Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Ecology
  • Quantum mechanics

His primary areas of study are Hydrology, Water content, Ecohydrology, Vegetation and Soil water. His work in Hydrology covers topics such as Ecosystem which are related to areas like Arid, Infiltration and Surface runoff. His work carried out in the field of Water content brings together such families of science as Soil carbon and Leaching, Nitrogen cycle, Nitrogen.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Soil science, Water balance, Instability and Nonlinear system. His Water balance research includes themes of Evapotranspiration and Surface water. His Soil water research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Hydrology, Water table and Precipitation.

His most cited work include:

  • Plants in water-controlled ecosystems: active role in hydrologic processes and response to water stress: II. Probabilistic soil moisture dynamics (554 citations)
  • Plants in water-controlled ecosystems: active role in hydrologic processes and response to water stress: II. Probabilistic soil moisture dynamics (554 citations)
  • Plants in water-controlled ecosystems: active role in hydrologic processes and response to water stress: III. Vegetation water stress (494 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Hydrology, Water resources, Water content, Virtual water and Precipitation. His Hydrology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Vegetation, Soil water and Ecohydrology. Within one scientific family, Francesco Laio focuses on topics pertaining to Water table under Ecohydrology, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Wetland.

In Water content, he works on issues like Soil science, which are connected to Infiltration. His Virtual water study incorporates themes from Water use and Agricultural productivity. His Water balance study combines topics in areas such as Surface runoff and Surface water.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Hydrology (26.72%)
  • Water resources (12.96%)
  • Water content (15.38%)

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

  • Water resources (12.96%)
  • Natural resource economics (7.69%)
  • Virtual water (11.74%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Water resources, Natural resource economics, Virtual water, Water use and Agriculture. His research integrates issues of Sediment transport, Agricultural productivity, Downstream and Environmental protection in his study of Water resources. His Virtual water research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of International free trade agreement and Database.

His study on Water use also encompasses disciplines like

  • Spatial variability which is related to area like Mediterranean climate, Evapotranspiration, Crop yield and Yield,
  • Agricultural engineering which intersects with area such as Cash crop,
  • Agricultural economics and Agricultural land most often made with reference to Crop. His work in Water cycle addresses subjects such as Surface water, which are connected to disciplines such as Ecosystem. His study in Ecosystem is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Hydrology, Biodiversity and Fluvial.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global virtual water trade and the hydrological cycle: Patterns, drivers, and socio-environmental impacts (37 citations)
  • A Fast Track approach to deal with the temporal dimension of crop water footprint (29 citations)
  • To trade or not to trade: Link prediction in the virtual water network (28 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Ecology
  • Quantum mechanics

Francesco Laio mainly investigates Water resources, Natural resource economics, Water use, Virtual water and Index. His research in Water resources intersects with topics in Sediment transport, Species richness, Downstream and Environmental protection. His Natural resource economics research focuses on Agricultural productivity and how it connects with Water security, Water scarcity and Water cycle.

His Virtual water study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Network architecture, Network topology, Simulation and Econometrics. His research investigates the connection with Drainage basin and areas like Ecosystem which intersect with concerns in Hydrology. Many of his research projects under Hydrology are closely connected to Variable with Variable, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
