Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Botany

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Energy crop, Agronomy, Agroforestry, Bioenergy and Biofuel. Her research on Energy crop concerns the broader Biomass. Her Biomass study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Geostatistics, Spatial variability and Spatial dependence.

She has included themes like Panicum virgatum and Echium plantagineum in her Agronomy study. Her research in Agroforestry intersects with topics in Agriculture, Arable land, Short rotation coppice and Renewable energy. Her Bioenergy research includes elements of Sustainability and Greenhouse gas.

Her most cited work include:

  • Mineral composition and ash content of six major energy crops. (297 citations)
  • Land-use change to bioenergy production in Europe: implications for the greenhouse gas balance and soil carbon (267 citations)
  • Root distribution and soil moisture retrieval in perennial and annual energy crops in Northern Italy (137 citations)

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

Andrea Monti focuses on Agronomy, Biomass, Bioenergy, Biofuel and Agroforestry. Andrea Monti has researched Agronomy in several fields, including Arundo donax and Panicum virgatum. The Biomass study combines topics in areas such as Raw material and Sorghum, Sweet sorghum.

Her Biofuel course of study focuses on Sustainability and Agricultural economics and Renewable resource. Her Agroforestry study also includes

  • Land use, land-use change and forestry most often made with reference to Greenhouse gas,
  • Soil carbon and related Carbon sequestration. Her work carried out in the field of Energy crop brings together such families of science as Monoculture, Life-cycle assessment, Cropping, Crop yield and Agricultural engineering.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (55.42%)
  • Biomass (42.77%)
  • Bioenergy (30.72%)

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

  • Agronomy (55.42%)
  • Biomass (42.77%)
  • Crop (12.65%)

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

Andrea Monti mainly investigates Agronomy, Biomass, Crop, Biofuel and Bioenergy. Her Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Arundo donax and Phytoremediation, Heavy metals. The various areas that Andrea Monti examines in her Biomass study include Ecotype and Irrigation.

In general Biofuel study, her work on Biomass feedstock often relates to the realm of Crotalaria juncea, thereby connecting several areas of interest. Her work deals with themes such as Raw material, Agroforestry, Intercropping and Sorghum, which intersect with Bioenergy. Her studies in Agroforestry integrate themes in fields like Cropping and Agriculture.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Marginal Agricultural Land Low-Input Systems for Biomass Production (41 citations)
  • Shifting sowing of camelina from spring to autumn enhances the oil quality for bio-based applications in response to temperature and seed carbon stock (15 citations)
  • Trade-off between harvest date and lignocellulosic crop choice for advanced biofuel production in the Mediterranean area (7 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Botany

Her primary areas of study are Agronomy, Biomass, Crop, Sowing and Growing season. Her Agronomy research incorporates elements of Stomatal conductance and Soil horizon. Miscanthus and Panicum virgatum are the primary areas of interest in her Biomass study.

In Crop, Andrea Monti works on issues like Raw material, which are connected to Growing degree-day. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Camelina, Camelina sativa and Mediterranean climate. Her research in Bioenergy tackles topics such as Agroforestry which are related to areas like Agriculture.
