Claas Nendel is affiliated with the University of Potsdam in Germany and has contributed extensively to the fields of Agricultural and Biological Sciences and Environmental Science.

Their research spans several subfields, including Plant Science, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, Global and Planetary Change, Agronomy and Crop Science, and Ecology.

Key topics addressed in Nendel's work comprise:

  • Climate change impacts on agriculture
  • Crop Yield and Soil Fertility
  • Plant Water Relations and Carbon Dynamics
  • Remote Sensing in Agriculture
  • Land Use and Ecosystem Services
  • Plant responses to elevated CO2
  • Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics

Claas Nendel has authored several notable papers including:

  • Mapping of crop types and crop sequences with combined time series of Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2 and Landsat 8 data for Germany (2021, Remote Sensing of Environment)
  • Mapping grassland mowing events across Germany based on combined Sentinel-2 and Landsat 8 time series (2021, Remote Sensing of Environment)
  • Ten deep learning techniques to address small data problems with remote sensing (2023, International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation)
  • Modelling climate change impacts on maize yields under low nitrogen input conditions in sub-Saharan Africa (2020, Global Change Biology)
  • No perfect storm for crop yield failure in Germany (2020, Environmental Research Letters)

Nendel frequently collaborates with other researchers. Regular co-authors include Kurt Christian Kersebaum, Gerrit Hoogenboom, Roberto Ferrise, Frank Ewert, and Ehsan Eyshi Rezaei.

Their work is often published in journals and platforms such as Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), SSRN Electronic Journal, European Journal of Agronomy, Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, and Open Data Journal for Agricultural Research.
