  • New Phytologist
  • Annals of Botany
  • PLANT PHYSIOLOGY

Their recent papers include the following titles along with their year of publication and venues:

  • "Soil hydrology in the Earth system" (2022), Nature Reviews Earth & Environment
  • "Soil Rather Than Xylem Vulnerability Controls Stomatal Response to Drought" (2020), Trends in Plant Science
  • "Crop traits and production under drought" (2024), Nature Reviews Earth & Environment
  • "Root hydraulic phenotypes impacting water uptake in drying soils" (2022), Plant Cell & Environment
  • "Rhizosphere Spatiotemporal Organization-A Key to Rhizosphere Functions" (2020), Frontiers in Agronomy

Andrea Carminati has collaborated extensively with several co-authors, including:
