Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Fungus

Claude Plassard spends much of his time researching Ecology, Botany, Rhizosphere, Nutrient and Ecosystem. His study in the fields of Biogeochemical cycle under the domain of Ecology overlaps with other disciplines such as Context, Psychological resilience and Function. He has researched Botany in several fields, including Symbiosis, Mycorrhiza, Hebeloma and Plant nutrition.

His Rhizosphere study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Agroforestry, Mediterranean vegetation and Rhizopogon roseolus. The various areas that he examines in his Nutrient study include Microorganism, Alkali soil, Mycelial cord and Ergosterol. The study incorporates disciplines such as Biomass and Mycelium in addition to Ecosystem.

His most cited work include:

  • Origins of root-mediated pH changes in the rhizosphere and their responses to environmental constraints: A review (865 citations)
  • The role of fungi in weathering (253 citations)
  • P for two, sharing a scarce resource - Soil phosphorus acquisition in the rhizosphere of intercropped species (218 citations)

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

Botany, Agronomy, Rhizosphere, Mycorrhiza and Soil water are his primary areas of study. He interconnects Symbiosis, Nutrient and Ectomycorrhiza in the investigation of issues within Botany. The subject of his Nutrient research is within the realm of Ecology.

His Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Eucalyptus, Microcosm, Mineralization and Soil horizon. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Rhizosphere, Phaseolus is strongly linked to Inoculation. His research in Soil water tackles topics such as Environmental chemistry which are related to areas like Pollutant.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (43.70%)
  • Agronomy (26.67%)
  • Rhizosphere (19.26%)

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

  • Agronomy (26.67%)
  • Soil water (17.78%)
  • Phosphate (10.37%)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Soil water, Phosphate, Botany and Nutrient. His research integrates issues of Eucalyptus, Mineralization and Soil structure in his study of Agronomy. Claude Plassard combines subjects such as Rhizosphere and Inoculation with his study of Soil water.

As a member of one scientific family, Claude Plassard mostly works in the field of Phosphate, focusing on Mycelium and, on occasion, Yeast and Assimilation. Botany is closely attributed to Ericoid mycorrhiza in his work. Claude Plassard studies Nutrient, focusing on Plant nutrition in particular.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Organic phosphorus in the terrestrial environment: a perspective on the state of the art and future priorities (71 citations)
  • Nitrogen and phosphate metabolism in ectomycorrhizas. (31 citations)
  • Lack of phosphorus reserves and remobilization in grey poplar (Populus × canescens): an exception among deciduous tree species? (23 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Fungus

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Nutrient, Agronomy, Botany, Hypha and Mycelium. His Nutrient research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Randomized block design and Fertilizer. His Agronomy study incorporates themes from Eucalyptus, Leaching, Topsoil and Soil horizon.

His research ties Phosphate and Botany together. His Hypha research includes elements of Hebeloma, Symbiosis, Hartig net and Plant physiology. His Mycelium research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ectomycorrhiza, Yeast and Cell biology.
