  • Soil horizon (17.93%)
  • Soil water (15.22%)

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

Agronomy, Soil horizon, Soil water, Root system and Nutrient are his primary areas of study. His Agronomy research incorporates elements of Eucalyptus, Dry season and Soil fertility. His research integrates issues of Randomized block design and Topsoil in his study of Eucalyptus.

Christophe Jourdan has included themes like Coppicing, Woody plant, Biomass and Subsoil in his Soil horizon study. His Soil water research includes elements of Biogeochemical cycle and Water content. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Rhizotron and Botany.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Consequences of mixing Acacia mangium and Eucalyptus grandis trees on soil exploration by fine-roots down to a depth of 17 m (27 citations)
  • Fertilization increases the functional specialization of fine roots in deep soil layers for young Eucalyptus grandis trees (16 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

His primary areas of investigation include Soil horizon, Agronomy, Soil water, Nutrient and Soil pH. The Soil horizon study combines topics in areas such as Eucalyptus, Biomass, Productivity, Randomized block design and Root system. Christophe Jourdan combines subjects such as Acacia mangium, Leaching, Topsoil and Human fertilization with his study of Eucalyptus.

His studies deal with areas such as Agroforestry, Water potential and Temperate climate as well as Agronomy. He has researched Soil water in several fields, including Forest ecology, Biogeochemical cycle and Digging. His Soil pH study combines topics in areas such as Poaceae, Botany and Tropical soils.
