Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Eucalyptus, Agronomy, Soil water and Ecology. His Botany research incorporates themes from Biomass and Statistics. His Eucalyptus study incorporates themes from Canopy, Sowing, Myrtaceae and Soil horizon.

His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Land use, Trade-off, Soil respiration, Spatial variability and Ecosystem respiration. His research in Soil water intersects with topics in Plant community, Mediterranean climate and Foraging. His Picea abies, Spatial heterogeneity and Litter study in the realm of Ecology connects with subjects such as Fagus sylvatica.

His most cited work include:

  • Acquisition of phosphorus and other poorly mobile nutrients by roots. Where do plant nutrition models fail (147 citations)
  • Age-related equations for above- and below-ground biomass of a Eucalyptus hybrid in Congo (146 citations)
  • Spatial and temporal variations of soil respiration in a Eucalyptus plantation in Congo (145 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Botany, Soil horizon, Agroforestry and Root system. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Eucalyptus, Soil water, Topsoil and Nutrient. His Soil water research is included under the broader classification of Ecology.

His work in the fields of Botany, such as Canopy, overlaps with other areas such as Root. His Soil horizon study deals with Soil carbon intersecting with Total organic carbon. His Root system study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Stochastic modelling and Biological system.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (30.98%)
  • Botany (19.57%)
  • Soil horizon (17.93%)

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

  • Agronomy (30.98%)
  • 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)
  • Linking conifer root growth and production to soil temperature and carbon supply in temperate forests (14 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.
