Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Ecology
Botany
Carbon dioxide

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Eddy covariance, Botany, Horticulture and Ecosystem. While the research belongs to areas of Ecology, he spends his time largely on the problem of Atmospheric sciences, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Soil water, Fertilizer, Atmosphere, Primary productivity and Soil carbon. The various areas that Antonio Raschi examines in his Botany study include Carbon dioxide and Nutrient.

His Horticulture study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Quercus pubescens, Salicaceae and Pinus . His work in the fields of Ecosystem, such as Primary production, Ecosystem respiration and Soil respiration, intersects with other areas such as Flux. His Grassland research includes elements of Biogeochemical cycle, Greenhouse gas and Net ecosystem exchange.

His most cited work include:

Full accounting of the greenhouse gas (CO2, N2O, CH4) budget of nine European grassland sites (372 citations)
Partitioning European grassland net ecosystem CO2 exchange into gross primary productivity and ecosystem respiration using light response function analysis (283 citations)
Effects of climate and management intensity on nitrous oxide emissions in grassland systems across Europe (255 citations)

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

Antonio Raschi mainly focuses on Botany, Horticulture, Stomatal conductance, Carbon dioxide and Ecology. His Quercus pubescens research extends to the thematically linked field of Botany. The Chlorophyll research he does as part of his general Horticulture study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Thylakoid, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

His Stomatal conductance study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Photosynthetic capacity, Agronomy, Growing season and Water-use efficiency. Soil organic matter and Mineralogy is closely connected to Environmental chemistry in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Carbon dioxide. His research in Eddy covariance, Ecosystem, Grassland, Vegetation and Terrestrial ecosystem are components of Ecology.

He most often published in these fields:

Botany (40.91%)
Horticulture (20.91%)
Stomatal conductance (17.27%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

Stomatal conductance (17.27%)
Photosynthesis (12.73%)
Eddy covariance (8.18%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Stomatal conductance, Photosynthesis, Eddy covariance, Agronomy and Ecology. His Stomatal conductance study is concerned with the field of Botany as a whole. His Botany research includes themes of Pollution and Heavy metals.

His Photosynthesis research incorporates elements of Global warming and Horticulture. His work carried out in the field of Eddy covariance brings together such families of science as Climatology and Climate change. Ecology is frequently linked to Atmospheric sciences in his study.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

Joint control of terrestrial gross primary productivity by plant phenology and physiology (156 citations)
Global comparison of light use efficiency models for simulating terrestrial vegetation gross primary production based on the LaThuile database (121 citations)
The impact of built-up surfaces on land surface temperatures in Italian urban areas (67 citations)

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

Ecology
Botany
Carbon dioxide

Antonio Raschi mostly deals with Stomatal conductance, Eddy covariance, Ecosystem, Flux and Photosynthetic capacity. His study in Stomatal conductance is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Carbon dioxide, Agronomy and Water-use efficiency. His Eddy covariance research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Latent heat, Meteorology, Evapotranspiration and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index.

His research integrates issues of Hydrometeorology, Vegetation and Deciduous in his study of Ecosystem. His Stomatal aperture research is within the category of Botany. His research in Botany intersects with topics in Environmental chemistry and Heavy metals.
