Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Irrigation

His primary scientific interests are in Irrigation, Agronomy, Tillage, Olive trees and Soil water. His Irrigation research includes themes of Water use, Trunk, Botany and Evapotranspiration. His work in Agronomy tackles topics such as Soil quality which are related to areas like Soil organic matter.

His studies in Tillage integrate themes in fields like Agroforestry, Soil carbon and No-till farming. His Olive trees research focuses on subjects like Drip irrigation, which are linked to Olea, Calcareous and Water content. His Soil water course of study focuses on Plough and Crop residue.

His most cited work include:

  • No-till in northern, western and south-western Europe: A review of problems and opportunities for crop production and the environment (424 citations)
  • Stomatal control of water use in olive tree leaves (174 citations)
  • Heat-pulse measurements of sap flow in olives for automating irrigation: tests, root flow and diagnostics of water stress (162 citations)

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

Félix Moreno mainly investigates Agronomy, Irrigation, Soil water, Tillage and Olive trees. His Agronomy study incorporates themes from Soil type, Organic matter, Soil management, Mediterranean climate and Vertisol. The study incorporates disciplines such as Water balance, Evapotranspiration and Horticulture, Orchard in addition to Irrigation.

His work carried out in the field of Soil water brings together such families of science as Surface irrigation, Crop yield and Water content. His Tillage research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Agroforestry, Soil carbon, Soil quality, Crop rotation and No-till farming. Félix Moreno interconnects Olea, Irrigation management and Irrigation scheduling in the investigation of issues within Olive trees.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (46.43%)
  • Irrigation (39.29%)
  • Soil water (35.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2017)?

  • Irrigation (39.29%)
  • Irrigation scheduling (13.10%)
  • Olive trees (20.24%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Irrigation, Irrigation scheduling, Olive trees, Deficit irrigation and Orchard. The various areas that Félix Moreno examines in his Irrigation study include Water stress, Horticulture and Soil water. He studied Irrigation scheduling and Trunk that intersect with Statistics and Shrinkage.

His Deficit irrigation study deals with the bigger picture of Agronomy. He has researched Agronomy in several fields, including Organic matter, Mediterranean climate, Conservation agriculture and Jujube Fruit. His Orchard research incorporates themes from Shoot and Interception.

Between 2012 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Reduced tillage as an alternative to no-tillage under Mediterranean conditions: A case study (45 citations)
  • Regulated deficit irrigation based on threshold values of trunk diameter fluctuation indicators in table olive trees (28 citations)
  • Changes in the physiological response between leaves and fruits during a moderate water stress in table olive trees (23 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Irrigation

His primary areas of study are Deficit irrigation, Irrigation, Agronomy, Horticulture and Orchard. His study on Agronomy is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Flesh. His Horticulture study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sink, Field capacity and Botany.

The concepts of his Orchard study are interwoven with issues in Olive trees, Phenology, Trunk, Animal science and Irrigation scheduling. In his research, Félix Moreno undertakes multidisciplinary study on Phenology and Growth rate.
