Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Botany

Jacques Ranger mainly focuses on Soil water, Agronomy, Eucalyptus, Nutrient and Ecology. His Soil water research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Afforestation, Biogeochemical cycle and Weathering. His studies in Agronomy integrate themes in fields like Beech and Plant litter.

His work deals with themes such as Nutrient cycle, Agroforestry, Acacia and Sowing, which intersect with Eucalyptus. The study incorporates disciplines such as Ecosystem, Chronosequence, Soil fertility, Biomass and Forestry in addition to Nutrient. His work carried out in the field of Soil fertility brings together such families of science as Soil acidification and Forest management.

His most cited work include:

  • Impact of several common tree species of European temperate forests on soil fertility (565 citations)
  • Effects of tree species on understory vegetation and environmental conditions in temperate forests (196 citations)
  • Tracing the origin of dissolved silicon transferred from various soil-plant systems towards rivers: a review (181 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Soil water, Forestry, Nutrient, Agronomy and Soil fertility. His studies in Soil water integrate themes in fields like Environmental chemistry, Forest ecology and Weathering. In Forestry, Jacques Ranger works on issues like Forest floor, which are connected to Lysimeter.

His studies deal with areas such as Eucalyptus, Botany, Biomass and Ecosystem as well as Nutrient. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mineralization, Soil organic matter, Topsoil, Plant litter and Biomass.
