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)

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.
