Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Ecology, Fagaceae, Species richness and Biodiversity. His Botany study often links to related topics such as Ozone. When carried out as part of a general Ecology research project, his work on Mediterranean climate, Forest management, Range and Climate change is frequently linked to work in Context, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Beech, Fagus sylvatica, Deserts and xeric shrublands, Horticulture and Quercus petraea in addition to Fagaceae. The Biodiversity study combines topics in areas such as Forest ecology and Ecosystem. His work in Forest ecology covers topics such as Ecosystem services which are related to areas like Agroforestry and Spatial ecology.

His most cited work include:

  • Positive biodiversity-productivity relationship predominant in global forests (517 citations)
  • Frequently asked questions about in vivo chlorophyll fluorescence: Practical issues (370 citations)
  • Frequently asked questions about chlorophyll fluorescence, the sequel (217 citations)

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

Filippo Bussotti focuses on Botany, Ecology, Photosynthesis, Ozone and Fagus sylvatica. Botany and Horticulture are frequently intertwined in his study. His work in Ecosystem, Mediterranean climate, Forest ecology, Species richness and Biodiversity is related to Ecology.

His Ecosystem research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Agroforestry, Climate change, Vegetation and Environmental resource management. His studies deal with areas such as Acclimatization and Agronomy as well as Photosynthesis. His Ozone research integrates issues from Woody plant and Stomatal conductance.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (34.12%)
  • Ecology (27.49%)
  • Photosynthesis (14.69%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Ecology (27.49%)
  • Ecosystem (13.74%)
  • Photosynthesis (14.69%)

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Ecosystem, Photosynthesis, Agronomy and Climate change. His work on Biodiversity, Species richness, Tree species and Evergreen as part of general Ecology research is frequently linked to Tree, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Evergreen research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Fagus sylvatica and Sclerophyll.

Filippo Bussotti has included themes like Forest management, Vegetation, Crown and Scale in his Ecosystem study. Filippo Bussotti works mostly in the field of Photosynthesis, limiting it down to topics relating to Horticulture and, in certain cases, Stomatal conductance. His study explores the link between Climate change and topics such as Ecosystem services that cross with problems in Environmental resource management, Recreation, Forest inventory, Land use and Adaptation.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Frequently asked questions about chlorophyll fluorescence, the sequel (217 citations)
  • Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning relations in European forests depend on environmental context (120 citations)
  • Adaptation to high temperature mitigates the impact of water deficit during combined heat and drought stress in C3 sunflower and C4 maize varieties with contrasting drought tolerance (64 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Ecosystem

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Ecosystem, Species richness, Forest ecology and Ecosystem services. Filippo Bussotti is interested in Fagus sylvatica, which is a branch of Ecology. His Ecosystem study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Biodiversity.

His work deals with themes such as Betula pendula, Canopy, Botany, Productivity and Specific leaf area, which intersect with Species richness. His Forest ecology research includes elements of Forest management and Agronomy. His Ecosystem services research focuses on subjects like Environmental resource management, which are linked to Climate change, Disturbance, Forest restoration and Agroforestry.
