Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

Her primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Perennial plant, Plant nutrition, Irrigation and Poaceae. Her study on Poa bulbosa, Resistance and Grassland is often connected to Adaptive strategies as part of broader study in Agronomy. Perennial plant is a primary field of her research addressed under Ecology.

The concepts of her Plant nutrition study are interwoven with issues in Climate change and Ecosystem, Carbon cycle. Her study in Irrigation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Dactylis glomerata and Cultivar. She studied Poaceae and Temperate climate that intersect with Herbaceous plant, photoperiodism and Mediterranean climate.

Her most cited work include:

  • Summer Dormancy in Perennial Temperate Grasses (165 citations)
  • Survival and recovery of perennial forage grasses under prolonged Mediterranean drought: I. Growth, death, water relations and solute content in herbage and stubble. (121 citations)
  • Drought survival in Dactylis glomerata and Festuca arundinacea under similar rooting conditions in tubes (106 citations)

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

Florence Volaire focuses on Agronomy, Perennial plant, Dactylis glomerata, Mediterranean climate and Ecology. Her study in Agronomy focuses on Irrigation, Cultivar, Drought tolerance, Phalaris aquatica and Biomass. Florence Volaire interconnects Poaceae, Festuca arundinacea, Temperate climate, Horticulture and Water content in the investigation of issues within Perennial plant.

Her studies deal with areas such as Productivity, Pasture and Annual plant as well as Dactylis glomerata. Her research in Mediterranean climate intersects with topics in Water use, Rangeland and Water-use efficiency. Her research investigates the link between Ecology and topics such as Water stress that cross with problems in Sustainability.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (66.67%)
  • Perennial plant (62.67%)
  • Dactylis glomerata (38.67%)

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

  • Agronomy (66.67%)
  • Perennial plant (62.67%)
  • Mediterranean climate (30.67%)

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

Agronomy, Perennial plant, Mediterranean climate, Dactylis glomerata and Water use are her primary areas of study. Florence Volaire is involved in the study of Agronomy that focuses on Drought tolerance in particular. Her studies deal with areas such as Plant community and Trade-off as well as Perennial plant.

Her study explores the link between Mediterranean climate and topics such as Climate change that cross with problems in Abiotic component and Environmental resource management. Florence Volaire usually deals with Dactylis glomerata and limits it to topics linked to Irrigation and Cultivar, Biomass and Root system. Her Water use research incorporates elements of δ13C, Rangeland, Nutrient and Botany.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • A unified framework of plant adaptive strategies to drought: Crossing scales and disciplines. (70 citations)
  • How can forage production in Nordic and Mediterranean Europe adapt to the challenges and opportunities arising from climate change (26 citations)
  • Coping with drought: root trait variability within the perennial grass Dactylis glomerata captures a trade-off between dehydration avoidance and dehydration tolerance (16 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

Florence Volaire spends much of her time researching Mediterranean climate, Water use, Context, Stomatal conductance and Water-use efficiency. Her Mediterranean climate research includes themes of Perennial plant, Dactylis glomerata, Global change and Abiotic component. Water use is a subfield of Agronomy that she explores.

Florence Volaire incorporates a variety of subjects into her writings, including Context, Adaptation, Resource, Functional ecology, Environmental resource management and Resistance. Her Adaptation study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Desiccation tolerance. Stomatal conductance is connected with Herbaceous plant, δ13C, Botany, Nutrient and Specific leaf area in her research.
