Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Crop, Nitrogen cycle, Ecophysiology and Forestry. His work carried out in the field of Agronomy brings together such families of science as Canopy and Botany. The concepts of his Crop study are interwoven with issues in Fertilizer, Crop yield, Leaf area index and Dry matter.

His Nitrogen cycle research incorporates themes from Agriculture, Soil water, Primary production, Ecosystem and Vegetation. As a part of the same scientific study, Gilles Lemaire usually deals with the Ecophysiology, concentrating on Nutrient and frequently concerns with Poaceae. His work deals with themes such as Nitrogen fertilizer, Zea mays and Grazing, which intersect with Forestry.

His most cited work include:

  • N uptake and distribution in crops: an agronomical and ecophysiological perspective (548 citations)
  • N Uptake and Distribution in Plant Canopies (457 citations)
  • Decline in Percentage N of C3 and C4 Crops with Increasing Plant Mass (444 citations)

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

Gilles Lemaire focuses on Agronomy, Agroforestry, Crop, Grazing and Shoot. His study focuses on the intersection of Agronomy and fields such as Canopy with connections in the field of Dry matter. The study incorporates disciplines such as Ecology, Grassland management, Sustainability, Grassland and Ecosystem services in addition to Agroforestry.

The Crop study combines topics in areas such as Fertilizer, Allometry, Biomass, Agriculture and Biomass. Gilles Lemaire has researched Grazing in several fields, including Stocking, Pasture and Cycling. His research on Shoot also deals with topics like

  • Medicago sativa that intertwine with fields like Horticulture,
  • Ecophysiology that intertwine with fields like Nutrient.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (54.11%)
  • Agroforestry (24.66%)
  • Crop (20.55%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Agronomy (54.11%)
  • Crop (20.55%)
  • Crop livestock (4.11%)

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

Gilles Lemaire mainly focuses on Agronomy, Crop, Crop livestock, Agriculture and Cropping. His study in Fertilizer, Crop yield, Biomass, Water-use efficiency and Pasture are all subfields of Agronomy. His Fertilizer research integrates issues from Soil water, Nutrient and Greenhouse gas.

He has included themes like Canopy and Shoot in his Biomass study. His Crop research includes elements of Biomass, Vegetative reproduction, Cultivar and Allometry. Gilles Lemaire interconnects Agroforestry, Stocking and Agricultural sustainability in the investigation of issues within Crop livestock.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Integrated crop–livestock systems: Strategies to achieve synergy between agricultural production and environmental quality (284 citations)
  • Coupling carbon and nitrogen cycles for environmentally sustainable intensification of grasslands and crop-livestock systems (163 citations)
  • Quantifying crop nitrogen status for comparisons of agronomic practices and genotypes (83 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Botany

His main research concerns Agronomy, Crop, Cropping, Agriculture and Allometry. His work on Agronomy deals in particular with Biomass, Pasture, Tiller, Shoot and Crop rotation. His Pasture research incorporates elements of Canopy and Photosynthetically active radiation.

Many of his studies on Crop involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Fertilizer. In his study, Sustainability is inextricably linked to Environmental quality, which falls within the broad field of Agriculture. His studies in Allometry integrate themes in fields like Cultivar, Hybrid, Nitrate reductase, Biomass and Yield.
