Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agronomy
  • Agriculture

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Forage, Shoot, Perennial plant and Growing season. His research on Agronomy often connects related areas such as Plant nutrition. The concepts of his Forage study are interwoven with issues in Legume, Dry matter, Red Clover and Sucrose.

His research investigates the connection between Perennial plant and topics such as Overwintering that intersect with issues in Global warming, Forage crop, Climate change and Cold hardening. His Growing season research incorporates elements of Chlorophyll and Animal science. His Fertilizer study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Loam and Manure.

His most cited work include:

  • Ecosystem function enhanced by combining four functional types of plant species in intensively managed grassland mixtures: a 3‐year continental‐scale field experiment (160 citations)
  • Root biomass and shoot to root ratios of perennial forage crops in eastern Canada (144 citations)
  • Emissions of N2O from Alfalfa and soybean crops in Eastern Canada (127 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Forage, Dry matter, Human fertilization and Fertilizer. Agronomy and Soil water are commonly linked in his work. His Forage study also includes fields such as

  • Perennial plant which connect with Overwintering,
  • Sucrose together with Starch.

In the subject of general Dry matter, his work in Neutral Detergent Fiber is often linked to Mathematics and Milk fever, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His Human fertilization research integrates issues from Crop yield, Grassland, Crop and Irrigation. In Fertilizer, Gilles Bélanger works on issues like Loam, which are connected to Soil classification.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (79.66%)
  • Forage (30.51%)
  • Dry matter (26.55%)

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

  • Agronomy (79.66%)
  • Forage (30.51%)
  • Mathematics (10.17%)

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

Gilles Bélanger spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Forage, Mathematics, Fertilizer and Human fertilization. Gilles Bélanger combines subjects such as Biomass and Soil water with his study of Agronomy. Nitrate and Growing season is closely connected to Horticulture in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Biomass.

His Forage research incorporates themes from Perennial plant, Legume, Dry matter and Yield. His Dry matter study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cultivar and Phleum. His Fertilizer research focuses on Shoot and how it connects with Vegetative reproduction, Phosphorus concentration and Field experiment.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Weed suppression greatly increased by plant diversity in intensively managed grasslands: A continental-scale experiment (26 citations)
  • Allometric approach to crop nutrition and implications for crop diagnosis and phenotyping. A review (19 citations)
  • Simulated Canola Yield Responses to Climate Change and Adaptation in Canada (18 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy

His main research concerns Agronomy, Biomass, Shoot, Fertilizer and Mathematics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Climate model and Water content. The study incorporates disciplines such as Climate change, Soil water, Cultivar and Grassland in addition to Biomass.

His studies in Cultivar integrate themes in fields like Crop simulation model and Leaf area index. His work investigates the relationship between Grassland and topics such as Monoculture that intersect with problems in Field experiment. His studies deal with areas such as Crop and Human fertilization as well as Shoot.
