Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Optics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Ecology, Spatial distribution, Canopy and Fruit tree. Botany is closely attributed to Horticulture in his research. The study incorporates disciplines such as Plant science and Plant development in addition to Ecology.

His Canopy research incorporates elements of Lacunarity, Discretization and Interception. He has included themes like Virtual image, Fractal and Vegetation in his Interception study. His Fruit tree research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Visual comparison, Canopy architecture and Ray tracing.

His most cited work include:

  • An overview of the crop model STICS (719 citations)
  • Functional-structural plant modelling. (227 citations)
  • Functional-structural plant modelling. (227 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Canopy, Botany, Interception, Horticulture and Photosynthesis. Hervé Sinoquet has researched Canopy in several fields, including Leaf area index, Agronomy, Atmospheric sciences, Photosynthetically active radiation and Remote sensing. His Interception study is associated with Ecology.

His work in the fields of Ecology, such as Soil water and Temporal scales, overlaps with other areas such as Plant models. Hervé Sinoquet combines subjects such as Morning and Irradiance with his study of Horticulture. His Transpiration, Photosynthetic capacity and Ecophysiology study, which is part of a larger body of work in Photosynthesis, is frequently linked to Chemistry, bridging the gap between disciplines.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Canopy (36.75%)
  • Botany (33.33%)
  • Interception (31.62%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2019)?

  • Interception (31.62%)
  • Botany (33.33%)
  • Canopy (36.75%)

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

Hervé Sinoquet mainly focuses on Interception, Botany, Canopy, Horticulture and Tree canopy. His Interception research includes elements of Scale, Juglans, Biological system and Agronomy. His work carried out in the field of Botany brings together such families of science as Biomass, Dispersion and Evapotranspiration.

His Canopy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Soil science, Fruit tree, Leaf area index, Crown and Orchard. His Fruit tree study combines topics in areas such as Ecology, Sustainability, Allometry and Agricultural engineering. The Horticulture study combines topics in areas such as Photosynthesis and Fagus sylvatica.

Between 2005 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Does shade improve light interception efficiency? A comparison among seedlings from shade‐tolerant and ‐intolerant temperate deciduous tree species (55 citations)
  • A new spectrogoniophotometer to measure leaf spectral and directional optical properties (54 citations)
  • Three-dimensional reconstruction of partially 3D-digitized peach tree canopies (54 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Optics

Hervé Sinoquet mainly investigates Interception, Botany, Canopy, Horticulture and Biological system. His research integrates issues of Fruit tree and Water use, Agronomy in his study of Interception. His Botany research integrates issues from Biomass, Transmittance and Atmospheric sciences.

Hervé Sinoquet interconnects Soil science, Leaf area index, Agricultural engineering, Sustainability and Crown in the investigation of issues within Canopy. His work on Shoot, Cultivar and Seedling as part of general Horticulture research is often related to Aceraceae, thus linking different fields of science. The concepts of his Biological system study are interwoven with issues in Tree, Scale and Representation.
