Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Photosynthesis

Her primary scientific interests are in Botany, Beech, Deciduous, Evergreen and Fagus sylvatica. She is involved in the study of Botany that focuses on Fagaceae in particular. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Soil water, Ecosystem, Carbon cycle and Respiration.

Her Soil respiration study, which is part of a larger body of work in Respiration, is frequently linked to Atmospheric sciences, bridging the gap between disciplines. Her work investigates the relationship between Deciduous and topics such as Horticulture that intersect with problems in Quercus petraea, Phenology and Scots pine. As part of her studies on Fagus sylvatica, she often connects relevant areas like Temperate forest.

Her most cited work include:

  • The carbon balance of a young Beech forest (258 citations)
  • Mixotrophy in orchids: insights from a comparative study of green individuals and nonphotosynthetic individuals of Cephalanthera damasonium (210 citations)
  • Comparing the intra-annual wood formation of three European species (Fagus sylvatica, Quercus petraea and Pinus sylvestris) as related to leaf phenology and non-structural carbohydrate dynamics. (191 citations)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Botany, Ecology, Fagus sylvatica, Beech and Quercus petraea. Her work carried out in the field of Botany brings together such families of science as δ13C, Carbon dioxide and Horticulture. In her research, Q10 is intimately related to Crown, which falls under the overarching field of Fagus sylvatica.

The various areas that Claire Damesin examines in her Beech study include Biomass, Canopy, Growing season and Respiration. Her Quercus petraea research integrates issues from Temperate forest, Eddy covariance and Phenology. While the research belongs to areas of Deciduous, she spends her time largely on the problem of Evergreen, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Fagaceae.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (72.60%)
  • Ecology (49.32%)
  • Fagus sylvatica (65.75%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Ecology (49.32%)
  • Fagus sylvatica (65.75%)
  • Growing season (54.79%)

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

Claire Damesin mostly deals with Ecology, Fagus sylvatica, Growing season, Agronomy and Beech. Her study in the fields of Ecosystem and Temperate climate under the domain of Ecology overlaps with other disciplines such as Vascular transport, Nitrogen deficiency and Context. Fagus sylvatica is closely attributed to Quercus petraea in her study.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Biomass, Phloem and Xylem in addition to Growing season. Her research brings together the fields of Soil horizon and Beech. Her work deals with themes such as δ18O, δ13C and Horticulture, which intersect with Botany.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Reduced stem growth, but no reserve depletion or hydraulic impairment in beech suffering from long-term decline (13 citations)
  • Reduced stem growth, but no reserve depletion or hydraulic impairment in beech suffering from long-term decline (13 citations)
  • Reduced stem growth, but no reserve depletion or hydraulic impairment in beech suffering from long-term decline (13 citations)
